(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Mejía Martínez, Dolka Vicenta; Ortiz Rodríguez, Catalina Isabel
The Wayuu Culture Festival, declared a National Cultural Heritage in Colombia, has been an emblematic event that has played a crucial role in preserving the cultural identity and traditions of the Wayuu people. This event has served as an act of resistance and a space to strengthen the autonomy of this indigenous community. However, since 2018, its suspension has created a significant void, affecting the transmission of traditions and social cohesion in the region. Factors such as lack of funding, security issues, and adverse climatic conditions have contributed to its interruption. This research aimed to analyze the impact of the festival’s suspension on the Wayuu community, evaluating its social and cultural effects. Additionally, it explores the role of digitalization as a tool to revitalize and ensure the sustainability of the event, with the objective of strengthening the preservation, promotion, and visibility of Wayuu traditions in a global context. Through documentary analysis and interviews focusing on the festival editions from the 20th to the 30th, a growing concern was identified regarding the future of Wayuu culture and the need for a digital solution to reactivate the festival, adapting to contemporary challenges. This study intends to propose viable digital strategies for the festival’s reactivation, contributing to the preservation of its cultural heritage and the strengthening of its autonomy.

The main findings of FED management are, the successful coordination for the operating activities in the planning process, the FED technical team who manages, creates, and assess the developing of management engagement, coverage targets and conditions. Conversely, the most relevant bottleneck was founded in the absent of human resources trained for do their job due to the political party shift in Pasco. Additionally, the public officials make mistakes becoming a barrier for achieving an efficient management. There is a complete institutional and interinstitutional coordination, which every public institution from different areas participates obtaining great social results. However, there is no evidence of NGO participation nor corporates from the private sector involved in this governance process. Referring to the beneficiaries, expectant mothers and parents show high levels of approval; meanwhile, some of them show disagreement because they believe the supply of services do not meet the high-quality standards. According to the participation of the locals, the Health Communitarian Agents (ACS based on its Spanish acronym), Communitarian Educational Promoters (PEC based on its Spanish acronym) and the Communal Organization for Sanitation Services (JASS based on its Spanish acronym) in Pasco region show engagement with their communities because they believe not only is good for their families, but also, they understand their involvement is important for the local development. To conclude, the management and the coordination should be aligned to bring high-quality services that not only benefit certain group of people under the Early Childhood Development frame, but also for the entire population due to the services are public with allpurpose features. In the same way, the management should count with contingencystrategic planning to mitigate the pandemic havoc to not restrain the planned activities. As future social mangers, we believe that the improvement for the managerial process is not only count with a national management engagements o coverage target, but it is necessary to adapt them according to each region of our country, to obtain more positive results for comprehensive human development, begins in the early childhood and continues with the general population.

There must be support from parents and/or guardians, in addition to representatives of the scholarship recipient's home towns. And, it is very important, the degree of commitment and responsibility that the scholarship recipient must have, towards himself, on a personal and professional level, but without forgetting the contribution he must generate with his community. As a general recommendation, it is indicated that the program should start from respect and intercultural treatment, including the idiosyncrasies and customs in its various decentralized offices, to strengthen the link between scholarship recipients and the educational institution and thus generate interaction with other entities. It is considered that the contribution made by this research promoted improvements in monitoring, follow-up and contribution to development in the town of the scholarship recipients.

Organizaciones sociales fuertes, sociedad civil viva : hacia el fortalecimiento de capacidades para la acción colectiva
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Cárdenas Arias, Paola Selene; Eslava Gómez, Adolfo; García Luna, Estefanía
This thesis addresses the current state and challenges of grassroots Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Medellín, focusing on the urgent need to strengthen their capacities to ensure their economic and operational sustainability and their role as agents of social change. The work is based on the premise that organized collective action is essential to counteract growing individualism and social inequality, and that CSOs are key actors in building more just and democratic societies. The research asks, with urgency and empathy, what capacities these organizations need to strengthen to not only survive but also lead processes of change. What factors weaken them? Why, despite their commitment, do they continue to be neglected? At a time when international cooperation is declining and challenges are multiplying, this work seeks answers that dignify their work and recognize their role as essential actors in the social fabric.

