Publicación Escenarios de la paz urbana en Medellín como política pública con la presencia o ausencia de las economías populares : caso de estudio sindicato familia de la calle, comuna 4, Aranjuez(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-28) Coral Aristizábal, Manuel Alejandro; Maya Salazar, Adolfo LeónPublicación Entre el diseño y el territorio : implementación del mecanismo Obras por Impuestos en municipios PDET y ZOMAC de Antioquia (2020-2025)(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-20) Acosta Álvarez, Daniel; Parra Morales, Juan Carlos; Ramos Villa, María EugeniaThis study analyzes the existence of institutional gaps, territorial tensions, and the disconnect between regulatory design and its application in contexts of low territorial governance, within the framework of the implementation process of the Works for Taxes model, in relation to the socioeconomic and institutional conditions in the PDET and ZOMAC municipalities in the department of Antioquia between 2020 and 2025. To this end, the institutional characteristics of the implementation process of said model, defined within the Colombian regulatory and jurisprudential framework, are identified; in turn, the socio-economic conditions, institutional capacities, and intergovernmental dynamics that influence the implementation of the mechanism in prioritized municipalities in the department of Antioquia during the aforementioned period are described; likewise, the governance, articulation, and participation factors in multi-stakeholder relationships that explain the results of the mechanism in contexts of institutional vulnerability in the department are identified; Finally, public policy recommendations are proposed to strengthen the redistributive capacity of the Works for Taxes mechanism as a hybrid fiscal instrument.Publicación Aprovechamiento económico del espacio público : propuesta de estrategias municipales para impulsar la formalización comercial de los micronegocios en el polígono comercial del parque principal del municipio de Girardota, Antioquia(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-20) Rojas Castro, Diego Mauricio; Ramos Villa, María EugeniaPublicación Curaduría cero, notaria cero : barreras en la implementación de La Ley 1848 de 2017 y sus efectos en la formalización predial en Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-15) Ruiz Martínez, David; Amaya Osorio, LucidiaIn Colombia, property informality limits access to public services, financing, and legal security. Law 1848 of 2017 sought to remove economic and technical barriers through figures such as Curaduría Cero and Notaría Cero for the recognition of the existence of buildings, especially in social interest housing and legalized settlements. This paper analyzes the implementation of this law in the District of Medellín between 2019 and 2024, a period in which District Decree 604 of 2019 assigned ISVIMED the function of processing recognition acts. Based on a case study with a qualitative approach, normative review (Law 9/1989, Law 388/1997, Law 1848/2017, Law 2079/2021, POT–Agreement 048 of 2014/2015 and local regulations), documentary analysis of official reports and operational guidelines, and semi-structured interviews with key actors (ISVIMED, curadurías, planning, cadastre and notaries) are combined. The analysis is organized into five dimensions: (i) clarity and scope of the instrument, (ii) institutional capacity, (iii) interinstitutional coordination, (iv) user costs and requirements, and (v) dissemination and access. An "implementation gap" associated with regulatory ambiguities, territorial restrictions, and limited capacity is expected to be identified. Based on the findings, regulatory and management recommendations are formulated to improve the effectiveness and territorial equity of property formalization in Medellín.Publicación Girardota Productiva : hacia una formalización progresiva con retorno empresarial(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-21) Saldarriaga Ayala, Joan Esteban; Ayala Seguro, Harold Andrés; Vieira Silva, Juan GuillermoPublicación Gobernanza colaborativa en la resocialización penitenciaria : fortalezas y retos en el caso de la articulación entre la fundación acción interna y el Inpec en los establecimientos de Medellín(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-19) Betancur Montoya, Juliana; Cano Blandón, Luisa FernandaÍtem Impacto de los lineamientos nacionales para la gestión integral de la desnutrición en la mortalidad en menores de 5 años en Antioquia 2020-2023(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-22) Prado Chávez, Yury Andrea; García Jaramillo, LeonardoThe United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are emphatic in demanding that all countries mitigate hunger and child malnutrition. Poor nutrition, whether due to excess or defect, results not only in generating physical problems but also in cognitive development, especially when they occur in the first five years of life. A society that directly or indirectly prevents the physical or intellectual growth and development of citizens is threatening its own subsistence. The goals for each SDG imply joint action from the Nation and the territory for their implementation. In Colombia, within Objective 2: Zero Hunger, the goal is to reduce the mortality rate due to malnutrition from 6.8 (per 100,000 boys and girls under 5 years of age) in 2018, to less than 5.0 in 2030 (DNP, 2018). . To this end, it has regulated the right to health defined by Statutory Law 1751 of 2015 through guidelines, such as Resolution 2350 of 2020.Publicación Implementación de los Planes Integrales de Vida en la política pública indígena de Medellín : análisis del PIV Chibcariwak(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-27) López Acosta, Abdul Esteingle; Ramírez Baracaldo, Adriana MarcelaThe objective of this work is to identify the implementation of the Planes de Vida Integral (PIV) in the Municipal Planning System within the framework of the Public Policy for the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples residing in the Municipality of Medellín. The