Participation National Board (MNPEV) with online encounters and for the design and execution
of its digital communication plan.
Intermediate Result 2: Within the support for the improvement of psychosocial and
community rehabilitation services, VISP begun to implement a Comprehensive Care Strategy
which includes an emotional care component and a care within self-protection actions with 10
national organizations in Chocó, Nariño, Antioquia, Cundinamarca and Cordoba. VISP also closed
La Comadre’s Emotional Care Strategy with 10 emotional care and healing virtual sessions and 7
transfer sessions with afro descendent women from different regions, Also, within the pilot
process of the National Rehabilitation Plan’s third line (the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Strategy
for Coexistence and Non-repetition), VISP organized three groups (with 18 members each) to
participate in the municipalities of San Juan de Nepomuceno and San Jacinto, Bolívar. In addition,
within the PASIVI’S qualification process, three municipalities were selected to implement the
rural module. Finally, based on the Program’s efforts to promote victims’ access to quality physical
rehabilitation services, construction plans in Pradera, Valle del Cauca; Ricaurte, Nariño; Rosario, Nariño; and Tibú, Norte de Santander’s hospitals were approved.
Intermediate Result 3: Last quarter, VISP began the follow-up phase within the socioeconomic
strengthening process of the 6 target conflict survivors’ organizations. The Program also led an
online event to disseminate the project’s results, launched a website with testimonies, podcasts
and learned lessons and disseminated a social media campaign under the #HaciendoCampo. VISP
also started the second phase of the organizational strengthening process with Narrar para Vivir,
a women’s foundation located in Montes de Maria. Similarly, within the Public Employment
Service’s Victims’ Labor Inclusion Model, 65 small, medium, and large companies continue to
participate and the initiative has achieved 931 labor engagements in 20 departments.
Also, the Program continued to support the Victims Unit’s Returns and Relocations Strategy by
analyzing alternatives to include the food security approach in Special Accompaniment Schemes.
Some 1,516 income generation actions were analyzed. In addition, VISP continued to support the
ART in the design and execution of pillar 8 PDET initiatives with 47 initiatives characterized and
designed in VISP’s subregions, and by promoting and strengthening the participation of ethnic
authorities’ in PDET ethnic initiatives. Finally, VISP supported the DNP and the Victims Unit to
prepare and disseminated the draft of the CONPES document about the National Plan for
Victims’ Attention and Integral Reparation.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 8
Intermediate Result 4: VISP continued supporting the Truth Commission´s Ethnic Directorate
in the elaboration of the ethnic chapter. The Program also did the review, hearing, and
transcription of 102 interviews, including testimonies of members of the National Afro-
Colombian Peace Council (CONPA, Spanish an Afro-descendant organization) gathered in Cauca,
Chocó and the Caribbean region. The Program also began the second phase of the project to
support the Female Leaders and Human Rights’ Defenders’ Guarantees Board. The Public Ministry,
the board’s members, the Ministry of Interior and the Ombudsman’s Office met and discussed
about the General Assembly’s results, the Comprehensive Guarantees Plan’s (PIG, Spanish
acronym) action plan progress, and the women leader’s security situation in Sucre. Also, within
the territorial deployment of the Comprehensive Guarantees System for Women Leaders and
Human Rights Defenders in Chocó, 51 female leaders participated in 5 workshops to socialize
Choco’s PIG’s and promote participation.
Finally, VISP begun to execute the second phase of this project aimed at providing technical
support to the National Protection Unit (UNP, Spanish acronym) to appropriate the differential approaches, specifically the ethnic and gender approaches. Also, a new project was started to
increase the capacity of 40 indigenous and peasant women victims’ in Caldono and Popayán,
Cauca from restorative perspective to rights.
Intermediate Result 5: In the last quarter, VISP continued supporting the UBPD to comply
with is mandate in areas such as the implementation of the National Search Plan and the Regional
Searching Plans, the definition of the Universe of Disappeared People in Colombia, the search in
rivers and water bodies, the pedagogy and communication strategy, and the emotional care
strategy. Meetings with 16 GOC entities and 8 civil society organizations were held with key
actors for the Plan’s implementation, and 138 actors (whose mission is related with searching for
disappeared persons) were mapped. Also, 4 workshops with 165 participants including relatives
of disappeared persons, UBPD´s officers, and civil society organizations were held within the
“Circles of Knowledge” Pedagogy strategy. Communication pieces were produced and
disseminated about the entity’s mandate; and to support the information process with victims’
abroad.