(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Méndez Muñoz, Francy Liliana; Echeverri Hernández, Santiago
The objective of this study is to determine, measure, and communicate the social and environmental impact of the Commercial Use of Amazonian Mushrooms Program in the indigenous community of Concordia, Guainía. This information primarily aims to strengthen transparency and trust among the stakeholders involved in the program, including funders, by providing them with a high-value informational resource for their organizations. The study will clearly reflect the impact generated in the intervened community, particularly in social and environmental aspects. On the other hand, this study will be of utmost importance to the indigenous community of Concordia, as it will provide them with a tool for decision-making, attracting new investors, and consolidating a positive image by demonstrating efficiency and responsibility in the use of acquired resources. It is expected that this document will serve as a starting point for the indigenous community of Concordia to project its future while also identifying opportunities and areas for improvement. To gather the data, the Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology will be applied to the Commercial Use of Amazonian Mushrooms Program in the indigenous community of Concordia, Guainía. It is worth highlighting that this program is in an advanced stage of implementation within the Concordia community, with plans to expand its reach with the implementation of the prototype cultivation system in other parts of the Inírida municipality. For the construction of this study, information will be taken directly from the population of the Indigenous Community of Concordia to reveal the impacts achieved during this period, thus lending dynamism and reliability to the final results. This will also expose the differential dynamics that concern work in territories with ethnic populations. It is vitally important to begin opening critical dialogues to transform the inequality gaps within communities. This will require initiatives that stem from the territory and its people, from local experiences that deserve to be replicated, as well as from experiences that were unsuccessful and should not be repeated or, if necessary, transformed. This is achieved by documenting and generating reliable information available to the general public.

Diagnóstico para la sostenibilidad empresarial : una herramienta para contribuir a la generación de valor compartido en Colombia
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Torres Gutiérrez, Juan Felipe; Álvarez Delgado, Susana
This thesis aims to develop a methodological tool to support Colombian private-sector companies in transitioning towards sustainable business models through the integration of strategies focused on creating shared value. Based on a literature review and a comparative analysis of thirteen national and international certification standards, a diagnostic questionnaire was designed comprising five key dimensions: governance and sustainable strategy, environmental management and resource efficiency, human capital and labor practices, social impact and community engagement, and innovation and shared value creation. The questionnaire enables organizations to identify their maturity level in sustainability, assess organizational strengths and gaps, and receive specific technical recommendations per dimension. The research is grounded in a robust conceptual framework that interconnects corporate social responsibility, sustainability, social enterprise, and shared value creation, demonstrating their mutual reinforcement and relevance to the Colombian business context. As a result, the study delivers a practical, flexible, and context-sensitive tool applicable to both large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises. This proposal aims to bridge the gap between sustainability discourse and its real-world implementation, contributing to the transformation of traditional business models into more inclusive, responsible, and resilient enterprises.

(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025) López Reategui, Mónica Jhoanna; Eslava Gómez, Adolfo
The present thesis aims to assess the effectiveness of the project "A Dignified Life Without Violence" by the NGO Paz y Esperanza in promoting the right to a life free from violence for women with disabilities in Lima Metropolitan Area and Callao, during the period 2019-2022. The research is justified from a social management perspective due to its relevance in a context of increased violence against women with disabilities, aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and for its contribution to strengthening the institutional and social response to this issue. The thesis is based on human rights, gender, intersectionality, and disability approaches, as well as theories on violence against women with disabilities, empowerment for the exercise of rights, strengthening of institutional capacities, and good management practices and trust, as a key factor in project management. The research employs a qualitative methodology and uses techniques such as semi-structured interviews, document review, surveys, among others. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the project in empowering women with disabilities to exercise their right to a life free from violence, through an operational model that integrates the development of technical and personal skills, and psychological well-being. Likewise, the importance of the strategies implemented during the pandemic and the advocacy actions carried out by the women leaders, which show their empowerment to generate reforms and initiatives in the defense and recognition of their rights, are highlighted. However, challenges are identified in the application of knowledge by officials of the protection system, due to the high turnover in the context of political instability that the country is experiencing.