analysis is carried out through the verification of the inclusion of actions declared in the PIV for the fulfillment of the guarantee of respect for their cultural practices, worldviews and needs, and in the way in which, in these actions, their forms of social organization and access to natural resources in the territory are integrated. Hence the importance of opting for a qualitative methodology through documentary review, with a descriptive scope based on the search for information in institutional repositories of the municipal administration to know the Planes de Vida Integral of the towns settled in the territory of Medellín and the documents that specify the Municipal Planning System. Thus, this research is relevant due to the commitment of society and especially of the Colombian State, on the vindication and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples, especially since these rights continue to be violated and constitutional mandates are ignored in which the recognition and respect for indigenous peoples is ordered.Publicación La gobernanza colaborativa como herramienta para fortalecer la gestión municipal de emergencias : un estudio de caso en Sabaneta, Antioquia(Universidad EAFIT, 2026-05-20) González González, Yudy Ydali; García Jaramillo, LeonardoThis paper analyzes collaborative governance as an approach to strengthen municipal emergency management in Colombia, based on a case study of the landslide and extreme rainfall that occurred in Sabaneta (Antioquia) on May 8, 2025. The national context reveals a high exposure to hydrometeorological and geological hazards, and although Law 1523 of 2012 promotes comprehensive and multi-hazard management, implementation gaps persist, leading to fragmented and reactive responses at the local level. Using a qualitative design based on a documentary review of regulations, territorial plans, technical reports, and specialized literature, the research employs Ansell and Gash's cyclical model and Emerson, Nabatchi, and Balogh's integrative framework as analytical lenses to examine initial conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, process dynamics, and resilience outcomes. The case highlights resource and capacity asymmetries, staff turnover, and administrative silos that hinder inter-institutional coordination, as well as community distrust that limits genuine participation and the sustainability of measures. While response protocols were activated (Unified Command Post, evacuations, shelters, aid, and mitigation works), these small triumphs are not consolidated without clear rules for transparency, access to information, and accountability. It is concluded that collaborative governance can facilitate the transition from response to proactive resilience if stable coordination spaces are institutionalized, municipal technical capacities are strengthened, and facilitative leadership is promoted, aimed at rebuilding trust and territorial co-responsibility.Publicación Los instrumentos de gobierno para la educación con enfoque de género en Medellín : un análisis de los planes de desarrollo del periodo 2016 a 2026(Universidad EAFIT, 2026) Cataño Buritica, Joshua; Ramírez Brouchoud, María FernandaPublicación Cuando medir deja de servir : el dilema de las mediciones de desempeño en el Chocó(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Lozano Palacios, María Alejandra; Cardona Atehortua, Laura Victoria; Leyva Botero, Santiago; Rada Bedoya, MarolyPublicación Incidencia de los recursos del Sistema General de Regalías en las provincias administrativas y de planificación de Antioquia entre 2020 y 2024 : una revisión de su estructura organizacional, procesos de planeación y proyectos financiados(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Posada Cardona, María Paula; Valencia Bedoya, Carlos Andrés; Ramos Villa, María EugeniaThis research evaluates the impact of the General System of Royalties (SGR) on five Administrative and Planning Provinces (PAP), Territorial Associative Schemes (EAT) in Antioquia, during the period 2020–2024: Cartama Province; Penderisco and Sinifaná Province; San Juan Province; Minero-Agroecological Province; and La Paz Province. Using a qualitative-interpretive approach that emphasizes territorial-institutional reflection, the study examines three core dimensions within the Provinces: their organizational structure, planning processes, and the types of projects financed with royalties. The findings will determine whether the SGR has strengthened municipal capacities for coordination and articulation, or whether it has confined them to operational and resource-management functions. The hypothesis argues that, although the SGR has expanded territorial financing opportunities, its implementation in Antioquia has not favored the PAPs nor significantly advanced their role as joint planning platforms, as originally envisioned in their institutional design. This study contributes to the debate on effective decentralization, territorial equity, and the strengthening of interjurisdictional collaboration in Colombia.Publicación Ley antimafia en Colombia : condiciones para su implementación legítima entre la eficacia y las garantías constitucionales(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Parra Heredia, Héctor Andrés; Zuluaga Mora, José Miguel; García Jaramillo, LeonardoThis study examines the feasibility of implementing a specialized anti-mafia law in Colombia to address organized crime in a more structural and effective manner. Using a qualitative approach that combines documentary analysis, a comparative study of international models, and interviews with judicial officers, the research evaluates the need for, viability of, and conditions for the legitimate implementation of such a law. Analysis of the Colombian context reveals that criminal organizations exert forms of territorial control that extend beyond the commission of individual crimes, creating "counter-institutions" that compete with state authority. The current legal framework presents significant structural limitations, including a dispersion of criminal law tools, problems with inter-institutional coordination, and