Abstract
Los programas de protección social se han convertido en una herramienta indispensable y muy efectiva para mejorar las condiciones de vida de la población en situación de pobreza y vulnerabilidad. Este documento revisa los cinco principales programas de transferencias monetarias en Colombia, y estudia su historia, focalización, cobertura, operatividad y los compromisos fiscales derivados de su implementación. Asimismo, hace una revisión de las evaluaciones de impacto de estos programas y sus resultados en múltiples indicadores sociales. Este trabajo es un primer intento de consolidar la información existente sobre el tema en Colombia, que permite entender de manera comprehensiva el alcance y retos de estos programas, así como identificar posibles áreas de investigación y mejoras. **** ABSTRACT: Social protection programs have become an important and effective tool to mitigate poverty and vulnerability. This document reviews the main cash transfer programs in Colombia. We study their history, targeting, coverage, operation, and fiscal commitments derived from their implementation. Likewise, we review the impact evaluations of these programs and their results in multiple social indicators. We hope that this document represents a starting point to consolidate the existing information about cash transfers in Colombia, in order to comprehensively understand the scope and challenges of these programs, as well as to identify possible areas of research and improvements.
