The Administrative Director of the Facatativá extension, Dr. Carlos Fernando Gómez Ramírez, carried out a review of the management carried out during the year 2022, describing this period as a year of good results in which an extraordinary experience was lived.

According to the director, a particularly noteworthy aspect of this administration is the impact the University of Cundinamarca has had on the municipality of Facatativá and other municipalities in the Sabana de Occidente region of Cundinamarca. This impact has been achieved through projects focused on environmental issues, land use, administrative and accounting sciences, and systems engineering, which have positively impacted several communities in the region. All of this aligns with the institution's mission and translocal approach.

Other achievements of the 2022 administration are the following:

In this regard, the extension program focuses primarily on three areas: water conservation, energy efficiency, and recycling practices. Thanks to these efforts, the Environmental Management System received quality certification from ICONTEC.
