2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On August 23, 2018, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) signed Cooperative Agreement - AWARD No: 72514181O00005 to implement the Community Stabilization Action (CSA) and provide the Government of Colombia (GoC) with technical assistance and tools to address the dire humanitarian situation created in communities affected by the sudden increase of population flows from Venezuela. This report presents the progress made between August 23, 2018 and December 31, 2018. During the first two months of the intervention, team efforts and activities have been focused on coordinating and aligning the results framework and the work plan with the needs, priorities and strategies of GoC partners and USAID. To this end, coordination meetings were undertaken to prioritize and further develop the activities set out in the approved proposal for each of the three planned components. Progress was also made in the identification and hiring of personnel. To date the CSA has Deputy Coordinator- Programmatic and Operational Manager. The regional Departmental Office Coordinator in Norte de Santander has also been hired. As to La Guajira, Bogota, Cali and Ipiales, the corresponding liaison officers have been hired. Regarding public policy, the Government of Colombia defined its policy to address the migratory crises coming from Venezuela through document CONPES 3950 (National Council of Economic and Social Policy) adopted on November 23, 2018. This is an effort designed for the medium term and its purpose is to strengthen GoC’s capacities at the national, regional and local, in migration issues. This will contribute to enhance the positive impact of migration on the society and migrants. In addition, the GoC has been working on updating its internal norms in relation to the Migratory and Border Laws, understanding that Colombia is now recipient country and that they have a binational approach. Since September 2018, CSA has offered technical assistance to the GoC in several lines, such as: labour inclusion, formulation of CONPES resolutions on migratory issues and support in the definition of the National Development Plan. To date CSA has not received formal request from the GoC to work on these matters, however CSA will continue to reiterate the offer of its technical support. As the work plan has not yet been approved, activities to conclude the hiring process will continue.


3. SUMMARY OF KEY QUARTERLY RESULTS The Community Stabilization Activity (CSA) made significant advances in the three (3) components, as follows: Component 1: Enhancing GOC’s capacity 1.1 GOC’s relevant entities with improved capacity for the expansion of the registration mechanism. To strength the capacity of the National Registry and other entities to register prioritized populations, CSA, undertook needs assessments evaluations in different departments, in close coordination with the National Civil Registry and with special registry offices. As a result, 6 territories which had the greatest need of strengthening the attention, according to the migratory crisis were prioritized. CSA and the National Registry identified the need to provide support for the registration and identification of Colombian minors who return from Venezuela with one or both of their Colombian parents and who are under vulnerable condition. This will strengthen the National Registry capacity to respond to the increase of migrant population in Colombia. In close coordination with the National Registry and the Cúcuta Mayor’s Office (Norte de Santander), a physical space was identified to carry out the registration process. Infrastructure works will be undertaken to place the administrative area and to build two sanitary units, providing a friendly space to the beneficiaries. At the present time, the approval and access to the facility has been granted. The contract to undertake the civil works has been approved and the activities will start in the first quarter of 2019. Likewise, furniture and some technological equipment will be provided. This will contribute to provide timely information and guidance to migrants on how to get the required information for the registration process and to undertake the necessary steps for the citizenship procedures. Likewise, actions between MFA and Migración Colombia have been carried out during this quarter. CSA in close coordination with MFA through Migración Colombia started the analysis to implement the biometric registration systems (Biomig). The actions will be prioritized in the border of Norte de Santander (Puente Simón Bolívar) and Nariño (Puente Internacional Rumichaca). Four technical meetings with Migración Colombia to define the framework to implement this strategy have taken place. Due to the technical conditions of this process, there had been meetings with the Migración Colombia’s IT service provider to elaborate the technical proposal and to advance with the subscription of the work contract. Issues such as the technological platform requirements, required adjustments to current systems, expansion of the data storage capacity and platform enhancements to allow access by other authorities in the region have been discussed to find alternatives to comply with the technical requirements of the migration authorities in Colombia.


