  • Youth and Public Policy in Colombia
    YOUTH POLICY REVIEW SERIES Youth and Public Policy in Colombia The failure of political systems to respond to the demands of young people and the inability of the current economic model to accommodate young Romero people into the labor market, presents a significant challenge for many countries including Colombia. This is particularly relevant considering · that between 2015 and 2035 Colombia will have the largest youth popula- García tion (15-24 years) of the history. · Despite efforts to make sure the inclusion of young voices in policymak- Rodríguez ing processes, much remains to be done to ensure youth participation in economic and social development. With this context in mind, this review aims to analyze youth policies in Co- · lombia, focusing on those related to health, education and participation. Tobón-García The review is framed within the notion of ‘a decent life’ and it considers Gina Paola Romero Rodríguez the current peace process in Colombia. Cindy Paola García Buitrago Carlos Andrés Rodríguez Castro · About the Youth Policy Review Series Aguilar Daniel Tobón-García Juliana Aguilar Forero This review series researches and analyzes public policies affecting youth. Many countries have stated their youth policies, but are they executing them? Do these policies allow young people to achieve their rights? How Youth and Public Policy in do youth policies interact with broader policies that affect young people?

  • The Illusion of Community Participation: Experience in the Irregular Settlements of Bogotá
    The illusion of community participation: experience in the irregular settlements of Bogotá A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Noriko Hataya Department of Geography University College London 2007 The illusion of community participation: experience in the irregular settlements of Bogotá Abstract The study focuses on community participation among the poor of Bogotá, Colombia. It explores the changing relationships between poor communities, local politicians and the city government before and after the institutional reforms and changing approach to development that occurred during the 1990s. The case studies were conducted in six irregular settlements, all developed in contravention of the city’s planning regulations. Data were collected using a sample household survey and in-depth interviews with community leaders, local inhabitants and the representatives of outside organisations. In the 1990s, clientelistic practices became less effective to push the regularisation process. City programmes toward irregular settlements became more holistic and benefited from better coordination between the different public entities. As a result, the inhabitants became more discriminating in identifying the most effective strategies for obtaining the services and infrastructure that they required. Competent government intervention was ultimately the most important factor in furthering the regularisation process. However, regularisation could not be achieved without community participation. Community involvement was important both before and after a settlement was recognised. The community had to find the money to put down a deposit before the service agencies would install services. This required not only a minimum level of economic resources but also firm community leadership. The study also shows that apparently contradictory decisions made by the different communities were highly rational.
