Colombia: MIRE+, Assistance to Victims of Violence
The humanitarian crisis in Colombia continues despite growing efforts towards peace. Armed groups fighting for territory and valuable natural resources inflict extreme harm on rural and ethnic communities. In line with the Swiss interest to respond to humanitarian crises, SDC remains dedicated to supporting these communities, enhancing their individual and collective resilience. The project integrates humanitarian action with a developmental and peace orientation (nexus).

Hintergrund | Colombia’s complex situation stems from historical, political, and social issues, resulting in protracted crisis, even after the 2016 Peace Agreement. The 2022 government’s "Total Peace" policy, prioritizing negotiations with illicit armed groups, marks a turning point. Yet, the ICRC documents continued group proliferation. Marginalised Afro-Colombian and indigenous communities in the Pacific Coast suffer most. In 2023, 7.7 million people are in need and face threats of violence, evidenced by 82,000 displacements and 119,000 confinements, exacerbating already existing humanitarian crises. |
Ziele | To rebuild the resilience of conflict-affected communities (14,000 people) on Colombia’s Pacific Coast by improving access to protection, basic services, strengthening community capacity and improving institutional advocacy to initiate and catalyse their development process. |
Zielgruppen |
