The participation of the actors in the conception of international development projects. The case of a Canada - Colombia project
(Universidad EAFIT, 2019-12-05) Navarro-Flores, Olga; Hernando Sánchez, Luis; Université du Québec à Montréal-UQÀM
International Development Projects (IDPs) are initiatives that seek to promote development within a context of power asymmetry, multiple and diverse actors, and ambitious objectives. The project under study seeks to improve the living conditions of young people in a mining region in Colombia, through a twofold objective: ecological and social, and the objective is to analyze the participation of the actors in the design phase of the project, in order to deepen the understanding of their dynamics in that phase and within the project management. It is based on a socio-political perspective and mobilizes concepts such as the North-South partnership, the Actor Network Theory (ANT), and the interaction of global and local networks. Using analytical induction and abduction strategies, the analysis yields results that include two levels of participation, from the conception to the implementation of the project, thus contributing to achieving short- and long-term development goals.