Dependencia fiscal y capacidades institucionales : impacto financiero e institucional diferencial de las regalías petroleras en los municipios de influencia de oleoducto Ocensa S.A. (2019-2023)
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Mariño Sánchez, Nolvis; Amaya Parada, Lina Costanza; García Jaramillo, Leonardo
This article analyzes the effects of revenues from Colombia’s General System of Royalties (SGR) on institutional capacity and fiscal autonomy in 29 municipalities located within the area of influence of the OCENSA S.A. oil pipeline between 2019 and 2023. Using a mixedmethods approach with a qualitative emphasis, the study explores how dependence on extractive rents affects the planning, execution, and sustainability of local public finances. The findings reveal significant heterogeneity: while some municipalities exhibit administrative inefficiencies, fiscal fragility, and limited social transformation despite substantial royalties, others demonstrate relative progress in fiscal diversification and institutional performance. The article challenges the assumed correlation between extraordinary revenues and subnational state strengthening, arguing that the mere availability of resources does not ensure lasting improvements in governmental capacity. It concludes with policy recommendations to improve SGR allocation and oversight mechanisms, promote effective fiscal decentralization, reduce territorial disparities, and support sustainable local development.
Tensiones constitutivas en la acción organizada : el tránsito de la organización juvenil red entre montañas hacia empresa social desde el contexto rural de San Sebastián de Palmitas (Medellín)
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Tabares Molina, Daniela; Macías-Prada, John Fernando
This research analyzes the transformation process of RED entre Montañas, a rural youth organization in the town of San Sebastián de Palmitas (Medellín), in its transition from a cultural collective to a social enterprise. Through a case study with a qualitative approach, its trajectory is reconstructed and the tensions experienced in this process are interpreted. The analytical framework is based on the Theory of Organized Action (TAO), whose categories - Identity, Opposition and Totality - allow us to understand how this organization negotiates its community mission in facing institutional and market demands. The methodology combines documentary analysis of public policies, internal organizational materials and semi-structured interviews with key members. This approach made it possible to reconstruct the stages of organizational development, identifying breaking points and highlighting structural tensions that shape the transition towards hybrid forms of social and economic management. The findings show that RED entre Montañas did not passively adopt the institutional model of social enterprise but reinterpreted it from its territorial identity. The research concludes that the tensions experienced are not obstacles, but constitutive elements of an organized action that seeks to affirm its collective subjectivity. The study provides theoretical and practical tools to understand similar processes in other rural territories and invites people to rethink public policies to support youth organizations.
Propuesta formativa diplomado fortalecimiento de las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (OSC) en Colombia
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Fernández-del-Toro, Jair Leandro; Arias Montoya, Andrés Felipe
This research project aims to propose a training proposal aimed at developing and strengthening the technical, organizational, and managerial capacities of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Colombia. Recognizing the fundamental role these organizations play in promoting citizen participation, defending rights, and achieving sustainable development, the initiative seeks to address the structural and knowledge limitations that affect their performance and impact in the regions. The proposal is structured into four theoretical and practical training modules, which address key topics such as the fundamentals of CSOs, the Enabling Environment and Development Effectiveness in CSOs, the organizational model, and good practices of CSOs. Each module has been developed using a participatory approach and adapted to the Colombian context, prioritizing active learning methodologies and peer-to-peer exchange. This initiative is based on an institutional strengthening approach that recognizes the specificities of CSOs and promotes their autonomy, sustainability, and capacity for advocacy. As a result, it is expected to improve organizational effectiveness, enhance social leadership, and contribute to strengthening the country's social fabric.
El turismo, alternativa de desarrollo sostenible en el municipio de Tauramena, departamento de Casanare
(Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Machuca Machuca, Bibiana; Ávila López, Marta Cecilia; Ramírez Baracaldo, Adriana Marcela; Ocensa
This study analyzes tourism as an alternative for sustainable development in the municipality of Tauramena, Casanare, a region historically reliant on the extractive sector. Using a qualitative case study approach with a phenomenological focus, the research explored the perceptions of key stakeholders, public officials and former officials, tourist site owners, and community leaders, regarding sustainable tourism from environmental, economic, and sociocultural dimensions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the analysis was guided by Jafari’s (2005) theoretical platforms and Rosales’s (2024) sustainability principles. Findings reveal an emerging tourism dynamic driven by local actors, with strong natural and cultural assets, yet constrained by the lack of planning, formalization, and institutional coordination. Shared opportunities, tensions, and challenges were identified, leading to the design of a territorially grounded sustainable tourism proposal, focused on participatory governance, cultural identity strengthening, and system formalization. The study concludes that Tauramena holds strong potential to consolidate a sustainable tourism model if local capacities are integrated with structured public policies and intersectoral coordination.

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
