Objective.See the results and the prospection of the CEDEZO program in its first six years of functioning, and its role in getting over the 1990 ́s violence of Medellín. Materials and methods. A qualitative study in strategic prospective to training, speaking and advisory about entrepreneurial subjects, sensitization, inter-institutional management and intervention in neighborhoods was made with 552 participants. Results. The diagnosis made by public entities demonstrate deeper economic and social differences in the territories of the city, and also shows a population that grows in terms of economical dynamics, lack of employment opportunities, income and credits. That exclusion deepens informality, a structural Colombian problem, and increases the poverty levels. In 2002, 60% of the population was registered as living below the poverty line and an informality rate of 54,6%. Conclusions. It is necessary to propose a strategy that boosts the development and the strengthening of the competitive businesses to generate an entrepreneurship culture, the prospective and the entrepreneurial attitude among the citizens.
