La Alcaldía de Medellín se comprometió con la implementación de un modelo de gestión pública orientada al fortalecimiento de una administración transparente y participativa, permitiendo que la ciudadanía sea partícipe de manera activa y co-responsable en los procesos de la planeación local y en la destinación de los recursos públicos.

Las organizaciones sociales, los líderes y lideresas, y la ciudadanía en general, han desarrollado y fortalecido mediante este programa, una nueva metodología para la participación democrática, con la construcción de escenarios deliberativos en los que es posible la formulación de diagnósticos, la priorización de las inversiones y la concertación del desarrollo local.
