Ituango has received a historic investment of more than $136 billion, aimed at transforming the territory in multiple dimensions. Through environmental and social management, with more than $68 billion, programs have been developed for ecological restoration, environmental compensation and community strengthening, including $1.001 million invested in 2024 alone.
The PAE, with more than $38 billion — and $3.321 million executed in 2024 — has made it possible to address contingencies, manage risks and accompany communities in adaptation and recovery processes. The additional social investment, which exceeds $28 billion, has boosted productive projects, community training and direct welfare actions, while the 1% investment, with $1.325 million, has strengthened strategic environmental initiatives.
Thanks to these resources, the municipality has seen the birth and improvement of rural and urban roads, bridges, educational centers, hospitals, housing, purification plants and employment and local development programs, consolidating a profound transformation that today is being felt in every village and in every family in Ituango.
