Bogota DC is the capital of Colombia; it constitutes 16.4% of the total urban population in the country. The project builds on two entry points: (i) Bogota is planning to become “the caring city” (ciudad cuidadora) by promoting an inclusive, sustainable, conscious city for population well-being through a participatory approach; and (ii) the “care promoters’ initiative” to improve integrated primary health care by developing a road map with the local community, civil society organizations, and stakeholders. The project is beginning in the Alcadia local de Kennedy, with a focus on promoting the participation of people with disabilities. It will make use of existing official intersectoral committees led by the Secretary of Health and Kennedy Local Council.
