Manizales and Dosquebradas earthquake recovery efforts

Overview

Following a recent earthquake, Manizales has initiated economic recovery efforts to support local businesses and merchants. In the El Cable sector, the Torre de El Cable has opened to provide space for merchants affected by the disaster. This is part of a broader strategy to reach other sectors such as Chipre, Milán, and Calle del Tango. Daniel Toro Rendón, the Secretary of TIC and Competitiveness, noted the goal is to encourage citizens to support local commerce to assist in the rebuilding process.

Furthering these recovery efforts, the ‘Una Mujer a la Vez’ program hosted a business networking event at the Casa para la Dignidad de las Mujeres. Led by the Secretaría de las Mujeres y Equidad de Género, the initiative connected 40 female business leaders with local companies to establish commercialization channels and integrate their projects into city distribution chains.

Recent developments show a wider regional response to the earthquake damage. In Manizales, authorities are hosting a weekend of commercial reactivation across six urban points, including El Cable and Chipre, to support local entrepreneurs and the gastronomy sectors. A previous phase of this initiative reportedly generated over 300 million pesos in sales.

In nearby Dosquebradas, the ‘DO RE MI’ fair has launched at the El Progreso Shopping Center to support approximately 50 affected businesses. A local diagnostic report indicates the earthquake impacted 2,328 companies, causing an estimated 170 billion peso loss and affecting 4,708 jobs. Notably, 87.8% of the affected businesses lack insurance.
