Various combinations of keywords were used to identify approximately 346,858 documents, such as books, chapters, articles and other reports linked to the topic. Of these, 33,995 documents were identified for Latin America and 14,196 for Colombia. The research follows a qualitative paradigm and uses the Delphi methodology, with techniques such as the selection of documents by related categories and the extraction and interpretation of data.