During the reporting period, IOM, as part of the Migration and Childhood Bureau, together with other international cooperation agencies, carried out different actions in the Colombian territory. In 2018, with the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and Colombian Institute for Family Welfare (ICBF), the Migrant and Refugee Children Advisory Board, with the participation of United Nations System Agencies such as IOM, UNHCR and UNICEF and international NGOs such as the Norwegian Refugee Council, World Vision and Save The Children was established. As part of the work plan of this advisory board, a joint visit to La Guajira was arranged to visit three municipalities: Maicao, Riohacha and Paraguachón to diagnose the situation of Venezuelan migrant children and adolescents and their families and to identify places to assist this population, guaranteeing their human rights. During this visit, it was defined that through this technical advisory board, ICBF will be supported in two (2) lines of action: i) Support ICBF in the management of protection and prevention services for boys, girls and adolescents and ii) Management of three spaces to provide protection and to reduce the threat of the violation of the rights of migrant boys, girls and adolescents and to provide support for the rapid response by the ICBF. As to line number i) support ICBF in the management of protection and prevention services for boys, girls and adolescents, three specific actions were carried out:

a) Three (3) families were nominated to provide family-based alternative care at the Regional Office of the ICBF in Riohacha. These families are currently waiting for the psychosocial visit to review their profiles and validate if these families could be selected to receive Venezuelan unaccompanied or separated boys, girls and adolescents.

b) During this period, progress was made to articulate with religious leaders, priests, community leaders to disseminate and promote the strategy and to encourage the active identification of new families to strengthen the Substitute Home model in Riohacha and in Maicao.

c) A meeting was coordinated with the Departmental Government of La Guajira as well as with Riohacha and Maicao mayors to promote the strategy of substitute families and possible support in the strategy to identify families.

As to line number ii) management of three spaces to provide protection and to reduce the threat of the violation of the rights of migrant boys, girls and adolescents and to provide support for the rapid response by the ICBF, the following actions were performed:

a) CSA working alongside with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), made some logistical adjustments to improve the management of the Maicao Protective Space and the attention of the beneficiary population in this area. Some changes included the readjustment of logistics, the establishment of control and monitoring on the educational agents’ activities, the increase of the educational agents, and the establishment of new roles to strengthen the assistance processes.

b) In Maicao, 1,805 Venezuelan migrant boys, girls and adolescents received services. c) Through the modality of Care and Shelter, 45 initial assessments on social work and psychology

were made. It was evidenced that 43 of the beneficiaries do not have an identity document and for this reason they do not have access to health or education services. After this evaluation,


CSA coordinated actions with the identified networks to help them with the regularization of their status in Colombia, aiming to guarantee their rights. Similarly, a visit was made to the Plaza de la India where Venezuelan families are invited to join the program and as a result, 15 boys, girls and adolescents decided to participate in the program.

d) In total, 60 Venezuelan migrant boys, girls and adolescents have been lodged in the House of Care and Shelter.

e) Currently, the Renacer Foundation is in the process of getting the license that is granted by ICBF. In the meantime, the psychosocial team of Renacer Foundation is carrying out the active search of boys, girls and adolescents in Riohacha.

In the framework of this advisory board, it was also agreed to make the first visit to Barranquilla (Atlántico) to identify spaces for the attention of migrant boys, girls and adolescents. Under this framework, the modality of care and shelter in the house of the Association of Venezuelans was implemented. A visit carried out by ICBF through its Mobile Unit was carried out to verify the status of their rights and to make the referrals to the existing service offer. The ICBF visits to these two places is still pending and once it takes place, the short- and medium-term actions in the framework of the advisory board will be defined. Likewise, during this quarter the route for the restoration of the rights of unaccompanied, separated and refugee migrant boys, girls and adolescents was arranged, and will be shared with all local authorities, agencies and institutions to guarantee the rights of this population. The ICBF referral form for Unaccompanied or separated migrant boys, girls and adolescents was created. Its objective is that any competent entity in the protection of child and adolescents’ rights can make the referral of these cases to ICBF for verification and if necessary, opening the case for the Administrative Process of Restoration of Rights (PARD). Finally, CSA has provided technical support for the preparation of the Protocol for the Protection of Boys, Girls and Adolescents at the transit center in Maicao. The technical advisory board has become a unique scenario of inter-institutional and inter-agency articulation. Coordinated and rapid response actions are carried out according to the needs of unaccompanied or separated Venezuelan migrant boys, girls and adolescents and the ones who live with their families. These joint efforts allowed rapid progress in the execution of actions, obtaining quick wins in comprehensive care and protection of the rights of this population. Currently, the Colombian Government has a technical body which provides guidance on the actions to be developed for the care of migrant boys, girls and adolescents and the prevention of the violation of their rights. The support provided to the ICBF with two exclusive expert professionals in migration issues made it possible to advance in the identification of substitute homes as a protection modality for unaccompanied or separated migrant boys, girls and adolescents, which evidences the great interest of the ICBF to support socio-community initiatives. 1,866 Venezuelan migrant boys, girls and adolescents received services at the protective space under the modality of Care and Shelter.