During the reporting period, VISP continued providing support to the Truth Commission for the
finalization and dissemination of the Final Report, the participatory truth clarification about the
practice of illicit recruitment and use of children and adolescents in the context of the armed,
and the identification of reconciliation and peacebuilding initiatives. VISP hired 28 consults to
support the Final Report’s last phase, and, especially, its dissemination and legacy strategy. Also,
last quarter, VISP and the Instituto de Ciencia Política Hernán Echavarría Olózaga (ICP, Spanish
acronym), concluded the project’s inception phase of the project to prepare a truth report on
the practice of illicit recruitment and use of children and adolescents in the context of the armed
conflict in Colombia. Similarly, VISP supported “Mambrú, los niños no van a la guerra” (an
organization working for victims of forced recruitment) in the elaboration of a truth report to
be presented before the SIVJRN entities. Finally, jointly with Mujer Arte y Vida Foundation (MAVI,
Spanish acronym), VISP begun the research process about coexistence and peacebuilding
experiences in Antioquia, Cauca, and Nariño departments, to be transferred to the Truth
Commission. As a result, 20 initiatives were identified in the territories. Furthermore, 12 of these initiatives were prioritized for communication pieces.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 9
2. CONTEXT
The first quarter of 2021was marked by the extension for ten years of the Victims Law. On
January 8th, the Colombian government issued the Law 2078 of 2021 extending for the period
of enforcement of Law 1448 of 2011 and the Ethnic Decrees 4633 of 2011, 4634 of 2011, and
4635 of 2011. The purpose of the extension is to guarantee effective and comprehensive attention
and reparation to 9.1 million conflict victims. This historic decision, which gives continuity to the
Victims Public Policy, is the result of a joint effort of the Victims Unit and the National Planning
Department. During the law’s extension discussion process, VISP supported both institutions in
the preparation of inputs (judicial, technical, and financial) that were presented before the
Congress of the Republic.
The quarter was also marked by the call for the registration process for victims’ organizations,
organizations for the defense of victims' rights and collective reparation subjects’ impulse committees to propose their representatives to form the victims’ effective participation boards
at the municipal, departmental, and national levels according to the different victimizing acts. The
registration process closed on March elections will be held between August and November, and
representatives will be elected for the period 2021-2023. The Program is supporting election
process in VISP target municipalities such as Caquetá. Over the years, USAID VISP Program has
supported the election process, by means of which over 27.000 victims participate in policy
making and implementing.
Moreover, during the Plenary of the National Board for Victims Effective Participation, held on
March, the Ministry of Work informed about its Comprehensive Employment, which aims to
create self-employment in rural areas and offer job training. In line with this effort, during the
quarter, USAID´s VISP Program continued to advance with the Public Employment Service and
the Ministry of Work to create job opportunities and training for 1.300 victims in the Colombian
territory.
On the other hand, last quarter was marked by the advancement of the Peace Agreement’s
implementation with the Unit to Search for Disappeared Persons progressing on the identification
of the universe of disappeared people in Colombia, and the execution of actions within the
National Search Plan and regional search plans. In that sense, thanks to an alliance with the
Attorney General's Office, which enabled the review of over 150.000 non-digitalized files, the
UBPD found the lead in 1724 cases. The alliance is part of the entity’s effort to create synergies
with other institutions to find over 120.000 disappeared people. The UBPD also found 104 human
remains of conflict victims in La Dolorosa Cemetery, in Puerto Berrío, Antioquia as result of a
coordination with the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) within the execution of Antioquia’s
Regional Search Plan.
In addition, on February, the UBPD informed about its advances on the searching process of 760
persons who were recruited during the Colombian conflict and their whereabouts are still
unknown. The UBPD has been able to determine that the 81% of these persons were recruited
as children or adolescents. Finally, by the end of the quarter, 16 of the 24 Regional Search Plans
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 10
were in progress, while the rest was in construction. Regionally the UBPD also advanced in
awareness and dissemination campaigns related to the entity’s mandate.
Similarly, on the first quarter of 2021, the Truth Commission continued to advance on the
preparation of its Final Report with the participation of different sectors. In February, the
Commission ratified its commitment to victims in exile by performing a truth encounter named
“Recognizing the exile in Colombian borders”. During the event, the Commission informed that
it has collected 1600 testimonies from individuals and families that were forced to flee the country
because of conflict. Also, on the same month, the Commission held a dialogue with journalists
and media representatives as part of its strategy to promote their participation in the truth´s
clarification process. A group of reporters from regional and national media joined to analyze the
impact of violence on the right to a free expression, the right to be informed, and the
development of their journalistic activity.
