Sumario:Radio Sutatenza and Acción Cultural Popular created during the second half of the twentieth century a successful and innovative adult literacy model using radio as a powerful tool. After four decades, this institution related to the Catholic Church fell as fast as it was built. Although not all of its former associates are willing to talk about it, some of them blame for this decline to the Responsible Procreation Campaign (a revolutionary strategy that provided guidance to the colombian peasants about population growth). After reviewing primary and secondary sources, the article traces the history of the campaign and presents alternative views about the decline of this initiative.