A total of 506 breast-feeding and pregnant women received assistance in the protective space. 280 Kits for recreational activities (use of spare time), 125 Hygiene Kits and 168 Early Childhood Kits were delivered. 30 cases were referred to Pastoral Social, entity which is responsible to ensuring shelter, food and the restoration of violated rights. These cases were identified as highly complex and beyond of the Pastoral Social’s mandate. To date, the activation of the route of attention has been carried out in 2 cases through the ICBF Mobile Unit. It was identified that they were abandoned children and were victims of alleged abuse or exploitation (hence, contact with the Adolescent Childhood Police has been necessary to report cases of child sexual exploitation). In the protective space, migrant boys, girls and adolescents attended workshops with key messages that allow them to improve and strengthen their life survival skills. In the development of the workshops it has been identified that a significant group of girls and boys of the host community are out of school; therefore, it has been necessary that the NRC Education area provide attention to these cases, and to undertake actions to prevent xenophobia in the surrounding communities. Under the care and shelter modality, boys, girls and adolescents have made significant progress in terms of their personal care and tolerance. Since boys, girls and adolescents spent most of their time on the streets, they do not recognize norms, limits or authority patterns. As a result, the activities have been developed to strengthen their social and interpersonal skills. These significant and innovative experiences in Colombia related to the attention of boys, girls and adolescents became very important points of reference to continue the implementation of similar modalities in other border areas requiring support to provide care and protection to Venezuelan migrant boys, girls and adolescents and their families. It was possible to identify protection zones/areas for Venezuelan migrant children, adolescents, returnees and refugees in Barranquilla within the framework of the commitments of the National Board of Refugee and Migrant Children. These are:

i) Casa de Paso, at Simon Bolivar neighborhood. The Regional ICBF office will undertake an evaluation to define the capacity and the necessary equipment for this facility;

ii) Villa Caracas, there are approximately 219 Venezuelan families, mixed families and inhabitants of the city. The host community is receiving more Venezuelan population since the possibilities to rent the land to build houses are more convenient. The area lacks public utility services, including sewage services, and risks of landslides in the rainy season or when facing heavy rains;

iii) Informal camp in Puente Murillo with 38 street. According to census carried out by the Secretariat of Public Space on November 2, 2018, there were 163 people (60 are boys, girls and adolescents and 38 are under 5 years of age) and about 50 improvised dwellings;

iv) Father Tamayo boarding school. The space operates under two modalities: 1) ICBF boarding school with a quota of 96 children (there are only 3 Venezuelan children who are linked to


the Program) and 2) Mayor's Program: "Working for children", aimed to eradicate child labor, consists in the restoration of the rights of children who are with their parents while working on the streets. The boys, girls and adolescents who enter the program remain in the facilities where they receive food, training, workshops, while they are outside of the school.

The technical support provided by IOM has allowed the consolidation of actions in the territories. Having a defined route of services and a unique case referral format to work with the ICBF will allow proper articulation with the different local institutions in the territory. It has been a great technical contribution for the Colombian Government in strengthening the actions of the ICBF and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As to the activities with civil society, raise awareness sessions took place with civil society organizations and the surrounding communities in the protective spaces. About 30 cases were referred to the Pastoral Social. As a result, at the first stage of the implementation process, the community welcomed the initiatives and xenophobic actions against families arriving from the mixed migratory flows were reduced. Regarding the differential approach and according to the context of La Guajira and the mixed migratory flows, suitable actions were carried out in the protective space, providing services to children, adolescents and breastfeeding and pregnant migrant women and other population, who approaches the facilities on a daily basis. In the same way, the internal roles and competences of each of the agencies and entities integrating the Migration and childhood board, seek a better understanding of the importance of a unified, coordinated and organized response. Factors such as life cycle, gender and ethnicity are evaluated to identify the risk factors to guarantee the human rights and the activation of the services. Table 1.