However, the beginning of the year was also marked by the continuity of the concern about the security of social leaders and human rights defenders in the country. On January 18th, social
leaders and Human Rights’ defenders of El Salado, Bolivar informed to the public opinion about
life-threats they had received. On the same month, different NGO’s, such as INDEPAZ, alerted
about the violence against social leaders in the first days of 2021. On its side, the UN mission in
Colombia presented on January 21st its quarterly report before Security Council. The document
highlighted the Peace Agreement’s main achievements and indicated its most urgent tasks.
According to the report, violence against ex-combatants, leaders, Human Rights defenders, and
communities still represents the greatest threat to peacebuilding in the country and should be
one of the priorities for successful implementation. In that sense, over the last years, VISP has
supported the Public Ministry and the Ministry of Interior to perform prevention actions against
human rights’ violations and on the design a National Policy for the Defense of Human Rights’
Leaders and Defenders, respectively. VISP has also worked with the National Protection Unit
(UNP) on the creation of differential attention routes for people in need of protection. The
Program also works directly with human rights leaders (particularly women) in the territory to
promote protection, self-care actions, advocacy, and economic empowerment. The Program
currently supports the female-leaders guarantees board in Montes de María and Chocó.

Institutional Strengthening Model of Territorial Entities. Last quarter, VISP continued supporting
the implementation of the Institutional Strengthening Model of Territorial Entities (MEETT,
Spanish Acronym) on target municipalities. In that sense, VISP made progress on the execution
of the Nineth Phase of the MEETT strengthening the capacities of the 10 focalized territorial entities (See table below), based on their corresponding needs’ assessments.

To date, VISP has reached a 70% progress on the nineth phase’s work plan, and has achieved the
following results:
• Delivery of adequations and locative arrangements to 5 territorial entities.
• Implementation of the project´s support and sustainability strategy to maintain the level of
appropriation of the technical knowledge acquired by government officials in target
municipalities.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 12
• Implementation of the communications strategy aimed at disseminating the results achieved.
Communication pieces and contents have been posted in the social media (Twitter,
Instagram, and Facebook) of the MOI and OIM with the #ReparandoDesdeElTerritorio.
On the other hand, during this quarter, VISP performed the results’ verification of the MEETT´s
Phase 7. This verification aimed to identify the appropriation of the knowledge transferred to the
focalized municipalities regarding the Victims Public Policy and the variation in their capacities
after the strengthening process performed by VISP (See table).

Management 33,3 68,8 35,5 106,6
Articulation 57,2 78,1 20,9 36,6
As presented above, there was a general increase (improvement) in the four (4) measured
capacities, with a deviation margin of 40.4 points between the capacity that registered the greatest
increase (Administrative capacity = 54.2) and the one with the lowest increase (Technical capacity
= 13.8). It is worth highlighting that the administrative capacity registered a 144.4% variation in
relation with the strengthened entities’ initial capacities (baseline).
Victims Organizations Strengthening Model: During the last quarter, VIPS started providing
technical support to five (5) victims’ organizations to improve their administrative and technical
capacities. For this purpose, VISP carried out individual and specific training processes depending
on the organizations’ productive activities. To date, VISP has provided technical assistance
regarding Victims' Public Policy and office tools to all the focalized organizations. The
strengthening process is expected to be completed by April 2021. The selected organizations are
listed below in Table 3.

Respect and Guarantees for Human Rights’ Defense Work Public Policy. Regarding VISP´s
support for the Respect and Guarantees for Human Rights’ Defense Public Policy, during this
period, VISP contributed to the deployment of the Policy’s Short-term Action Plan. Therefore,
the Program started reviewing 17 municipal risk mitigation diagnoses to establish a baseline that
allows the definition and implementation of municipal, departmental, regional, and/or national risk
prevention and mitigation actions in the focalized municipalities (listed below-Table 4).

