DEMARCHI-SANCHEZ, Geydi Dahiana. Citizen participation in Colombia. Documentary review. Entramado [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.2, e15.  Epub 27-Out-2023. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.2.9045.

This article aims to analyze the effectiveness of citizen participation processes in Colombia. As a methodology, qualitative research was chosen, under the hermeneutical approach, and as a strategy, the documentary review where different scientific documents that revolved around the topics of interest were recovered to clarify the research questions. Among the results, it was found that even though the Political Constitution of 1991 defined the parameters for participation, there is still a lot of apathy and ignorance about them. It was finally concluded that among the factors that prevent good practices in the exercise of citizen participation are the digital gaps, electoral abstentionism, ignorance of the population, and the apathy of the rulers to integrate the people in the country's decisions.
