The Integral Development Program (PDM) of the Episcopal Church of Cuba (ECC) has been implemented since 2013. Jointly the PWRDF and the Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) have funded the PDM program plan. The PDM program has fostered awareness and empowerment among rural and poor communities to end food scarcity, poor diet, and dependency. The program encourages women and men equal participation in all the opportunities offered by the program, such as training, micro-enterprise ventures, work income, and saving with education and raising awareness about gender-based violence.

Dr. Bringas has been working with ECC since 2012. He holds a PhD in Education, and he is a professor of doctoral programs at universities in Bolivia, Ecuador and Panama. Dr. Bringas is also a consultant for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Cuba and an author of several articles and books on Community Development Projects.