Human Rights’ National Plan. Concerning the support provided by VISP to the Presidential
Council for Human Rights for the design of the Human Rights’ National Plan (PNADDHH, Spanish acronym), during this quarter, VISP begun the institutional strengthening process for the
document’s drafting process. Within this project, VISP will accompany the entity to implement
dialogue and feedback spaces for discussing the plan’s actions, its scope, and thematic axes with
civil society organizations, social leaders, Human Rights’ defenders, people with disabilities,
religious communities, ethnic communities, among other target groups. In this regard, VISP
advanced in the methodological design of 33 participation spaces and 8 regional workshops for
the Plan´s formulation. These activities will be developed jointly with the Presidential Council for
Human Rights, El Rosario University, and the Más por Tic Foundation, as project’s strategic
partners.
In addition, VISP made progress in the definition of the key messages and content to be included
in the communication pieces (social media), which are part of the Human Rights National Plan’s
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 14
communication strategy. During the reporting period, the Program prepared a content-grill for
partners and stakeholders. In the upcoming months audiovisual pieces and press-releases will be
published to inform about the progress in the HR National Plan drafting process.
1.1.2. Strengthen the capacity of local governments and victims' organizations to
implement the Victims’ Law by executing rapid actions’ projects in the
territories.
Last quarter, VISP continued to strengthen the capacity of local governments and victims'
organizations to implement the Victims’ Law by executing Rapid Actions’ projects in the
territories. The main local results are presented below:
• In Caquetá, VISP provided operational accompaniment and technical advice for victims´
participation (registration and election process) within the Vicitms’ Effective Participation
Boards. Additionally, the Program supported the Governorate, the Victims Unit, and the
Ombudsman’s territorial offices to disseminate information to victims´ organization and
Human Rights defenders’ organizations registration for the upcoming elections.
• In Córdoba, VISP supported the local Victims Effective Participation Board for promoting
and disseminating the Participation Protocol in 24 municipalities. The action aims at increasing
the participation of local victims and Human Rights defenders’ organizations before the
Public Ministry. This process concluded on March 31st, 2021. Also, in Tierralta, Córdoba -within the support provided to the Governorate’s Secretariat and Victims Assistance
Office- VISP continued to accompany the Karakaradó community’s process to file a formal
request before the municipal government for their return and relocation process. Likewise,
progress was made in the census of the community’s families that would be part of the
process.
Formulation of social and community infrastructure projects to contribute with PDET initiatives.
During this quarter VISP continued supporting the Victims Unit´s Interinstitutional Management
Directorate in the design and formulation of social and/or community infrastructure projects that
contribute to the fulfillment of reparation measures within the scope of PDET initiatives. These
projects, once formulated, are expected to be presented to OCAD Paz for their review, approval,
and financing.
For this purpose, articulation meetings with 16 territorial entities were held to advance in the
formulation and gather the required documentation for proving the property rights and
ownership of the entities over the fields that would be intervened. The entities we have being
working with are located in Norte de Santander, Bolívar, Sucre, Antioquia, Chocó, Urabá, Cauca,
Nariño, Valle, Putumayo, Cesar, Magdalena, Magdalena Medio, Caquetá, Meta, and Córdoba.
These infrastructure projects aim to build Centers for Comprehensive Reconciliation,
Coexistence, Peacebuilding (CIRCCP, Spanish acronym) or “Two-level multifunctional
constructions” that seek to contribute to more than one PDET initiative with the same type of
infrastructure.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 15
Finally, to continue with this project, the team was divided in five groups, based on the location
of the interventions. On the upcoming months the goal is to begin with the onsite evaluation of
the fields to complete the formulation process and proceed with the presentation of the
formulated projects to OCAD Paz.
Support for the implementation of the Participation Protocol and the Victim´s Effective
Participation Boards local elections. Within this project VISP continued working to outreach the
Participation Protocol by promoting among the various actors involved (including the Victims
Unit, Victims´ Organizations, the Public Ministry, and territorial entities) leadership, motivation,
and participation skills which are the pillars for the election of the victims' effective participation
boards.
Likewise, VISP accompanied an online workshop directed to local ombudsmen officers
concerning the strategy for closing the inscription process for the victims´ boards elections, which
closed on March 31, 2021, and a lecture about leadership. This last event counted with the assistance of 450 participants and was promoted by the Victims Unit, the Ombudsman´s Office,
the General Attorney´s Office, and the National Ombudsman Federation.
Finally, the support provided by the Program comprehends the use and transfer of technological
and pedagogical tools, so that at the end of the project the entities have audiovisual pieces and
lectures to facilitate the understanding in a clear manner of the Participation Protocol and the
strategies for its implementation.
