Agenda de progreso social en Antioquia : desafíos en cooperación e incidencia
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Echavarría Urrego, Claudia Marcela; Eslava Gómez, Adolfo
In this investigative internship report, academic publications are analyzed to show how social action, within a framework of cooperation and trust, generates polycentric governance for the management of common and public goods. This model is seen as viable for development in Antioquia to promote a participatory social agenda and foster shared responsibilities. The text discusses, from a media agenda perspective, how the contributions of significant local institutions create a roadmap on specific issues. It also examines both the development plans of Medellín district and the Antioquia Department to assess their focus on social matters. Additionally, interviews were conducted with key stakeholders identified to understand how to propel the social progress agenda in Antioquia. The results are presented from an academic standpoint, all under the participation framework of a capstone project by EAFIT Social and Public Value, led by Adolfo Eslava, Director of EAFIT Social; Head of the Master's Program in Social Enterprise Management for Social Innovation and Local Development; PhD in Political Studies from Universidad Externado; Master's in Economics from Universidad Nacional; and Economist from Universidad de Antioquia. The qualitative conclusions highlight that there is still a need for greater coordination and cooperation between public and private institutions in the region with the civilian population. However, common themes such as education, economic development, and health are also evident
Juntos : el poder de la solidaridad en Medellín
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Acevedo David, Erika María; Eslava Gómez, Adolfo
This research asks whether solidarity, when experienced through collective action, can generate social change in contexts marked by structural inequality, such as the city of Medellin. From a qualitative approach, we listened to the voices of community leaders, public managers and social actors who have built solidarity practices daily. Through semi-structured interviews, we explored significant experiences that reveal how solidarity is not an act of assistance or an isolated gesture, but a way of inhabiting the world with the other at the center. The work reflects on the limits between aid that dignifies and assistance that reproduces exclusions and proposes an ethical and political view of solidarity as a transforming force. What emerges is not only theory, but a living commitment to justice, tenderness and the collective.
Estrategia para la circularización de la economía circular del sector textil en el municipio de El Santuario
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Bedoya Tamayo, Paula Andrea; Mejía Dugand, Santiago
This research proposes a strategy for circularizing the economy within the textile sector of El Santuario, Antioquia. The primary objective is to enhance the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of the region. A diagnostic assessment of current textile waste management revealed a predominant linear model, which has led to negative impacts such as a reduced landfill lifespan and increased operational costs for businesses. A qualitative methodology, employing descriptive and exploratory approaches, guided the research through three phases: key stakeholder mapping, waste stream characterization, and an analysis of organizational culture. These insights facilitated the design of a strategy specifically tailored to the local context, articulating technical, cultural, and institutional actions. The proposed strategy encompasses integrated waste management, the reuse of by-products, the formalization of recyclers, the creation of inter-institutional alliances, and the promotion of an organizational culture based on sustainability principles. Furthermore, an implementation timeline, monitoring indicators, and funding sources were defined.
El liderazgo consciente impulsado desde la Gerencia Social de Comfama : una posibilidad para la creatividad social y la innovación social en las empresas antioqueñas (2022-2024)
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Aristizábal Ortiz, Guadalupe; García Duque, Camilo Ernesto
This research analyzes the impact of conscious leadership promoted by Comfama's Social Management on generating social creativity scenarios that foster social innovation in affiliated companies in Antioquia during the 2022-2024 period. In a global context characterized by volatility and uncertainty, organizations face the challenge of developing collective creative capabilities that transcend the individualistic paradigm. Through a qualitative exploratory approach and an interpretive collective case study design, the perceptions and experiences of six organizations intentionally selected for their sustained participation in Comfama's leadership programs were explored. The results show that conscious leadership acts as a catalyst for collective creative processes by fostering environments of trust, shared purpose, and diversity of perspectives. Facilitating factors were identified, such as the construction of shared meanings, validation of experimentation, and recognition of interdependence, as well as barriers related to traditional hierarchical structures and cultural resistance to paradigmatic change. This research provides an integrative conceptual framework for understanding the synergy between conscious leadership and social creativity, offering practical guidelines for organizations interested in strengthening their capacity for social innovation and contribution to local development.

