Monitoring, Follow-Up, and Control System\n\nMunicipal plans must be submitted to the Ministry of Health for registration, follow-up (seguimiento), and monitoring, in accordance with Article No. 12 of Ley 8839. Likewise, in compliance with Article No. 17 of the Law's Implementing Regulations, the follow-up and oversight of planning instruments fall under the Ministry of Health's responsibility, in accordance with the evaluation criteria it defines.\n\nThe objective of the monitoring and follow-up plan is to determine the progress and fulfillment of what has been planned, as well as to identify opportunities for improvement in each planned activity, or unforeseen situations that diverge from what was planned.\n\nRegarding follow-up, the results of the indicators must be measured and reported annually by the Director of Environmental Management (Director de Gestión Ambiental) and communicated to the Ministry of Health and to the Internal Audit office of the Municipalidad de Goicoechea.\n\nThe following shows the monitoring, follow-up, and control plan:\n\nTable 21.

Such projects must have adequate economic and environmental viability so that their implementation brings significant benefits to all participating municipalities, seeking to optimize the use of resources and to minimize the carbon footprint (huella de carbono). These projects will seek to use the most appropriate technology in the area of GIR, in accordance with the available economic resources. The projects intended to be carried out will be communicated to the Ministry of Health (Governing Authority for GIR — Ente Rector GIR) and to the public in a timely manner.\n\n9.