Sub-Intermediate Result 1.2: Victims Law implementation effectively
communicated by the GOC
1.2.1. Support and promote communication initiatives by the Victims’ Effective
Participation National Board.
During the reporting period, VISP continued supporting the Victims Unit and the Victims’
Effective Participation National Board (MNPEV, Spanish acronym) to strengthen its
communication management by implementing the communication strategy: "Digital Boards:
Impact Voices of the National Victims’ Effective Participation Board (MNPEV)".
Within this strategy last quarter eight (8) online encounters took place aimed at developing two
workshops described below:
1. Introduction to digital communication, audience identification, and public speaking. In this
workshop the actors, digital assets, and audiences of the MNPEV to whom the Co-
creating communication strategy will be directed were identified and defined. In addition,
the delegates of the communications subcommittee of the National Board participated in
the first training on speech and leadership, learned basic design concepts and how to use
digital content creation tools for “non-designers”.
2. “Co-creando” a digital communication strategy for the Victims’ Effective Participation National Board. During this workshop the use of digital tools and social platforms for
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 16
interacting with target audiences were addressed in detail. Besides the online meetings,
an on-site event was held between March10 to12 in Bogotá D.C. with the delegates of
the MNPEV´s communications subcommittee. During these spaces a content grid was co-
created based on the strategic inputs of the work sessions aimed at complementing the
communication strategy of the Digital Table (#MesaDigital).
Likewise, a communication plan
was developed to disseminate the
content of the strategy and the
development and prototyping of
the five (5) pieces of digital
communication began (the
prototypes are shown below).
Finally, a one-to-one coaching
session was carried out with the MNPEV´s Coordinator focused on
the interview as an image and role
management tool.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 17
On the other hand, during the National Board´s plenary meeting on March 18, 2021, held in
Bogotá, D.C., the Communications Subcommittee presented the digital strategy Co-Creando
(Co-Creating) which seeks to outreach the Board´s mission and achievements through messages
that show the delegates´ work in all the national territory and also present how victims and
citizens in general can access to relevant information through its platforms, which includes
pedagogical tools and uses inclusive language. During the Board´s plenary session Co- Creando
strategy was approved, as well as the 5 communication pieces presented, and autonomy for the
creation and dissemination of communication pieces was granted to the Communications
Subcommittee.
1.2.1. Support and promote peace building and reconciliation processes.
During this quarter, VISP begun providing technical support to the Ombudsman´s Office to strengthen the Delegate for Victims in the development and implementation of conceptual and
methodological tools for citizen and community appropriation of the peace-building and
reconciliation processes implicit in the implementation of the peace agreement. Therefore, in the
reporting period the first articulation and coordination actions were carried out between the
entity and the Program to begin with the design, development, and implementation of a
pedagogical and dissemination strategy on the victims' rights within the transition towards peace
and transitional justice. This project comprehends the production and dissemination of
audiovisual and radio pieces and the development of a virtual course.

policies for victims
Regarding the inputs for the Victims' Law renewal, and in support of the Victims Unit, three
documents were drafted and delivered by VISP, related to the Decrees-Law 4633, 4634 and 4635
of 2011. The first document establishes the actions to be carried out by the entities involved in
the implementation of those Decrees-Law. The second, contains the drafts of the Decree-Laws
based on the information provided by Victims Unit; and the third, is a draft of ethnic law decrees’
balance that includes information of the competent entities. These documents are key inputs for
the Victims Unit in the context of the Victims Law and the ethnic law decrees 10-year renewal.
Intermediate Result 2: Comprehensive rehabilitation services for victims’ physical
and mental wellbeing
Sub-Intermediate Result 2.1: GOC psychosocial and community rehabilitation
services improved
2.1.1 Development, inclusion and strengthening of strategies for psychosocial care
and rehabilitation, with differential approaches, with GOC entities and
victims' organizations
Within the support provided to the GOC and the SVJRNR to advance emotional care strategies
and to mainstream the psychosocial approach; technically and operationally improve psychosocial
rehabilitation strategies at the individual and community level, VISP begun the three impact
evaluation processes of the Victims Unit’s Entrelazando, the Group Emotional Recovery
Strategy (EREG, Spanish Acronym) and the Emotional Recovery Strategy for Ethnic Communities and
Collectives. During the reporting period, VISP designed the impact-evaluation methodology for
Entrelazando’s assessment; the monitoring and follow-up system for collective psychosocial
rehabilitation strategies; and the methodological model for the systematization process of
Bojaya’s human remains’ delivery process. The Program also designed the Value Chain Process
and sampling frame for the EREG’s evaluation process.
