The Territorially Focused Development Programs (PDET), derived from the 2016 peace agreement, seek to strengthen state institutions, and reduce the incidence of criminal organizations in areas affected by armed conflict. This article analyzes the correlation between resources allocated to state strengthening in municipalities prioritized by the PDET and criminal violence rates, through a statistical analysis, segmented into four corridors, during the period 2017-2019 and 2020. The results show that only the Amazon-Guaviare corridor reduced violence rates as an effect of investment expenditures, particularly enforced disappearances. It is considered that investment in the PDETs does not necessarily have an impact on violence rates, as there are criminal governance practices in which illegal actors rearrange their interests in the territory and adapt to the institutional transformations of the post-agreement.
