The document has total peace as its transversal axis and estimates that the country has public investments in social, economic, environmental, educational or health matters, among others, between now and 2026 for a value of 1,154.8 trillion pesos, 106 trillions of pesos more than those raised in November when at the bases.
The team from the National Planning Department (DNP), headed by Jorge Iván González, was in charge of condensing the more than 89,000 citizen proposals that came from the municipalities to build the document called ‘Colombia, World Power of Life’.
The Plan is structured around five transformations: land use planning around water, human security and social justice, the human right to food, internationalization, productive economy for life and climate action; and regional convergence.
Among the goals that the project has in this four-year period is to reduce the incidence of multidimensional poverty to a range between 9.5 and 11.5 percent, that the higher education coverage rate rises from 453.94 to 62 percent. one hundred percent or that the 5-year malnutrition mortality rate drops to 3.37 per 100,000.
