Also, María Isabel Ulloa, executive director of Propacífico, stressed the importance of the collaboration of all sectors in solving regional security problems.

That is, from Propacífico and Compromiso Valle, they have worked together with young people and communities. However, each one has specific roles and is committed to contributing according to their competencies.
This collective call from the businessmen of Valle del Cauca puts first the urgency of addressing insecurity with coordinated actions and the decisive support of the National Government.