In addition, within the activities to build and implement a comprehensive care strategy aimed at
victims' organizations, social and community leaders, and human rights defenders, VISP begun to
implement a Comprehensive Care Strategy, which includes the emotional care component and
the care within self-protection actions, targeting ten national organizations. The prioritized
organizations are located in Chocó; Nariño; Antioquia; Cundinamarca; Cordoba.

During the reporting period, VISP performed a needs’ assessment which enabled the Program to
refine, strengthen and validate the Comprehensive Care Strategy’s technical and methodological
aspects. Within the Strategy, the Program also supported local care actions with 16 organizations
in Cauca (located in Popayán Caldono, Miranda and Buenos Aires) such as “Pazarte el derecho”,
Mano amiga Asociation, Tamboreras del Cauca, ACIN, Diversity Board, etc.) and with Montes
de Maria’s Impulse Committee, contributing to emotional discharge and containment.
In addition, during the reporting period, VISP closed the Emotional Care Strategy with La Comadre
(afro descendent victims’ organization). A total of 10 emotional care and healing virtual sessions
were held with 14 women from different regions; one final on-site closing event; and 7 transfer
sessions with the participation of 15 women members of the organization. As a result, the
organization improved its capacity to identify and directly implement care spaces, as fundamental
healing mechanisms which contribute to the organization’s strengthening. The transfer sessions,
held as part of the project’s sustainability strategy, were held in Quibdó, Tumaco, Cali,
Barrancabermeja, Cartagena, Soacha and Villavicencio.
2.1.2. Pilot of line 3 of the National Rehabilitation Plan (the Psychosocial
Rehabilitation Strategy for coexistence and non-repetition.
During the last quarter, VISP continued to support the implementation of the Peace Agreement’s
Fifth Point, the National Rehabilitation Plan for Coexistence and Non-repetition, and the piloting
of the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Strategy for Coexistence and Non-repetition in San Juan de
Nepomuceno and San Jacinto, Bolívar. In that sense, VISP held a face-to-face training with the
Community Action Team responsible for the Strategy’s execution, determined the differential
groups that will participate, and begun the characterization phase. A total of three groups (with
18 members each) were organized in each municipality, as presented on the next table:

VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 21
the Fifth Point of the Peace Agreement. The project’s learned lessons will be transferred to the
Ministry of Health and the Presidential Council for Stabilization to adjust the Strategy for its
future implementation in other PDET municipalities.
2.1.3. Qualification of the Program of Psychosocial Care and Comprehensive Health
for Victims of the Conflict - PAPSIVI - (built in conjunction with MOH)
As part of the support provided by VISP for the validation of the PAPSIVI’s rural and ethnic
strategy, the Program selected the three municipalities where the rural module will be
implemented, namely: Balboa (Cauca), Mutata (Urabá), and Turbó (Urabá). The Program held
virtual training sessions with the team of professionals responsible of the implementation and
drafted and delivered an adjustment proposal for the PAPSIVI’s ethnic modules, which is currently
under technical review by the MOH and IOM. The evaluation of the PAPSIVI’s ethnic modules
aims to identify gaps, bottlenecks and opportunities to be transferred to the MOH so that it can
prepare an improvement action plan, aim at qualifying the methodology and tools for ethnic groups’ psychosocial attention. The recommendations and adjustments identified will also be
included in final version for national implementation to bring psychosocial attention and access
to rehabilitation to rural and disperse communities affected by the conflict.
On the other hand, the Program also held 4 bilateral meetings with key actors of the education
sector such as (San Buenaventura and La Salle Universities, and the Colombian Association of
Medicine) aiming to coordinate the piloting process of the Papsivi’s virtual course, and the
implementation of a training route which will enable public universities, National Learning Service
and other education institutions to support the MOH on the delivery of regional and local
trainings, thus contributing to the decentralization and local implementation of Papsivi, thus
increasing the number of professionals with psychosocial knowledge in the regions.
Sub-Intermediate Result 2.2: GOC physical rehabilitation services improved
2.2.1. Design tools for differential attention and rehabilitation for victims with
disabilities.
Within the Disability Certification Pilot’s project, during this quarter, VISP advanced the drafting
process of the content of the online course for the certification process, consisting of four
modules, as follows: 1) Introduction; 2) functioning, health and disability international
classification; 3) use of the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS); and 4)
environmental factors. The course facilitates massive access and increases the number of health
professionals qualified to deliver the certification and to provide attention to potential
beneficiaries. The course targets interdisciplinary health teams in rural and remote locations.
