6.4.4. Encourage the development of the district as a basis for incorporating intellectual
property into local products
The government has identified the district as the basis for planning the country’s economic,
social and cultural development. The incentives provided by the government for the districts are
designed to give them useful tools for triggering their development, using their existing resources
to promote self-sufficiency.
In this context, each district, as a development hub, will need to analyze its own potential in
terms of typical local products and those with the greatest competitive advantage.
This aim will be achieved by means of the following strategic actions:
•
Analyzing and registering typical local products and promoting an appreciation of them
through the granting of intellectual property rights, in particular certification marks,
appellations of origin and geographical indications;
•
Setting up programs to develop a product associated and identified with each district, and
promoting its dissemination and protection, certifying it with a local mark or appellation
of origin or geographical indication;
•
Incentivizing the setting up of local structures responsible for identifying, industrializing
and marketing typical local products and encouraging an appreciation of them, using
certification marks, appellations of origin and geographical indications to add value to
them;
