The III LED Forum in Barranquilla and Colombian regionalism
Our Atlantic Leader has the doors open for the 3rd Regional Forum of Local Economic Development for Latin America and the Caribbean that is promoted by RED ADELCO. Hosting this great event between the 7th and 9th of May in Barranquilla is an unparalleled opportunity for us, because it becomes a window to showcase the work we lead for the equity of all territories in Colombia. In this sense, we fully identify with the decentralization efforts made by the organizers of the forum, in which crucial aspects of local economic development will be analyzed from a thematic and regional perspective. In Colombia, we have also been working hard and relentlessly for regionalization and decentralization, and we already have important results. One of them was the fact that 2.5 million people said "yes" to the autonomy of the Caribbean Region in 2010. We have to close the gaps that make, for example, the Caribbean Region represent 22 % of the country's population and only handle 14 % of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
