Local economic development - Employment
Show all
Today, the community demands an efficient and effective municipality, resourceful, with a metropolitan, departmental, and national projection; a municipality with an institutional vocation, vision, identity, and support that offers solutions to such significant issues as job creation to all population groups. The lack of employment opportunities has always been one of the critical issues that preclude the revitalization of the economy across the country.
Setting out the Economic Development guidelines with an Emphasis on Sciences, Technology, and Innovation (CTeI) through processes of institutional and corporate integration for the establishment of systemic competitiveness in the municipality of Sabaneta. Public policy aims at enforcing the national policy of competitiveness and productivity, CONPES 3527 of 2008, sharing the goal of fostering science, technology, and innovation, as well as competitiveness and productivity of all sectors or clusters, with the purpose of competing at world-class scenarios through transversal strategies for institutional strengthening for corporate and labor training, skills development and investment, formalization and employment, and environmental sustainability. The public policy of economic development stresses the protection of human rights. These are indispensable for territorial development and are an intrinsic part of it. Likewise, the latter favors the legitimation of human rights by incorporating ethical and legal principles inherent to them within development practices.
For the proper development of the strategic actions and guidelines defined in the policy of economic development, the Municipality of Sabaneta, as part of its Municipal Development plan “We Are All Sabaneta, Sabaneta City for the World, Sabaneta Conscious City, 2020–2023,” has defined working guidelines that aim at a sustainable economic development and has realized, by means of economic resources from different sources, the allocation of budget funds for the policy action plan. For the current quadrennium and for the implementation of the government’s plan, $245.000.000 were allocated, of which only 58% of the total amount of resources have been executed, with a pending figure of $144.023,180. Note: figures are expressed in Colombian pesos.
As to employability, the public policy of economic development allows for a close relationship with different groups of strategic interest—in this case, the government of Antioquia, the Ministry of Labor, the Family Compensation Funds COMFAMA and COMFENALCO—as well as with different agencies of the Municipal Administration. Cooperation agreements and alliances have been established with these actors, which promote the advancement of an inclusive dynamics of the labor market in the municipality; different events have been held, among them massive employment fairs, custom trainings, and guidance through the different areas of the municipal corporate fabric. The Policy of Economic Development is a document of transversal execution that impacts on the rest of the divisions of the Municipality of Sabaneta, which contribute with their operating capacity to reach the proposed objectives. Furthermore, the Municipality’s Chamber of Commerce helps in the assessment of statistical data that allows to learn firsthand the level of progress with regard to economic growth and the impact across the territory.
The Honorable Municipal Council of Sabaneta, pursuant to its constitutional and legal authority, especially the one conferred by virtue of article 313 of the Political Constitution of Colombia; Law No. 136 of 1994, amended by Law No. 1551 of 2012; Law No. 1286 of 2009, "whereby Law 29 of 1990 is amended"; Municipal Agreement No. 2 of 2016, and other regulations, adopts the Public Policy of Economic Development of the Municipality of Sabaneta 2018–2030, with an emphasis on Science, Technology, and Innovation, set out within the framework of the Strategic Plan for Economic Development with an emphasis on Science, Technology, and Innovation (CTeI).

Today, the municipality requires access to dignified work with full legal guarantees, with an impact on personal development and quality of life for its citizens. There is a close relationship with the city’s public policy, with a local office of the Public Employment Service open to the community.
The public policy of economic development has paved the way for Family Compensation Funds COMFAMA and COMFENALCO’s collaboration. The National Learning Service (SENA) and the Center of Labor Orientation and Management (CEOGET) also work closely with the municipality, as well as the start-ups unit of the Subdirectorate of Corporate Enhancement and Start-Ups (Secretariat of Economic Development), where users are referred to for guidance on business ideas, and organically, to the different agencies of the municipal administration. Furthermore, there are cooperation agreements signed with private universities such as UNISABANETA and CEIPA Business School. Finally, at the regional level, intervention alliances have been established with bodies such as Metropolitan Area and the Government of Antioquia for compliance with management indicators.
Currently, the Public Employment Agency takes part in the Subregional Employment Board, the Municipal Council for Economic Development (CMDE), monthly meetings with the Ministry of Labor, and fora proposed by family compensation funds, in addition to frequent meetings held with different sectors or trade unions. As part of the processes addressing the different economic issues across the territory, the agency has contributed to the creation of the night traders’ board, the stable owners’ board, the Municipal Council for Economic Development, the Municipal Council for Rural Development, and the Municipal Council for Tourism. Additionally, the agency has participated in different realms of territory development, such as the Corporate Sustainability Forum, headed by the Secretariat of the Environment, and the economic revitalization committees called for by the regional authority (Government of Antioquia).
Budget is guaranteed by the local government.
Current public policy is subject to a monitoring and evaluation system linked with the execution of the Strategic Plan for Economic Development pursuant to the requirements established by the Municipal Council for Economic Development. The Municipal Council for Economic Development shall present an annual report before the Municipal Council in regard to the implementation and progress of the current public policy.
