Tres Centros de Pensamiento del Caribe Colombiano, ATARRAYA con sede en Montería, CESORE en Valledupar y FUNDESARROLLO en Barranquilla, se han unido con el fin de transmitirles a los candidatos presidenciales diez de los desafíos socioeconómicos más apremiantes que tiene nuestra región y sus posibles soluciones.

Motivation

Antecedentes Atarraya

Atarraya is the product of numerous profound conversations amongst a group of Cordovan professionals of diverse academic backgrounds and from multiple locations, seeking a better future for our region, conscious of the amazing opportunities Córdoba offers and the growing importance of our human capital for our far-reaching fulfillment as human beings. Within this warm dialogue that has been ongoing the past two years, we are also united by a shared dissent with the conditions of backwardness, poverty, and inequality that – despite its great wealth of natural resources – continue to characterize our department and negatively affect the quality of life of many fellow residents of Cordoba.
