This latest Voices of the Poor study
advances the participatory research tradition of the
previous World Bank Voices works with new modules focusing
on poor peoples' action recommendations. In the summer
of 2002, 942 poor women and men from ten poor communities of
Colombia discussed urgent problems facing their families and
communities. They shared their experiences, frustrations and
hopes for improving their deteriorating livelihood
prospects, the pervasive violence afflicting their homes and
communities, and the very poor educational and training
opportunities availably locally. Voices of the Poor in
Colombia also includes proposals, developed by the
communities, that they believe can bring real improvements
to their lives. Two broad patterns emerge from the more than
250 action recommendations developed. First, poor people
view problems of livelihood, insecurity and education as
tightly connected, and progress will have to be made
simultaneously on all three fronts if any is to be made at
all. Second, households are seen to be the critical arenas
in which development problems begin and then spread, and
responsive and effective local institutions are terribly
important if poor families and communities are to become
more harmonious, secure and prosperous. Despite the wider
political violence, a significant finding from this work is
a very widespread view that more cohesive and stronger
families and local organizations are the bedrock to greater
peace and development. |
