Abstract

Colombia registra grandes desigualdades en su territorio que se reflejan en los indicadores de desempeño económico y social de sus municipios y departamentos. Estas disparidades se mantienen a pesar de que los recursos que invierte el país en los sectores sociales, principalmente salud y educación, se han incrementado en los últimos años y que la descentralización de las últimas décadas ha significado un crecimiento significativo de los recursos ejecutados por los gobiernos locales. Una de las alternativas de política que ayudaría a corregir la persistencia de las inequidades regionales es un Fondo de Compensación Regional, que permita canalizar recursos hacia las zonas rezagadas del país. Este documento presenta las bases de lo que sería este fondo, que se convertiría en la herramienta necesaria para impulsar una equidad real y efectiva entre las regiones, otorgarles igualdad de oportunidades a los colombianos sin importar su lugar de residencia, fomentar la solidaridad entre los ciudadanos y cumplir con los objetivos propuestos en las metas del milenio y en el plan Visión Colombia 2019.