In addition, during the last quarter, VISP and the Ministry of Health developed a digital tool, which
facilitates the registration process of Health-Care institutions (hospitals and municipal and
departmental health secretariats) in the MOH’s platform to perform the certification process.
Thus, the new virtual tool advances municipal and departmental capacities for the disability certification process by improving information flow and tracking, and by minimizing errors.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 22
VISP also delivered to the MOH a methodological strategy (with an analysis and a step-by step)
which aims to increase the access of people with disabilities to the Health Care System. Currently
PwD’s access to Health Care insurance is 25% lower than the general population. The strategy
aims to work with different actors of the Health Care System (improving identification and
registration through the contributory or subsidized regimes) to increase this access in 10%,
reducing the exclusion gap of this population in access to health care services, including
rehabilitation services.
2.2.2. Promote victims’ access to quality physical rehabilitation services
Last quarter, VISP continued providing support and technical assistance to low and medium
complexity hospitals in prioritized municipalities for the provision of quality rehabilitation services
advancing on the implementation of the third phase of project for Set-up and Strengthening of
Rehabilitation Services in Colombia. The main achievements are listed below:
• VISP and the MOH socialized the Project for Set-up and Strengthening of Rehabilitation
Services in Colombia in Phase III with territorial-level stakeholders: Health Secretaries,
Majors’ Offices and Hospital Managers (of Amalfi, Antioquia; Tolu Viejo, Sucre; Rosario and
Ricaurte in Nariño; Tibu, Norte de Santander; Manaure, Cesar; Dibulla, La Guajira and
Pradera, Valle del Cauca. This Hospitals also signed a Memorandum of Understanding
committing to actively participate in the implementation process of rehabilitation services,
thus marking the beginning of joint effort to provide these services to their communities.
• Hospitals of Pradera, Ricaurte, Rosario and Tibu have construction plans for their functional
and psychosocial rehabilitation areas approved by physicians and architects.
• VISP also advanced the identification of quantitative and qualitative analysis instruments for
the rehabilitation needs assessment in Phase III targeted territories to be performed with
regional universities, based on the progress made with Universidad del Rosario.
• The Program continued to advance the execution of the strengthening plan of Phase I and II target municipalities on strategic marketing of rehabilitation services, monitoring and
inclusion of the biopsychosocial approach in health care services along with the family and
community approaches.
In reference to the inter-institutional articulation with guilds and academia, VIS made progress on
the contents for three virtual training courses. The first one, is on “Differential Health Care for
people with disabilities”; the second is about “Rehabilitation services marketing”, and the third,
is the “Cerebral Palsy Course” in partnership with the International Red Cross. These courses
will be available on the second semester of 2021.
The Program also defined the research themes1 to be considered for support with the Colombian
Physiotherapy Association’s (ASCOFI, Spanish Acronym)). The call for proposals -focused on low
complexity services- will be open for professional research groups, teachers, and students in
rehabilitation disciplines. With ASCOFI, VISP also advanced on the definition of a methodology
1 Provision and Management of Rehabilitation Services, Collective Actions in Health and Rehabilitation, Financing of
Rehabilitation Services, Human Talent and Rehabilitation, and Clinical Research.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 23
for the rehabilitation project’s systematization process which will result in the identification of
learned lessons and a knowledge management information.
Sub-Intermediate Result 2.3: Access to Rehabilitation
During the reporting period, VISP advanced on the methodological design to identify and
prioritize comprehensive rehabilitation routes (on education, culture, sports and employment)
that complement the health care offer for people with disabilities. This action is performed jointly
with the Presidential Advisor for the Participation of People with Disabilities and Arcangeles
Foundation.

Pilot Strategy for Conflict-Victims’ Economic Stabilization. After closing the associative-
organizational and productive-technical strengthening processes of the six (6) prioritized
organizations, VISP begun the follow up phase within the post-strengthening process. Additionally,
progress was made in the communication strategy for outreaching the results, the institutional
management, and advocacy actions. During last quarter, VISP performed the following actions:
• Perform field visits to the six (6) organizations beginning with the follow-up plan and the
prioritized activities within the project’s sustainability strategy.