Metodología para analizar el impacto social de la estrategia de prevención y mitigación por consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en los Centros de Escucha de la Alcaldía de Medellín desde 2024-2025
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Torres Correa, Laura; López Delgado, Natalia
Territorial entities routinely address social challenges to fulfill state objectives and uphold citizens' rights. In this endeavor, direct action by the entity is often unfeasible, necessitating collaboration with other actors through public contracts that encompass the planning, delegation, and oversight of contractual objectives. Typically, planning emphasizes immediate concerns—implementing national policies, complying with legal mandates, delivering outputs, and ensuring the provision of contracted services or products. However, impact evaluation is seldom integrated into the initial phases of the process, hindering the assessment of whether the inherent goals of the strategies prompting intervention have been achieved or require redirection. In the health sector, there is a significant social responsibility toward beneficiaries of strategies aimed at realizing the right to health. Interventions focused on preventing and mitigating risks and harms associated with psychoactive substance use can facilitate access to services, promote more dignified living conditions, and guarantee the enjoyment of health. Listening Centers represent a strategic initiative in this context. This research proposes a methodology for evaluating their social impact, as implemented by the Medellín Health Secretariat.
Desarrollo de una metodología de evaluación de desempeño para los trabajadores de Cámara de Comercio de Montería
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Castellanos Ávila, Juliana; Villamizar Reyes, Milena Margarita
The present study aimed to design a performance evaluation methodology tailored to the structural, functional, and human particularities of the Chamber of Commerce of Montería, based on a deep understanding of the organization's internal dynamics. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, focused on interpreting the experiences, meanings, and practices of institutional actors regarding the existing evaluation processes. The significance of the study lies in addressing the limitations of the traditional evaluation model, which showed weak alignment with organizational strategy, limited formative capacity, and low appropriation by staff. A descriptive and exploratory research design was adopted, grounded in the interpretative paradigm and the instrumental case study method. Data collection techniques included document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and a focus group, which enabled the gathering of meaningful testimonies and the development of a comprehensive perspective on performance evaluation within the organization. The findings revealed that the organization is undergoing a transition toward a competency-based model, which has not yet been fully consolidated or normatively defined. Additionally, deficiencies were identified in the contextualization of indicators, low employee participation in the evaluation process, and weak integration with strategic planning. Despite these weaknesses, positive effects on motivation and performance were observed when evaluation practices incorporated structured elements and feedback mechanisms. The study concludes that performance evaluation should be regarded as a key component of organizational culture. It proposes a methodology centered on a competency-based approach, active participation of employees, continuous feedback, ongoing improvement, and the use of digital tools, aiming to strengthen human talent management and contribute to achieving institutional objectives.

El rol de la alianza Juntémonos por Cartagena en la promoción de empresas sociales para la superación de la pobreza
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Garzón Blanco, Susana Patricia; Ramírez Gómez, Mauricio Andrés
Factores que contribuyen o limitan el acceso a las familias a los Bonos Familiares Habitacionales en la modalidad de construcción en sitio propio, en el marco de la implementación del Programa de Vivienda Techo Propio en el distrito de Chilca, provincia de Cañete, Lima, Perú; en el periodo 2015 - 2019 : análisis de caso de beneficiarios
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Erazo Palacios, Eddy; Eslava Gómez, Adolfo
The experience of the Techo Propio social housing program, in its Own Site Construction modality, implemented in the Chilca district, Cañete province, Lima Region, Perú; It becomes relevant to the extent that, through the Housing Family Bonus, it seeks to contribute to the fact that vulnerable families with housing deficits in the district, which according to the last INEI Census 2017 reach 2,046 families, can obtain decent and safe housing ; and manage to improve the quality of life of their families. However, in 5 years of intervention of the housing program in this locality, it has only been possible to award around 40 Family Housing Bonds (BFH) in the Construction of Own Site (CSP) modality. Due to this particular situation, this research has been initiated. To do this, our main objective of the study was outlined towards the identification of the factors that would be contributing or limiting the access to the housing subsidy, in the beneficiaries of the Chilca district, during the period of the investigation. Likewise, it answers questions about the articulation between the relevant actors, the identification of the expectations and limitations of access to the benefit, and finally the successes and mistakes that some distortions generated in the implementation of the social housing program. The study focuses on the beneficiaries linked to the Own Roof Program in its CSP modality. The form of applied research is the case study and it has been developed according to the guidelines of qualitative research. The research is related to the concept of human development and has been oriented from an approach of the exercise of law and the search for well-being through obtaining decent housing. The vehicle is the state subsidized social housing program through the award of housing bonds; in an attempt to generate social value by meeting livability needs and solving housing deficit problems. The results found have allowed us to deduce that there would be various factors, including operational, sanitation, satisfaction and use, that would be limiting the correct implementation of the social housing program in the Chilca district. One of the most important factors that would be limiting the operation of the program is the one related to the disarticulation that exists mainly between the Technical Entity, as a private operator of the Own Roof Housing Program, which administers the subsidy; and the District Municipality, as the entity that grants permits and supervises the correct technical procedure for the construction of the subsidized housing module. This particular situation has had a direct impact on the expected results of the described intervention. In this sense, this research seeks to contribute with a social analysis tool to face the development challenges that social management studies; such as endogenous development and local economic development where it is not only linked to the improvement of the quality of life but also with the territorial development of the analyzed space.
