Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the potential municipal development for the Pacific Region of Colombia. To evaluate the Colombian municipalities' capacity to target the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a multidimensional evaluation framework has been developed for choosing relevant indicators for the evaluation of sustainable development aspects. We use multivariate analysis and spatial analysis to calculate the Local Development Potential Index and identify typologies and clusters of municipalities. This index comparatively evaluates sustainable development levels in the 178 municipalities in four Colombian departments: Choco, Narino, Cauca, and Valle del Cauca. The results of our index allow civil society and policymakers to acknowledge the existence of common regional potentialities to generate collaborative initiatives and share experiences to improve their development.
