The document discusses Colombia's historical security, economic, and social problems in 2002 and the government's efforts to address them. It outlines the government's vision of building a confident state through democratic security, investment with social responsibility, and social cohesion policies. These policies focused on improving security conditions, promoting investment and economic growth, and expanding social programs. The results included significantly reduced violence, increased investment, exports and economic growth, greater social services coverage, and an expanded middle class. The document emphasizes leadership, communication, and maintaining policies to continue progress during future challenges.
Kenya has a vision to be a middle income country by the year 2030. It's development blueprint, Vision 2030, spells out the how this will be achieved. However, many factors could interplay to thwart this vision. There are things that can be done to shield the economy and accelerate the achievement of the Vision 2030. This presentation highlights these things. Enjoy.
Let's have a discussion about capitalism and socialism. This slideshare makes the case that what we need is more capitalism as it is the system that reduces poverty and actually delivers a better overall quality of life. Yes, there are improvements that can be made, but let's have that discussion before we make revolutionary changes that have not worked well in other places.

How can we slow (1) increasing income inequality & (2) National Debt?
Possible solutions might include Keynsian and trickle-up economics. Might the Moral Equivalent of War increase social capital and wealth taxes?

According to economist Thomas Piketty’s recent “Inequality of Capital,” the top income earners now have 60% of our national income. From 1942 to 1980, however, the same high income people had only 34%. I will show what happened after 1980 to bring about our present income inequality. It has contributed to the unexpected political success of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

4. 1. A historical problem
Colombia faced a Confidence Deficit
The elusive quest for peace
Many governments exhausted
all their political capital
attempting to reach peace
through political dialogue…the
result was military
strengthening from illegal
armed groups and a rapid
growth in their criminal
activities (68% thought the
country was going in a
negative track)
Terrorist Groups (Guerrillas
and Paramilitaries) had
created a sense of defeat in
the Colombian people.
Fear impacted in the
Colombian people Mindset
The lack of investment
The drain of human capital
The sense of danger in
Colombian roads.
The expansion of massive
kidnappings created an
emotional domino effect

VISION
Our vision was to build a Comunitary State:

4. Colombia current
challenges
22. 5.Peace talks in Colombia
1. Defining peace:
Colombian National Seal has two important concepts: Liberty
and Order
A peaceful country requires the right exercise of individual
liberties and a general environment of institutional and social
order
In 2002 Colombia lacked both Concepts:
28.000 homicides
2800 Kidnappings
1645 terrorist attacks
350 Municipalities without majors
Our Democratic Security Policy was built to restore
institutional order and protect the exercise of individual
liberties. It was a policy for peace not a policy for war. The
great evidence is that by 2010 homicides were reduced
50%, kidnappings 80% and terrorist attacks by 90%
23. 5.Peace talks in Colombia
2. Our Democratic Security Policy was based on Strong
Hand and Big Heart.
We conceived Universal Demobilization for all members of
illegal armed groups
We confronted all illegal armed groups with the same
determination and open the door for peace processes. Under
clear conditions defined in the Peace, Truth and Reparation
Law
The peace process with AUC was based on:
Cease of illegal activities
International verification (OAS)
Incarceration
Anyone who did not cooperate or continued with illegal activities
will lose the privileges and be extradited if any extradition request
existed.
No eligibility for those accused for crimes against humanity or
crimes different than political delinquent practices
24. 5.Peace talks with FARC
Prevent Big Failures today:
Negotiation without seizure of criminal activities
Negotiating Policy with weapons on the table clearly
affects Colombian Democratic Values
Allowing political participation to individuals
responsible for crimes against humanity is a wrong
message for our democracy
No imprisonment
Allowing dictatorial regimes that affect liberties and
support FARC, as guarantors is a bad signal
25. 5. Peace talks in Colombia
The Peace process that I would support:
What Colombia
thinks
68% of Colombians are not willing to
pardon crimes committed by
terrorist organizations
78% of Colombians are against no
prison sanctions for terrorists
72% of Colombians are against
political participation by terrorist
groups
My opinions
No impunity for crimes against
humanity
Justice, peace and reparation
Immediate release of kidnapped
people
Unilateral cease of criminal activities
My opinions
International verification of
disarmament
No policy agenda on the table
Reinsertion agenda
26. Final Thoughts
1. Human problems require human solutions
2. Our strategy worked because it was
conceived by the people, by the people for
the people
3. Our esence was pedadogy not demagogy
4. Macro Vision and Micro Management are
esential to succed in times of crisis
