This current article gives an account of the existence of public entities run with a managerial criterion, and apart from the economic profit, they also think about complying with one of the ends of the State, which is to guarantee the community the basic conditions for their well-being. Although our daily nature is filled with negative examples (bankruptcies, poor managements, frauds, and another kind of attitudes which are unhealthy within the public administration), there exist some cases similar to the one shown in these pages which give an account of the institutions that not just survive but also grow and expand their services. Such is the case of the Institute for the Development of Antioquia - IDEA - which has prevailed for 41 years, standing up to the reality of the country, facing challenges from its very creation, without alien to the attacks of particular interests., and even though it continues giving an invaluable support for the local administrations and the regions of the State and the Country.