Component 2: Awareness Raising 2.1 Awareness messages against xenophobia, discrimination and exploitation disseminated among receiving communities, local authorities and broader public Under the Quick Wins chapter, it was suggested to move forward with the Attorney General's office in the dissemination of the Preventive Surveillance of Trafficking in Persons model prepared by IOM, UNODC and the Delegated Attorney for the Defence of the Rights of the Child, Adolescence and family. However, after further analyses carried out, CSA with the Office of the Attorney General defined that the main need was to strengthen the entity to have a better understanding of the migration issues in the country, based on its competences at the national and local levels. Based on the above, progress was made in the preparation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which objective is to establish a framework of cooperation and understanding, facilitating collaboration among the Parties, to promote their common goals and objectives in the context of migration phenomena in Colombia. Special emphasis will be given to the defence and promotion of the human rights of migrants and host communities; the defence and promotion of orderly migration; territorial development; the fight against human trafficking and smuggling, as well as dignified living conditions, with ethnic and gender approaches. This MoU will be based on a non-exclusivity clause. It is expected to have the MoU signed in January 2019 since the final approval by the Attorney General's Office is still pending and it is required to advance on the definition of the technical and financial supports that would be given from CSA to the Attorney General’s Office. The support provided to the Attorney General's Office will be prioritized by phases and will include the dissemination of the Preventive Surveillance of Trafficking in Persons model, as it will strengthen the capacities of attorneys to combat human trafficking. As part of this component, MFA provided support in the implementation of an awareness-raising strategy to promote orderly migration and to prevent irregular migration in the territories prioritized by CSA. In partnership with MFA, the design and implementation of a pilot workshop on migration with mass media took place. Component 3: Health 3.2 Targeted populations (including Venezuelans, Colombo-Venezuelans, Colombian returnees and receiving communities) provided with basic healthcare. Under the third component of the project, the project seeks to strengthen capacities of territorial entities and its network of health services (public hospitals at departmental or municipal levels), to provide health services to Venezuelan migrants and Colombian returnees from Venezuela. Migration inflows from Venezuela exacerbates the problems of the Colombian health system in its capacity to provide adequate responses to guarantee the access / coverage in health, especially to migrant population who do not have health coverage.


Under the framework of the Health Sector Response Plan, from the Ministry of Health (MoH), the project seeks to strengthen the technical and financial capacities of territorial entities and public hospitals to provide health services to Venezuelan migrants, Colombian returnees from Venezuela and host communities. In 2018 there was an increase in the registration to participate in the Events of Interest in Public Heath (EISP) initiative promoted by the National Health Institute. Venezuelan migrants had a higher share compared with the same population in 2017. Areas such as malaria, dengue, tuberculosis, low birth weight, extreme maternal morbidity, acute malnutrition in children under 5 years old and gender violence, were the main aspects addressed in the territories prioritized by the project. The activities of the Health component within the CSA project are oriented to the institutional and community strengthening at the local level for the provision of healthcare. These activities consist of the execution of extramural health days (EHD), the training of human resources and community leaders in health issues, the implementation of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) strategies for the promotion of health and disease prevention, the creation of community networks for public health surveillance and the support that will be provided to the national government in the construction of public health and migration policy. The principal achievements during the reporting period were:

• Project socialization workshops took place at the national and territorial levels to coordinate project actions and the identification of health partners.

• In coordination with the local public hospitals and the territorial entities of the prioritized municipalities, EHD were held, where primary health care services were offered, including general practice, dentistry, prenatal care, vaccination, growth and development, nutrition, psychology, as well as specialized gynaecological care for pregnant women.

• In the development of the extramural health days several institutions participated such as: departmental and municipal health secretariats, host communities, UN agencies, NGO’s and institutions from other sectors such as Police, Civil Defence, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Municipal Attorneys, National Civil Registry, among others.

As to the differential approach, in the extramural sessions, 7,155 people received assistance: 3,397 women, 1,418 men, 1,155 girls and 1,185 boys. In the process of scheduling the extramural health days, priority was given to the assistance of women, pregnant women, boys, girls and adolescents in vulnerable conditions, providing care under the differential approach, and according to the moment of their life cycle. However, the attention was given to the total of the consulting population.


4. CONCLUSIONS

Challenges and priorities Regarding friendly spaces, one of the challenges identified during this reporting period was the uncertainty of the possible response that government officials, operators, business people, and other personnel working at the transport terminal and the host community operators could provide about the project. ICBF requested technical assistance in issues related to migration and childhood. To address this situation, both the sessions to raise awareness and the invitation made to boys, girls and adolescents to be active participants in the project, resulted in safer spaces for this population, empowering them in the territory. Another challenge was to have articulated actions between counterparts, governments, cooperation agencies, and NGOs at national and international levels. This was achieved through meetings on regular basis to evaluate project advances. Also, permanent communication via e-mail and through other technological means to comment about unexpected situations, difficulties and the corrective actions that should take place in those scenarios. Something that also contributed to the articulated actions was the recognition and acceptance of the roles of the different participants and the importance of maintaining the same staff in the advisory table to assure continuity with the actions and agreements. As to the health component of the project, one of the challenges will be to convert the strategy of the extramural health days into an inter-institutional, intersectoral, regular and sustainable process, with a differential approach, led by government authorities, and providing responses to the health needs of the host communities and migrant population, based on lessons learned from the project. It would be necessary to improve the monitoring of care provided in extramural health days, to obtain and analyze disaggregated information, which will allow the identification of the health care needs of the migrant population, as well as the identification of the opportunities for institutional articulation to address them. Also, it would be necessary to design evaluation mechanisms of the inter-institutional work and the activities developed by the different partners in the development of the extramural health sessions, guiding the joint actions to improve the access to health services by the vulnerable population.