a predominantly punitive approach that neglects the economic dimension of organized crime. International evidence provides valuable lessons. The Italian and American experiences demonstrate that well-designed anti-mafia legislation can generate measurable impacts on the territorial control and operational capacity of criminal organizations. However, the evidence also warns of significant risks: discriminatory application, uncontrolled expansion of exceptional measures, and significant systemic costs for the justice system. The concept of enemy criminal law provides a conceptual framework for understanding the possibilities and risks of exceptional measures against organized crime. The conclusion is nuanced: an anti-mafia law could be relevant for Colombia if it is designed and implemented under specific conditions that balance operational effectiveness with the preservation of fundamental constitutional guarantees. Recommendations include phased implementation, targeted territorial pilot programs, priority institutional investment, independent oversight mechanisms, and integration with a comprehensive prevention strategy and institutional strengthening. Ultimately, organized crime is combated with better institutions, not worse laws. An anti-mafia law will only be relevant if it builds robust institutional capacities, generates demonstrable impacts, maintains its exceptional nature, and rigorously preserves the constitutional guarantees that underpin the democratic legitimacy of the justice system.Publicación Del discurso descentralizador a la práctica centralista : efectos del centralismo en la institucionalidad local de Andes e Hispania(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Jaramillo Restrepo, Juan David; Maya Salazar, Adolfo LeónThis research paper analyzes how political, administrative, and fiscal centralism has affected institutional performance and the quality of democracy in the municipalities of Andes and Hispania, located in the southwestern subregion of Antioquia. Based on a review of the literature and a comparison of institutional and fiscal indicators, it seeks to understand how the centralist structures of the Colombian state have deepened territorial gaps in local public management. Historically, centralism in Colombia was consolidated as a result of a state formation process that concentrated political, administrative, and financial decisions at the national level, limiting territorial autonomy. Although the 1991 Constitution established a decentralized model, its implementation has revealed a permanent tension between centralization and decentralization, which has led to unequal institutional capacities among municipalities. The analysis is based on the theoretical contributions of Mauricio García Villegas, who argues that institutional disparities arise from the weakness of the state in the regions, and complements this perspective with Charles Tilly's reflections on state formation and territorial inequalities, as well as Julián López Murcia's contemporary debates on recentralization processes. Methodologically, a documentary and comparative review is carried out based on data from the Institutional and Fiscal Performance Index (DNP), reports from the Decentralization Mission, and official sources such as DANE, the General Participation System (SGP), and the General Royalties System (SGR). The study adopts an analytical-descriptive approach that allows us to identify how financial dependence and limited fiscal autonomy affect management capacity, participatory planning, and local democratic governance. It is based on the hypothesis that centralism has deepened the institutional performance gaps between the Andes and Hispania, reproducing a pattern of inequality that restricts the effective exercise of local autonomy. The findings aim to contribute to the understanding of centralism as a structural phenomenon of the Colombian State and to offer inputs for institutional strengthening and territorial equity within the framework of public decentralization policy.Publicación Decisiones públicas en las juntas de acción comunal : la experiencia de la JAC Los González, de la comuna 14 – el Poblado, en la planeación local y presupuesto participativo (Medellín, 2021–2024)(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Mesa Cardeño, Sebastián; Ramos Villa, María EugeniaPublicación Asociaciones de municipios y gobernanza colaborativa : aportes a la priorización y definición de los problemas públicos para el bienestar social(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Cano Sanabria, María Manuela; Ramos Villa, María EugeniaPublicación Metodología participativa para los jóvenes rurales de Colombia : una propuesta de participación e inclusión para la definición del problema en las políticas públicas poblacionales que son desarrolladas desde el enfoque top-down(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Acosta Urzola, Lourdes Elena; Carreño Eslava, Pablo Alexis; González Malabet, María AuxiliadoraThe purpose of this study is to design an inclusive methodology that enables the participation of rural youth in defining the public problem as the initial phase of the public policy cycle, specifically for those policies formulated from a top-down approach. To achieve this, a methodological design based on a qualitative approach with an exploratory-descriptive scope is proposed, as it allows for the identification of variables, experiences, perceptions, and practices related to the use of participatory methodologies in defining a public problem as the initial phase of the public policy cycle. As information-gathering techniques, documentary review will be considered and systematized through reading cards. As a result of this research process, it was found that population public policies designed from the top-down approach require practical and useful tools—such as participatory methodologies from an inclusive perspective—to achieve synergy between the State, as the decision-maker, and the participation of the population as a key factor in contextualizing the specific needs of the community. This is particularly relevant considering