NRC: Protection, humanitarian assistance and durable solutions for people affected by the armed conflict in Chocó and by the humanitarian crisis on the border Colombia-Venezuela
SDC will support NRC in reducing the vulnerability of the population affected by the ongoing armed conflict in Chocó and by the humanitarian crisis on the border Colombia-Venezuela. On one hand, responding to the impacts as a result of the prolonged crisis within Venezuela, the population is expected to develop the capacity to identify protection risks and strategies to mitigate them. On the other hand, as for the internal situation in Chocó in the frame of the victims’ reparation, the project seeks to promote their active participation in processes addressed to implement durable solutions.

Contesto |
Despite the negotiations and the signed peace agreement, the armed conflict continues to affect communities in different departments of Colombia. In the case of Chocó, between January and September 2016, 110 events related to armed actions were registered between the ELN and the Gaitanistas Group (AGC), and violent actions from the public forces against these actors, particularly towards the ELN. In addition, in some of the areas that have historically been controlled by the FARC, there are communities victims who, within the framework of law 1448, have already initiated their collective reparation processes. In Norte de Santander, Arauca and La Guajira, in addition to disputes over the control of illegal economy routes and illegal businesses related to illicit crops and drug trafficking, five Transitional Assembling Zones have been formed within the framework of the government-FARC peace process in Guajira (Fonseca), NdS (Tibú), Cesar (La Paz) and Arauca (Arauquita / Tame). Finally, the effects of the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela exacerbate this situation. The lack of food and to the access to medical assistance, procedures and medicines, and the complex political reality, causes that a significant number of Venezuelans and Colombians to continue crossing the border daily. According to Migration Colombia, in November 2016, 5,680,000 Venezuelan citizens entered to Colombian territory and 5,615,000 returned, of which at least 65,000 Venezuelans remain in Colombian territory (95% entered through Norte de Santander). |
