There has been some progress in territorial development policies <strong>and</strong> strategies in <strong>the</strong> past five years,<br />
although not <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> same magnitude in all <strong>the</strong> countries. Overall, since 2013 several countries have improved<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir existing policies or introduced new <strong>on</strong>es. The preparati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> this analysis included research <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
existence <strong>of</strong> nati<strong>on</strong>al territorial development policies or strategies in <strong>the</strong> countries. 117 Colombia <strong>and</strong> Uruguay<br />
indicated that <strong>the</strong>y lack this definiti<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir legislati<strong>on</strong>, plans or strategies <strong>on</strong>ly menti<strong>on</strong> some <strong>the</strong>mes<br />
relating to territory. The o<strong>the</strong>r countries have some type <strong>of</strong> territorial development policy or strategy (see<br />
table III.7). According to <strong>the</strong> informati<strong>on</strong> available, <strong>on</strong>ly three countries have a nati<strong>on</strong>al territorial development<br />
policy: Argentina, Brazil <strong>and</strong> Ecuador. In <strong>the</strong> remaining countries, initiatives are included in nati<strong>on</strong>al policies<br />
or linked to those that include definiti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>of</strong> territorial development although <strong>the</strong>y do not represent a clear<br />
