Risultati fasi precedenti:  

In its first phase, the MPTF managed to mobilize US$ 85.668.040 and to assign US$ 80’700’000 to 107 projects in 345 municipalities, benefiting more than 1’400.000 people. 135 of these are part of the 170 PDET prioritized municipalities.

The Fund has been an important instrument to the establishment of a new institutional framework, having created specific units in charge of the implementation of the peace agreements points, and has proven successful when providing a rapid response to guarantee stabilization in the territories that have been prioritized for the post-conflict era. 

-As main members of the MPTF Steering Committee, the UN RC/HC, the Office of the Resident Coordinator (RCO), donor representatives, APC and the High Ministerial Advisor for Stabilization will be key partners of the Fund.

-SECO will participate in the IADB Fund (“Colombia Sostenible”) with CHF 5 million. The “Colombia en Paz” fund is a permanent observant member of “Colombia Sustenible” assuring complementarity between the existing 4 Funds (MPTF, Colombia Sostenible, EU Trust Fund and WB Fund).

-The MPTF participates in the EU Trust Fund for Colombia as an guest of honour, as a way to seek the expected complementarity.
