Column La Tarde
Fundación Kíos
Pereira and
Kíos
Almost two years ago La Tarde
kindly provided this column to Kíos Foundation and from it we have tried to present
our views on many issues, global, national and local. To do a summary about all
these writings is an axiomatic impossibility, so we have decided to exclusively
remember this day some of the approaches reflected on the challenges that Pereira
and his surroundings must face and overcome through implementation of a leadership
free of troglodytes’ dogmatisms manners and bad practices, but characterized for
been dynamic, wise, innovative, and results oriented.
Without further ado, we present some of these reflections, hoping that as citizens we wonder whether there has been serious progress towards the
consolidation of these ideas.
At www.kiosdecolombia.blogspot.com you would find the
complete collection of these notes.
"Pereira, then, must forward to topics such as: to guarantee users a system of selective waste management to extend the useful life of
the infrastructure available through the promotion of a sustainable source separation culture and recycling, to promote recyclers’ social inclusion, granting the significant environmental contribution they make to the city, and finally, to
increase civic engagement towards
environmental care through new waste
management tariffs witch include economic
incentives to reward responsible
households." (January 5, 2011)
"It is necessary to re-launch what
is regional, and conceive it not only as
an administrative exercise designed to
create new instances of
government, but as a means to
achieve significant enhancements on
dwellers welfare and human development by improving territories capabilities and
conditions to harness and strengths their advantage and success factors." (April
27, 2011)
"International experience has shown
that the formation of regional development poles parts from large agreements and economic consensus, political and
social, around certain patterns
of specialization or productive schemes,
which reflect the existing assets."
(June 1, 2011)
"Similarly, reviewing the local urban
zoning might become a window of opportunity
to strengthen regional integration
dynamics with the municipalities that
are part of the metropolitan area. There is not a
single doubt that Pereira has a huge regional vocation,
which may be enhanced as a condition for
competitiveness and to promote local economic development through a better economic and productive activities allocation
in space." (August
23, 2011)
“Combination of
institutional efforts with allocation and responsible use of significant public
resources to do enduring investments, the citizens belief that Pereira can become
a center of sustainable development for the country and, above all, the
recognition of the importance of rebuilding a culture of peace, focusing
citizens’ potential towards educational and cultural efforts, will make of
Pereira the pearl its citizens have always imagined." (September
