Juntas de Acción Comunal

Juntas de Acción Comunal are community organizations in Colombia that promote local development and social cohesion. Made up of neighborhood residents, these groups collaborate with local governments to address community needs, coordinate projects, and improve living conditions. They serve as platforms for residents to participate in decision-making processes, advocate for public resources, and organize activities that benefit their areas—such as sanitation, security, and infrastructure. These organizations strengthen democratic participation at the local level, fostering collective effort and civic engagement to enhance community well-being.
