El presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar procesos educomunicacionales para la prevención de la violencia sexual en niñas y niños en el marco del proyecto “Protección e Igualdad de Género”, impulsado por el organismo no gubernamental Plan International. Esta experiencia fue implementada de junio a diciembre de 2018 en los municipios de Achacachi y Jesús de Machaca (La Paz), Padcaya y San Lorenzo (Tarija), Buena Vista y El Torno (Santa Cruz) y, por último, en Tarabuco y Zudañez (Chuquisaca). La presente investigación presenta al campo de la educomunicación como una herramienta capaz de generar procesos de transformación social (Aparici, 2003) –en este caso– en beneficio y protección de niñas y niños. El enfoque metodológico del estudio es cualitativo, se aplicaron entrevistas en profundidad y grupos focales a madres, padres, niñas y niños, con el fin de recoger información descriptiva que permita explicar el fenómeno. Los resultados muestran que tanto niñas como niños son capaces de identificar señales de violencia y denunciar cualquier acción que viole su derecho a la protección. El análisis que se expone a continuación contribuye al debate sobre el desarrollo de competencias educomunicativas, con el fin de construir un ambiente favorable para la autoprotección y protección de la niñez y, al mismo tiempo, verifica que las poblaciones estudiadas son capaces de prevenir y reducir hechos violentos a través de procesos educomunicativos.

El artículo describe, a juicio del autor, las características principales de las ciudades de La Paz y El Alto, ubicadas al este de Bolivia, que junto con Cochabamba y Santa Cruz constituyen las tres metrópolis del país. Destaca que, en el marco de lo establecido por la Constitución Política del Estado, debe ser considerada Región Metropolitana. Señala que a diferencia de los procesos clásicos de constitución de metrópolis, La Paz-El Alto son el resultado de una división político-administrativa producto de la priorización de intereses políticos, desatención institucional y marginamientos socioculturales. Expresa los procesos de transformación espacial que se dan en la Región Metropolitana y los escenarios y tendencias resultado de su potencial.

Significance On the basis of exit polls and preliminary rapid counts, the MAS has clearly suffered an electoral reverse. However, in line with previous sub-national elections, this reflects the problem the party has in selecting sufficient candidates at that level who command widespread support. For the opposition, the election represented something of a recovery from its poor showing in last October's presidential and legislative elections. Impacts Demographic trends will further underline the political and economic strength of Santa Cruz vis-a-vis La Paz. The downturn in natural gas prices will mean that the government will have less money to redistribute to sub-national tiers of government. Costas has reaffirmed his position as Morales's chief political foe, but his appeal beyond Santa Cruz is limited.

Rich Flora

Abstract The botanical exploration of Bolivia during the last two centuries did not leave a botanical legacy in the country. Only towards the end of the 20th century Bolivia saw the start of the biology careers at its universities and the development of its own herbaria. Nowadays there are important herbaria in La Paz, Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and Sucre with collections ranging between 40,000 and 350,000 specimens. In 2014 a catalogue of the vascular flora of Bolivia was published under the auspices of the Missouri Botanical Garden, recording 15,345 species, of which 12,165 are native and 2,343 are endemic, while 694 are cultivated, 267 adventitious and 221 are naturalized. Endemic species of vascular plants add up to 2,343 species. The 286 families listed follow the APG III classification system. There are about 150 botanists in Bolivia interested in studying the country's rich flora. During a workshop organized in 2013 to promote a Flora of Bolivia, the participants established jointly a preliminary format for the taxonomic treatments. The Flora of Bolivia is planned to be an electronic, open access publication with international participation. The World Flora represents a challenge that must be tackled by circumscribing, verifying and recording all species known within our territory, and it is expected that it will have positive repercussions from and towards the ongoing Flora of Bolivia, in a similar way as the long running series of the Flora Neotropica has provided a wider picture that can be adapted and modified to fit our particular country.

Municipal solid waste management (MWSM) systems have been evolving across most of the developing world. However, despite decades of refinement, they are still underperforming in many cities, leading to negative sustainability impacts in rapidly urbanizing cities of the global South. Despite similarities in the observed transitions between developed and developing countries, there are important differences in their characteristics and underlying drivers. This study aims to unravel the sustainability transitions of the MSWM systems in the two major cities of Bolivia, La Paz and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, illustrating the role of various actors, and specifically local governments. This is achieved through the analysis of secondary data and expert interviews with stakeholders involved in different aspects of the MSWM system at the national and local level. We identify three partially overlapping sustainability transitions in the two cities, namely “Collection and centralized disposal”, “Environmentally controlled disposal”, and “Integrated solid waste management”. However, timelines, speed and elements of these transitions are somewhat different between cities, largely due to their inherent characteristics, institutions and stakeholder dynamics. Many technological, socioeconomic, and institutional factors converge to facilitate and hinder these transitions, including interactions of government and private sector actors, and the country’s broader political context.
