  • ESRS Ituango Hydroelectric Project
    ESRS Ituango Hydroelectric Project 1. General Information on the Scope of the IIC's Environmental and Social Review Summary Empresas Públicas de Medellín E.S.P. (Public Enterprises of Medellin, hereafter "EPM" or the "Company") is classified under Colombian law as a public industrial and commercial company that provides water and sanitation utilities; provides a natural gas network; and generates, transmits, distributes and sells energy. In the hydropower sector, EPM is a previous customer of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDBG), with whom a relationship has been maintained since 1993 when operation CO0221 was approved to partially finance the PORCE II Hydroelectric Project. Subsequently, in 2005, operation CO-L1005 was approved to partially finance the PORCE III project. EPM, jointly with the Department of Antioquia, is developing the Ituango Hydroelectric Project (hereafter "Ituango", "IHP" or "the Project"), which is located in the northwest of the Department of Antioquia on the Cauca River, approximately 170 km from the city of Medellín. The Project will have an installed capacity of 2,400 MW, which will allow it to generate approximately 14,040 GWh per year. The Project's first phase, which includes the enabling of four turbines (to reach a capacity of 1,200 MW), is scheduled to be finalized in 2019. The second phase includes bringing the four remaining turbines into operation (to reach 2,400 MW), and will be finalized in 2022. EPM holds the concession for construction of the Project and to operate it for 50 years. The Project's total investment is estimated at approximately COP$11,400,000 million Colombian pesos (equivalent to USD$3.899 billion U.S.

  • Colombian Political Actors and the Challenge of Peacebuilding
    nº 20 - APRIL 2014 COLOMBIA AFTER VIOLENT CONFLICT IN DEPTH Colombian political actors and the challenge of peacebuilding Rafael Grasa President of the International Catalan Institute for Peace The following reflections are based on two paradoxical observations. On the one hand, a structural tendency exists in Colombia toward the intergenerational reproduction of political violence, which is linked to a system of governance that reproduces and amplifies inequality, with a key role for political and territorial elites (in the capitals and the regions). This tendency, in addition, is closely tied to the dysfunctional or- ganisation of Colombian society. Authors such as James Robinson have accurately suggested that Colombia’s problems, beginning with the violence, are rooted in the perpetuation of an anachronistic system of indirect governance characteristic of Eu- rope’s imperial powers. Remember, urban elites, in our case in Bogota, delegate the effective functioning of rural and peripheral areas to local elites through a system of mutually beneficial reciprocity. It is a broad and generous delegation: whoever wants to can govern and have representation in the Congress in exchange for a quid pro quo that guarantees their political support and acceptance without challenge for the general rules of the game of the national and capital elites. It results in a combination of an essentially strong centralism and the “de-localisation” of the management of the territories. This manner of governing the country, according to Robinson’s thesis, is the cause of almost all Colombia’s problems, and generates the chaos and illegality that exacerbates other problems. Beyond the academic debate over why such a chao- tic and dysfunctional system has been perpetuated and become stable, it is clear that the political system, and in particular, the party system, is based on this.

Individuals of the new species are readily separated in the field or the museum from those of any other wren species, including its closest relatives T. rufalbus and T. nicefori, by a combination of traits including, but not limited to, plumage coloration of the upperparts, the pattern of barring on the wings and tail, overall smaller body size, a richer repertoire of syllable types, shorter trills, and distinctive terminal syllables. The new species is allopatrically distributed in relation to its congeners, being restricted to the dry Cauca River Canyon, a narrow inter-Andean valley enclosed by the Nechí Refuge rainforests and the northern sectors of the Western and Central Andes of Colombia. Individuals or pairs have been found only in remnant patches of dry forest and scrub at 250– 850 m elevation.

    La malaria en Colombia, Antioquia y las zonas de Urabá y Bajo Cauca: panorama para interpretar la falla terapéutica antimalárica. Parte 2 (1 ) JAIME CARMONA-FONSECA RESUMEN ntecedentes y Problema: en 1998-2002 se investigó en Antioquia (Turbo, Zaragoza y El Bagre) la eficacia terapéutica de medicamentos y A combinaciones antimaláricos. La interpretación de la respuesta terapéutica (adecuada, fallas precoz y tardía) requiere información adicional para una mejor comprensión. Objetivo: definir un marco de referencia para interpretar los resultados de las evaluaciones de respuesta terapéutica antimalárica, constituido por información sobre el comportamiento de los programas antimaláricos en Colombia y por in- formación demográfica, epidemiológica, climatológica y socioeconómica sobre el departamento de Antioquia, las regiones de Urabá y Bajo Cauca y los municipios de Turbo y El Bagre. Metodología: se usó información oficial secundaria y, menos, información primaria. Con los datos recogidos se construyeron cuadros y gráficos y se hicieron cálculos sobre otras variables. ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ DOCTOR JAIME CARMONA-FONSECA, Médico, Salubrista, Epidemiólogo; Profesor titular, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Antioquia.
