The Block Temático de la Reforma a la Ley General del Ambiente involved two work sessions between técnicos of SERNA and AMHON to construct a proposal for reforma to the Ley General del Ambiente. The borrador was then discussed with técnicos from the Municipalidades that currently have descentralizado licenciamiento ambiental.

During the period of vacaciones del Congreso Nacional, the Alcaldes members of the comisiones de incidencia política of AMHON will convene the Diputados from each of the Departamentos to work sessions to socialize the anteproyectos de ley.

The process was extensive, and five versions of borradores were obtained before achieving a consensuado document between the parties. The anteproyecto de reglamento was sent to the Procuraduría General de la República for dictaminación, and the document was then turned over to the Secretaria de la Presidencia for a final review. The sector ONGD remained attentive, and FOPRIDEH conducted several follow-up meetings with the Secretario de Estado in the Despachos del Interior and Población, with his legal advisors, with the President Lobo, and with the Secretario General del Despacho Presidencial. The Reglamento de la Ley Especial de Fomento para las Organizaciones No Gubernamentales de Desarrollo defines the procedure and functioning of the ONGD, with clear rules on the requirements of the content of the statutes that the SEIP can demand in the constitution of the organizations, establishes causes and procedures for suspension and cancellation, and regulates the economic activities without profit for the sustainability of the organizations.
