Abstract

This paper focuses on a sui generis peacebuilding experience in Colombia – the Magdalena Medio Peace and Development Programme (PDPMM). Its main purpose is to assess the extent that the PDPMM stands as a true “peace laboratory” and paves new roads and alternative “formulas” for peace at local and regional level, which could be replicated in other regions of the country, in a potential post-conflict scenario in Colombia. One conjectures that the PDPMM represents a valid and consolidated positive peacebuilding model at the regional level, from which various lessons can be learned, in order to build a sustainable and lasting peace in Colombia.
