El estudio propone una temática relevante para los formuladores y ejecutores de las políticas sociales, basado en un análisis crítico de los elementos centrales de las políticas de lucha contra la pobreza identificando los límites y la insuficiencia de los mismos para superar la pobreza estructuralmente, particularizando en el entramado conceptual que soporta dichas formulaciones en una perspectiva técnica. Adicional, la revisión de los planteamientos y recomendaciones de los organismos multilaterales e internacionales sobre la pobreza, centrados en la pobreza como un fenómeno multidimensional, posicionan al crecimiento económico y a las políticas de corte asistencialista e individualizantes, como las alternativas de solución que determinan los matices de los programas y proyectos sociales actuales, frente a las apuestas redistributivas que se desplazan a un segundo lugar. Los conceptos heterodoxos sobre la pobreza retomados en el documento, buscan problematizar las formas mediante las cuales se hace la lucha contra la pobreza, centrándose en la crítica al posicionamiento de la ciudadanía invertida y la captura del discurso alternativo por el dominante, para legitimar las acciones del Estado. El acercamiento a la medición de la pobreza plantea la existencia de un concepto teórico - ideológico de la pobreza previo, determinando círculos viciosos entre los resultados alcanzados y las políticas formuladas. Finalmente el abordaje al caso colombiano, para contrastar la influencia conceptual de la pobreza en los diferentes dispositivos de política que han sido implementados entre 2002 y 2010, revisa algunos arreglos institucionales que han generado los débiles resultados en la lucha contra la pobreza.The study proposes a relevant subject for those who formulate and execute social politics, based on a critical analysis of the central elements of the politics to fight poverty identifying limits and the failure of them to overcome structurally the poverty, distinguishing in the conceptual framework that supports these formulations from a technical perspective. In addition, the review of approaches and recommendations of multilateral and international agencies about poverty, (focused on this concept as a multidimensional phenomenon) locate the economic growth and welfare and individualized policies as the alternatives that determine the nuances of the actual social programmes and projects, faced up to the redistributive bets that move to a second place. Heterodox concepts about poverty included in the document, try to problematize the ways through which is made the fight against poverty, focusing on the criticism of the positioning of the inverted citizenship and the capture of alternative discourse by the dominant, to legitimize the actions of the State. The approach to the measurement of poverty raises the existence of a previous theoretical- ideological concept of poverty determining vicious cycles between the results achieved and the policies formulated. Finally the approach to the Colombian case, contrasting the conceptual influence of poverty in different politic mechanisms have been implemented between 2002 and 2010, reviews some institutional arrangements that have generated weak results in the fight against poverty.

Corporate Governance Country Assessment : ColombiaWorld Bank (Washington DC, 2013-07-25)This report assesses the corporate governance policy framework, enforcement and compliance practices in Colombia. The capital markets are small relative to the economy and trading volume is low. The corporate sector is largely owned and controlled by family groups and conglomerates. The challenge is to create an environment where medium-sized companies can raise capital in the market and help them make the transition from tightly-controlled family firms to public companies. While pension funds represent a large and rapidly growing source of funds, they are reluctant to invest in equities. It has been demonstrated across countries that capital market development correlates positively with the degree of shareholder protection and good corporate governance. Awareness of the importance of corporate governance issues is growing. Success stories of privatizations linked with good corporate governance highlight the importance of the issue. Colombia is an interesting example of the interplay between legal changes and voluntary initiatives based on the incentive to attract capital. It has put a minimum corporate governance disclosure regime in place for companies that wish to be eligible for pension fund investments. The report makes policy recommendations that may be grouped under three broad headings: legislative reform, institutional strengthening and voluntary/private initiatives. The report recommends (1) adopting a securities bill as proposed by the securities regulator Supevalores; (2) adopting international standards and creating an independent audit oversight board; (3) improving enforcement; (4) enhancing compliance monitoring with the code of good governance; and (5) creating a director training organization.

Colombia 2006-2010 : A Window of OpportunityWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2014-08-25)This document presents the recently elected Colombian administration with a set of policy notes meant to enrich the debate around critical issues affecting the country's development. These notes build mostly upon existing research and represent the Bank's independent view on topics which are either at the crux of ongoing policy discussions or merit a more prominent place in this dialogue. This window of opportunity provides a very favorable setting for advancing aggressive interventions to further alleviate poverty and inequality. Even as a country with a long history of solid growth and stable democratic institutions, poverty remains a critical issue for Colombia. Years of consistent economic growth throughout the 1980s and early 1990s lifted many out of poverty, but the macroeconomic crisis at the end of the 1990s eradicated more than a decade of progress. The notes have been grouped around four strategic issues: challenges and constraints for the reform process, investing in people, laying the foundations for competitiveness, and reducing vulnerabilities. To this end, a national strategy for comprehensive peace, reconciliation and equitable development needs to be strengthened with the following elements: (i) a continued national level effort to create incentives for the demobilization of illegal armed groups, (ii) attention to the internally displaced population, who are the most visible and numerous victims of the conflict, (iii) mainstreaming inequality reduction interventions into key sectors, and (iv) local and regional community-led economic development and social capital building plans, inclusive of vulnerable and demobilized populations, all of which would contribute to prevent the recurrence of the armed conflict.

Colombia - Peace Programmatic I : Demobilization and Reinsertion of Ex-Combatants in ColombiaWorld Bank (Washington, DC, 2008-03)This report presents the results of the study on the demobilization and reinsertion of excombatants from illegal armed groups in Colombia. The report describes and analyzes the Colombian case, compares it with international experience, discusses critical issues of the current program, and presents options to improve its design and implementation. The study responds to a request by the Colombian government to conduct an assessment of the previous and current approaches to demobilization and reinsertion in Colombia and, in light of national and international experience, to present options to improve the program. This study relied principally on secondary data and information from existing studies, essays, and press articles produced by government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, United Nations and bilateral agencies, specialized analysts, and media. The analysis also used primary information collected for the study, including: (1) information from interviews with government and non-government sources about the current condition of individuals demobilized during the 1990s; (2) the profiles of a sample of young excombatants (18-26 years old) enrolled in the current reinsertion program in Medellin and Bogota; (3) the assessment of the demobilization and reinsertion experience of the 1990s as viewed by leaders of existing foundations from four of the demobilized groups; and (4) a special work session held with 50 representatives from diverse private-sector associations and businesses. This study assesses Colombia's experience using a framework of five interwoven phases from armed conflict to peace: prevention, demobilization, reinsertion, reintegration, and reconciliation. This framework together with accumulated national and international best practices in technical aspects of the operations of disarmament, demobilization, and reinsertion (DDR) programs are used in the analysis of the current Program of Demobilization and Reinsertion (PDR).
