In February <strong>2021</strong>, the Municipal Capacity Building Institute (ICAMU, for its Spanish<br />
acronym) was inaugurated with the encore of the oft-requested workshop "Public<br />
Nuisances in the New Municipal Code" together with the Center for Habitat<br />
Reconstruction. Amassing an audience of over 150 people, we recognized that ICAMU<br />
would be an ideal tool for training the municipal ecosystem in various thematic axes and<br />
issues that municipalities work on daily. Throughout <strong>2021</strong>, virtual workshops and trainings<br />
were held on issues related to planning, solid waste management, environmental<br />
stewardship, disaster mitigation, access to available funds, public policies, government<br />
transparency, and more.<br />
To ensure further dissemination of these resources, a YouTube channel was launched<br />
with the recordings of the workshops along with digital folders containing accessible<br />
resources relevant to the topics discussed. We thank AARP Puerto Rico, Abruña &<br />