Lessons learned As to the activities under the health component, the following were some lessons learned:

• Extramural health days are an effective strategy to provide immediate response on the needs of the migrant population.

• It is strategic to conduct health days with local hospitals as they are technically and financially strengthened to assist the Venezuelan migrant population.


• Establishing a road map for the assistance of migrant population during the extramural health days allowed greater coverage and access to promotion and prevention services.

• It is essential to continue working with the Ministry of Health, Departmental, Municipal, Mayor's Office and other sectors to ensure comprehensive care for the migrant population.

• The success of the extramural health days depends on the permanent presence of a human resource that leads its planning and convene sectoral and intersectoral actors to articulate and accompany its development. In this case, the permanent support of the CSA national and local teams, and its broad experience with coordinated activities with the territorial entities was essential.

Sustainability As to the friendly spaces, the Mayor's Office of Riohacha and Maicao, as well as the governor of La Guajira in coordination with national and regional ICBF offices, ratified the continued support to each of the emergency assistance modalities at technical, operational and financial levels. This support will be provided during a six-month period while each of the operating entities get their operating licenses which are provided by this entity. Similarly, in the case of Barranquilla, each of the actions will be coordinated with the governorship and the local mayor's office, as well as with ICBF to monitor the activities and to provide accompaniment to guarantee of the rights of the Venezuelan migrant population. Regarding the health component, all hospitals supported by CSA for the development of extramural health days, have given as basic medicines and have performed diagnostic tests on pregnant women. The extramural health days have been articulated with the educational interventions financed by the Collective Interventions Plan of the municipal and departmental health Secretariats. The articulated execution of the extramural health days with public hospitals has proven to be a cost-effective strategy for the attention of vulnerable population.

Priorities for the next quarter For the friendly spaces, the priorities will be the following:

• Within the framework of the Migrant and Refugee Children's Bureau to provide technical support to start-up the Maicao (La Guajira) Transit Center.

• Follow up on the operation licenses that will be provided by the ICBF to Significarte and Renacer Foundations to strengthen their institutional capacities.

• Implement the different modalities of attention of migrant children and adolescents in Barranquilla (Atlántico).

Regarding the health component, CSA has established contact with the local hospitals to do individual registration of people who received services during the extramural health days; however, there are challenges for the analysis of information and monitoring of patients who at the registration stage do not have identification documents (adults and minors). During the execution of the CSA project, local


capacity will be strengthened for the registration of people who do not have identification documents and their subsequent referral to the health system and to the existing intersectoral offer will be performed. The priority for the next quarter will be to consolidate a cooperation agenda with the territorial entities, to guarantee the execution of the extramural health days. As to the registration process and in case of a significant increase of the migratory flows from Venezuela, actions will be conducted to have an articulated response with temporary shelters, food, Non-Food Items (NFI) and transportation not only for migrants, but also for people in transit. As to the Rumichaca port of entry in Nariño, subsequent meetings with Migración Colombia to analyze the implementation of the biometric equipment will be coordinated. This will provide mechanisms to facilitate the exchange of information between the countries of the region. Regarding the Childhood Observatory promoted by ICBF, CSA will contribute with the generation of reports to favour the decision-making process. Meetings to identify the needs will be undertaken to prioritize the actions. In close coordination with UNODC, CSA will schedule meetings to identify the specific support that will be provided to the Border Manager who works with office of the Vice president. UNODC have provided some staff and once the Border Manager identifies new requirements, IOM will hire the required staff. CSA will continue working with Semana Magazine which launched the Venezuela Migration Project which is a multimedia platform for journalists aimed to analyse the Venezuelan migration flows. This will allow the identification of joint activities. CSA will continue to strengthen the response through the Agency Work Group on Mixed Migratory Flows (IAWGMMF) as well as with UN stakeholders and international NGOs. To date, three meetings have been held to define the national and territorial strategy and in the next quarter the defined actions will be monitored and adjusted accordingly. At a general level, the actions have been focused on technical meetings to identify actions in the different components. The budget adjustments for the Livelihoods component required to redefine the implementation schedules.