that, in Colombia, efforts have been made to incorporate participatory methodologies for rural youth; however, several structural, institutional, contextual, and inclusion-related barriers and gaps have hindered their success, contributing to the weakening of participation.Publicación Relación entre el estado nutricional y la construcción de identidad de las mujeres excombatientes de las Farc, ubicadas en el Valle del Aburrá después de la firma de los acuerdos de paz del 2016(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Tobón Mejía, Laura; Correa Montoya, Jorge Mario; Duncan Cruz, GustavoThe armed conflict in Colombia has been one of the longest in Latin America, with more than six decades of violence rooted in social inequality, the struggle for land, and ideological disputes. In this context, women have been victims, targets of violence, and also protagonists in the country's history. The sum of these events has significantly impacted the construction of their identity, both from their own perspective and from the viewpoint of society. Identity, understood as the result of a social exchange influenced by internalized norms, roles, and status, is affected by multiple factors; among them, nutritional status, which plays a fundamental role, as it affects physical and mental well-being, as well as influencing self-perception and social integration. In the 2005 and 2016 peace processes, the Colombian State declared women as subjects of special protection, categorizing them within a differential approach and acknowledging that the historical gap of discrimination against them must be closed. This research sought to analyze the relationship between nutritional status and identity construction in female ex-combatants in the process of reintegration after the signing of the 2016 peace agreements, in order to understand how these factors influence their adaptation to civilian life and their self-perception within society.Publicación Innovación en la gestión financiera territorial : colaboración entre tesorería y entidades financieras para generar valor público en Envigado(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Peláez González, Daniela; Ramos Villa, Maria EugeniaTraditionally, the financial management of territorial treasuries has been viewed as an operational task focused on managing cash flows and meeting obligations. Under this model, the relationship with financial institutions is limited to basic transactions, overlooking the strategic potential of deeper collaboration. This restrictive view not only prevents the optimization of public resources but also disconnects financial management from its ultimate goal: contributing to the creation of public value. In the current context marked by greater citizen demands, fiscal pressures, and the need to modernize the public sector, an opportunity arises to redefine the role of territorial treasuries as strategic actors in local development. This thesis explores how such a transformation can be achieved through effective and reciprocal coordination with the financial system, moving beyond a transactional logic to build collaborative relationships that generate mutual and sustainable benefits. Through a case study of the Municipality of Envigado, this research documents an experience of innovation in public financial management, demonstrating how a treasury with operational autonomy, technical leadership, and strategic vision can optimize the use of resources, increase the profitability of surpluses, and most importantly, generate tangible public value. Reciprocity schemes with financial institutions not only enabled economic efficiencies but also led to direct social investments, such as mental health programs, support for the elderly, infrastructure modernization, and institutional strengthening. From this perspective, territorial financial management, when approached strategically and through interinstitutional collaboration, transcends its operational role to become a structural axis of local development. The experience of Envigado represents a replicable model for other entities interested in modernizing their treasuries, strengthening ties with the financial system, and moving toward more efficient, transparent, and innovative management, with high potential for social impact and public value creation.Publicación Políticas públicas municipales de juventudes. Caso comparado análisis de financiación en municipios de sexta categoría : Buriticá y Cisneros(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Cardona Aguilar, Juan Sebastián; Franco Vargas, María HelenaColombia establishes itself as a "social state of law" in its 1991 Constitution, in which municipalities enjoy fiscal and administrative autonomy. However, this autonomy is affected by the dependence on central resources when implementing public policies, such as those aimed at young people. The main topic of this thesis is to compare Buriticá and Cisneros, which, besides being both sixth-category municipalities, have similar youth public policies. Nevertheless, they differ in the size of their budgets. In addition, the lack of institutional and financial capacity in sixth-category municipalities limits the effectiveness of their public policies. This thesis seeks to demonstrate, through comparative analysis, that this type of municipality has a low budgetary capacity to implement their public youth policies. The methodology consists of evaluating budget execution for the years 2019-2023, to analyze whether compliance with these policies results from mainstreaming in development plans or from directly financing projected actions. The theoretical framework highlights the stigmatization of youth due to historical conflicts in Colombia. The scarce resources in sixth-category municipalities, despite the General System of Participations, pose a challenge to the effectiveness of public policies. The methodology integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches and uses financial data and technical documents to provide a diagnosis of institutional and budgetary limitations regarding the implementation of public policies in Buriticá and Cisneros.