Guía de caracterización y orientaciones para la gestión de cooperación internacional para organizaciones sociales de segundo piso
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Mejía Velásquez, Luisa Fernanda; Botero Mora, Ana María
This document presents a guide for characterizing and managing international cooperation aimed at second-tier social organizations in Colombia. Its objective is to guide these organizations in identifying and managing international resources to contribute to territorial development. International Cooperation has been transformed and reinforced by multilateral initiatives such as the Istanbul Principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and has evolved to increasingly involve organized civil society, the private sector, and communities. In Colombia, cooperation has reached record numbers, although it faces challenges due to its classification as an upper-middle-income country and decisive foreign policy changes in traditionally cooperating states, which could reduce official assistance. The guide aims to help second-tier social organizations manage international resources by describing international cooperation guidelines and offering alternatives for resource management. Understanding that, due to their second-tier nature, management should not necessarily focus on specific funding searches but rather on a proactive organizational process of building valuable relationships with cooperating organizations, both official and non-official, with which common purposes are shared, and joint contributions are made to initiatives that maximize impact on territorial development and contribute to reducing inequalities
El Fact-Checking y la desinformación política en redes sociales durante los períodos electorales en Colombia
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Serna Cano, Elizabeth; Gándara Guerra, Nerea
This research paper analyzes the role of fact-checking platforms in the detection and mitigation of political disinformation in social networks during electoral periods in Colombia. Based on a mixed approach, quantitative (survey to 121 citizens) and qualitative (in-depth interviews to three experts) techniques were combined to obtain a comprehensive view of the phenomenon. The results show that disinformation reaches its greatest intensity in electoral contexts, where sophisticated tactics are deployed that include images, audios and videos generated by artificial intelligence, as well as the strategic use of memes and humor to manipulate perceptions and polarize public opinion. Fact-checking platforms play an important role in the verification of information, although their scope and response capacity are insufficient in the face of the speed and magnitude of the spread of disinformation. It highlights the need to strengthen media and political literacy from basic education, as well as to implement regulations that promote algorithmic transparency without infringing on freedom of expression. The research concludes that the phenomenon of political disinformation represents a structural challenge for Colombian democracy, which requires a comprehensive and articulated response between civil society, the media, digital platforms and the State.

La percepción de bienestar de las mujeres caficultoras antioqueñas : desafíos y oportunidades para el sector privado
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Díaz Calle, Andrea; García Luna, Estefanía
Coffee farming in Antioquia is a key sector for the local economy and culture, yet women coffee farmers still face significant challenges regarding economic empowerment and household well-being. This study examines the perception of well-being among women coffee farmers in southwestern Antioquia, identifying barriers and opportunities for their development. Using a mixed-methods approach based on surveys, the research evaluates key dimensions such as access to productive resources, economic decision-making, and the distribution of household responsibilities. The findings reveal that, although most women own their land, they face limitations in accessing credit, technology, and technical training. Additionally, the burden of domestic and productive work restricts their participation in decision-making and training opportunities. The study concludes that the private sector can play a key role in improving the well-being of these women by promoting inclusive financing strategies, specialized training, and measures to reduce gender inequalities in coffee farming.

Factores que influyen en la conformación de organizaciones de la sociedad civil lideradas por población migrante proveniente de Venezuela, en respuesta a la situación humanitaria de la migración venezolana en las ciudades de Cartagena y Barranquilla
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Bernett Zurita, Carlos José; Araque, Lenis Yelin
The research compares the factors influencing the formation of CSOs led by Venezuelan migrants in Cartagena and Barranquilla, Colombia. Using a qualitative methodology based on a multiple case study, it analyzes the differences in the emergence of these organizations in both cities. The study defines CSOs as organized, voluntary, and private entities whose purpose is to promote social change. Their formation may be determined, on the one hand, by territorial dynamics, which include urban conditions, the role of public institutions, the presence of NGOs, and the family and community networks of CSOs. On the other hand, the humanitarian situation of Venezuelan migration also exerts a significant influence.
