El ADN de la paz con enfoque territorial en tres municipios del Magdalena Medio

Abstract

This work presents conceptual and reflection elements on the territorial approach, the perception about the peace agreements in the municipalities, the role and actions carried out by organizations in the territory, as well as the associativity component as an articulating and dynamic axis. of individual and collective projects. The book is based on the results and experience obtained in the Peace research with a territorial and solidarity approach: community practices and perceptions in three municipalities of Magdalena Medio. Inputs for a social agenda, descriptive and interpretive study, aimed at identifying the conceptions that, about peace, territory, armed conflict and collective life projects, the communities in Barrancabermeja, San Pablo and Puerto Boyacá have built, as important inputs for construction of intersectoral and regional agendas that strengthen the implementation of peace agreements. Five techniques (characterization, interview, focus group, cartography and stakeholder map) were used in a total of 66 participants, representing 27 organizations. The results show the existence of an unfavorable perception in relation to the territorial approach, since it does not materialize in the communities; A rupture is perceived between what is proposed through regulatory frameworks and public policies with the way in which they are operationalized, in addition to delegitimization and non-compliance with actions in development plans. Likewise, organizations are conceived as spaces for citizen articulation that facilitate the construction of scenarios for the accompaniment and psychosocial and political support, the restoration of the being and the social fabric, the planning and development of the territory, the defense and guarantee of rights. Peace is conceived as a fundamental right of social, multicultural property, with personal origin and interpersonal effects; New cycles of violence are identified, as well as dissatisfaction regarding the minimum vitals. The findings are conceived as an important input for the generation of actions that allow the strengthening of the relations of the communities and the State, as well as the consolidation of peace in the territories.
