Monitoring and evaluation model to determine the impact and scope of the Banco de las Oportunidades -BOA- program for small producers in the Department of Antioquia

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to present the results of the follow-up, evaluation of the impact and scope of the Banco de las Oportunidades -BOA- program, which was promoted with the purpose of providing access to credit to those vulnerable people in the department who were engaged in productive activities and, for some reason or another, did not meet the requirements of traditional banks to carry out their economic activity. With the positive results obtained from the implementation of the program, the need to structure a monitoring and evaluation model was proposed, through a descriptive typology study of the variables for the model, which would yield both quantitative and qualitative statistical data, with the purpose of validating the impact of the program on the target population. To this end, it was necessary to inquire about information on the policy and implementation of the program in the department and the beneficiary population. Finally, the results and an analysis of the behavior of the usability of the resources and the generation of information are presented, which facilitated the follow-up of the process of placement of the resources executed by the BOA program in the department of Antioquia.
