Abstract: Since 1990s, social intervention in Colombia undertaken by NGO’s and private companies, as part of their corporate social responsibility policies, has been experiencing a continuous expansion, especially in the field of community based local development models . Particularly in marginal areas where the State has little presence and market development is minimal, there are many cases and projects that have received some kind of support. However, there are very few known assessments that had been made about the benefits, shortcomings or failures from such a proposal and less on their capability to solve the problems from which they arise. Beyond the balance on pros and cons of this proposal, this paper recognizes its importance, and being aware of its future growth focuses on three issues that can significantly affect its efficiency and positive results. Thus they provide valuable signals on factors considered the determinants of growth and development of a nation, a region or a locality; about beliefs and behaviors that characterize the way we view and act as both promoters and implementers of projects and beneficiaries as such, as well as regarding the limitations and weaknesses of the procedures usually followed for the selection and evaluation of projects.
