    Community participation in health issues is considered a key element to increase the development and improvement of health conditions in the territory; therefore, it is urged to strengthen its management in order to improve its effectiveness and maximize its benefits. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the management capacity of the Corregidores of the Community Epidemiological Surveillance Committee (COVECOM) in the municipality of Cereté, Córdoba, which is established as a health participation mechanism. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a mixed approach, whose population consisted of nine Corregidores members of the municipal COVECOMs and an official of the Health Secretariat. The survey technique was used for the Corregidores, where 10 dimensions were evaluated using a Likert scale from one to five notes, and the interview technique was used for the official of the Health Secretariat. The information collected was analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and narrative analysis respectively. It could be determined that more than 50% of the Corregidores comply with the participation in health, likewise, 85% between the score four and five have greater incidence in their management in the factors linked to some aspects of information flow, deliberative quality, decision making, institutional commitment, empowerment, management capacity, leadership, teamwork and motivation. In turn, the Secretariat of Health assumes its responsibility towards COVECOM and its commitment not only to its members but also to the community and its willingness to work on its development. It is recommended to progressively reaffirm the empowerment of COVECOM in its management capacity with the support of the Secretariat of Health to improve the health outcomes of the communities based on the effectiveness of its participation.
