As part of the Colombian government’s strategy to support the armed-conflict victims, a
Graduation Program called “Transformando Mi Futuro” (Transforming my future) was
implemented. Unlike other graduation programs, this one targets the urban population and has
no assets transfers. To evaluate this program, a Results Evaluation (Before/After) approach was
performed using the information collected before and after implementing the program. The
main results show positive changes in well-being and a reduction in the gap between the actual
perception of well-being and the expectations for two and five years, and positive changes in
labor income and savings. These results suggest that the program contributed to improving the
living conditions of participating households. However, heterogeneity analysis shows that
impacts are differentiated according initial status of participants. This exercise is part of the set
of evaluations carried out within the Platform for Evaluation and Learning of the Graduation
Program in Latin America (www.plataformagraduacionla.info).
