Abstract

The School Feeding Program (PAE) was established in 2006 with the purpose of eliminating barriers to education, such as food insecurity, to keep children within the Colombian education system. Although evaluations have shown its benefits, they have also highlighted mixed results. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of the presence of the drug trafficking market and the implementation of the PAE on school attendance. To measure the simultaneous impact of drug trafficking and the PAE, a non-experimental data structure was constructed to develop mathematical models controlling for demographic, population, social, and economic factors. The results indicate that the destruction of critical drug trafficking infrastructure by the Armed Forces, combined with the school feeding program, increases school attendance. Additionally, discontinuity regressions show positive causal effects on school attendance when targeting high-value drug trafficking nodes in combination with the PAE. Therefore, if the State's social policy is coordinated with the objectives of the Armed Forces, interventions aimed at the well-being of the population could be maximized.
