Puentes de esperanza: participation in the Territorial Development Programs (PDET) as transformation and reparation for positive peacebuilding in Urabá Antioqueño, Colombia

Since 2016, after the signature of the peace agreement, Colombia has been facing a post-conflict process that, according to the Peace Agreement (2016), seeks for positive peacebuilding, contributing to the development of the areas that were most affected by the war, encouraging the reincorporation of ex-combatants into civil society, reducing the cocaine crops, working for transitional justice, recognition of victims, among other goals. This research paper will seek to analyse participation evaluating how the community contributed to the process of decision-making in planning and implementing the Rural Reform in the Territorial Development Programs (PDET for its name in Spanish) municipalities of Urabá Antioqueño. The PDET will last only for 10 years, and it has already been 7 years since they started, for which it is important to do research on them, to acknowledge some of the issues around them (only the participation in this case), and truly understand what has happened after the Peace Agreement was signed.
