Una mirada a los planes de desarrollo de Caldas desde los objetivos el milenio. Una lectura subregional

Abstract

This paper does not pretend to assess the process, validity or relevance of designing development plans nor analyze their data or figures. The aim is to present a short overview of the development plan and their content of the territorial institutions in the state of Caldas and the discussion of their Millennium Development Goals - MDG.

In all development plans, we can find programs, projects, goals, or facts related to or involved with the proposal for making progress in the achievement of development goals. However, only some plans made explicit these aspects. This fact is evident in the rigidity of the structure in the development plan and the lack of public presentation of

the development goals to/in institutions different from high government institutions and the academic world.

Even though it is expected that future planning processes will make an emphasis on the Millennium Goals, it is necessary to bring communities closer to their original purposes and the MDG pursued. This activity requires the commitment of all those involved and the responsibility to work in order to achieve them.
