Abstract

El desarrollo económico endógeno supone un cambio de paradigma en la forma de pensar el desarrollo en las regiones, en un intento por explicar los procesos de acumulación y generación de riqueza, y el papel que juegan los actores locales en estos procesos. En el presente artículo, proponemos unas estrategias de desarrollo económico local para el Municipio de Girardota (del Departamento de Antioquia- Colombia), obtenidas a partir de una investigación participativa que incluyó un diagnóstico, con el fin de identificar las vocaciones económicas, y así definir objetivos y estrategias que puedan ser ejecutadas a partir de programas y proyectos. Las estrategias formuladas apuntaron a la solución de cuatro problemas fundamentales de la localidad: desempleo, baja calidad y poca pertinencia del sistema educativo, competitividad menguada en sectores claves de la economía local y escasos niveles de participación ciudadana. Las conclusiones a las que llegamos muestran la importancia de la participación real de la comunidad en la elaboración de estrategias de desarrollo alineadas con los intereses y necesidades de los distintos actores locales. ****** Endogenous economic growth is a paradigm shift in the conception of regional development in an attempt to explain wealth accumulation and creation and the role of local stakeholders in these processes. This article proposes local economic development strategies for the Municipality of Girardota (Department of Antioquia, Colombia) derived from participatory research that included an analysis to identify economic vocations, objectives and strategies that can be implemented with programs and projects. The proposed strategies aim to solve four fundamental problems in the district: unemployment, poor quality and pertinence of the education system, low competitiveness of key sectors of the local economy, and scarce citizen participation. Our conclusions reveal the importance of actual participation of the community in the creation of development strategies that are in line with the interests and needs of different local stakeholders.
