    In Colombia, the Political Constitution of 1991, under Article 311, establishes that “municipalities are the fundamental entities of the State’s political-administrative division; they are responsible for providing the public services determined by law, building the projects required for local progress, and managing territorial development…” (Republic of Colombia, 1991). This framework creates significant administrative, financial, and political challenges for municipalities as they strive to promote and carry out their various initiatives. The dynamics and needs of each municipality are unique, and every elected government seeks to contribute to the common good. However, municipal budgets are not sufficient to cover the needs of all residents—Amagá is no exception. According to DANE, the municipality reported a multidimensional poverty rate of 22.9% in 2024 (DANE, 2025). Currently, Amagá faces a critical challenge in road infrastructure, particularly due to the absence of a ground transportation terminal that could bring together all public transportation companies. At present, these operators carry out their activities in the town’s main square, resulting in the loss of public space and creating ongoing risks for all road users. In this context, one proposed solution is the construction of a ground transportation terminal in Amagá financed through a public-private partnership (PPP), which “is a mechanism that allows the private sector to participate in providing public goods and services linked to infrastructure” (DNP, 2013). The development of this strategic project would not only improve mobility and road safety but also drive the municipality’s economic growth.
