Propuesta de agencia de desarrollo local : municipio de Itagüí

Abstract

This thesis presents a proposal for the constitution of a Development Agency in the Municipality of Itagüí, Antioquia (Colombia) as an alternative to the difficulties presented by the municipal structures, in order to face new dynamics of the productive system’s mismatch, the accelerated urbanization and the lack of resources that warrant concerted actions, co-responsibility and co-funding projects managed by new entities, not only allowed but encouraged by Colombian law, with the aim of leading local development, promote greater social investment, acquire greater fiscal autonomy and take care of the Municipality’s dutys.
