Abstract
This article is a product of the research project "Public policies, citizenship and the human rights approach in the Norte de Santander Department" carried out as a public management project - social extension of the Comfanorte Higher Studies Foundation - FESC in the Public Management Specialization Program. The aim was to describe conceptual and methodological elements that would allow the proposal of foundations for the formulation of public policies with a long-term vision and a human rights-based approach for the Norte de Santander Department, with a scope that includes the identification of the problem, the definition of the population, the diagnosis and the action plan. To this end, from the qualitative approach, theoretical foundations were adopted to support the proposal under the protection of interdisciplinary information sources through interviews with public policy experts in the region. Finally, the importance of differential approaches in the formulation of public policy was recognized, since their specificity guarantees in a differential manner the satisfaction of the rights of the different population groups, as well as the transverse and incidental participation of the citizenry as necessary in all phases of the formulation, which is fundamental to the success of public policy.