• Advance the consolidation of inter-agency partnerships to promote the continuity and
sustainability of the organizations’ productive initiatives. Among the identified allies are the
National Learning Service (SENA, Spanish Acronym), the territorial entities, the Victims
Unit and its territorial offices, and other civil society organizations.
• Meeting with the Public Employment Service (SPE, Spanish Acronym) to socialize the
project’s learned-lessons and recommendations to be considered in future employment
public policy decision making.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 24
• Online event, jointly with Los Andes University, to disseminate the project’s results. The
event included the participation of the SPE, INNpulsa and Territorio Aprendizaje. Over 100
people participated on the Facebook Live broadcast including students, public officers and people responsible of the design and implementation of comprehensive reparation and
national socio-economic development
projects. The event’s recording is
available here, and has already reached
over 1,300 views. (See poster to the

Narrar para Vivir Foundation organizational strengthening. Last quarter, VISP began the second
phase of the organizational strengthening process with this women’s association located in the
region of Montes de María (Sucre and Bolivar departments). The project aims to contribute to
the income generation and self-reliance of the organization and its members. Thus, the goal is
that the organization can use the knowledge, assets, human capital, and experience of its members
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 25
to expand and enhance their productive activities and skills. Once the Program concluded the
needs assessment and defined the income generation opportunities, VISP delivered to the
organization 2 computers, 1 video beam, 2 desks, 2 office chairs.
Therefore, during the reporting period, VISP hired the technical team that will assist the
organization. The Program also visited Narrar para Vivir’s headquarter in San Juan Nepomuceno,
bought the basic endowments required for this phase, and hired an internet service for 12 months
for the organization´s head office. Furthermore, bearing in mind that, under this project, one of
the income generation activities will be the set-up of a “ñame” (type of yucca) crop, VISP hired
the technical team that will assist the crop’s development, advanced in the soil study in the fields
were the crops will be harvested, and bought the required raw materials and supplies. (See images
below).
On the other hand, during the reporting period, the organization informed VISP that it is currently
exploring the possibility of producing traditional clothing (such as t-shirts, uniforms, and shorts)
in the local tailoring rooms, as complementary actions for income generation. The organization
is working on protypes and aims to use the installed capacity acquired during the project’s previous phase, where it was able to produce over 18,750 facemasks.

3.1.2. Support the Implementation of Adjustments to Routes, Protocols, and
Procedures for Comprehensive Reparation.
Return and Relocation Programs: Last quarter, VISP and the Victims Unit identified the need to
complement income generation actions with a food security approach to effectively contribute
to the victims´ overcoming of their vulnerability situation. Over the last year, the Program has
accompanied Special Accompaniment Schemes (EEA, Spanish acronym) focused on income
generation. Therefore, in 2021, VISP is working to include the food security approach in the EEA
that it supports, by promoting income generation productive projects related with agricultural
activities. During the reporting period, VISP analyzed 1,516 income generation actions of 615 are
related to agricultural activities, of these 265 are related to food-security. The evaluation of these
projects will enable the Victims Unit to identify the kind of projects that can articulate both
perspectives to be implemented in the future.
On the other hand, VISP continued supporting the Victims Unit’s Returns and Relocations
Strategy by contributing to the focalization of returns and relocation plans. From the 92 possible
actions in VISP target municipalities, 19 actions were selected bearing in mind that they
contribute, as well, to PDET initiatives and that they could be executed in 2021. (See Table 7 –
Selected R&R strategies). The selected initiatives are expected to benefit over 6.000 people.

Victims Unit’s Returns and Relocation Group. The updated plans correspond to communities in
Dabeiba and Apartadó (Antioquia), Florencia (Caquetá), and Miranda (Cauca). Additionally, VISP
provided technical assistance for the formulation of two (2) plans in Tierralta (Córdoba), one of
which will benefit the Embera Katio Karakarado ethnic community.
Likewise, within the Special
Accompaniment Schemes’ income
generation component, VISP
accompanied the Victims Unit in the
launching of a public tender in 43 PDET
municipalities (including Dabeiba, VISP-
focalizaed) which closed on March 31st,
2021. The tender aims to allow families
in these locations to submit their
initiatives to be eligible for support
under the Special Accompaniment
Schemes strategy.
3.1.3. Support Armed Conflict Victims´ Employability and Labor Inclusion
During the reporting period, VISP and the Public Employment Service (SPE, Spanish Acronym)
continued advancing in the armed Conflict Victim´s Employability and Labor Inclusion Strategy,
and contributing to the economic reactivation companies affected by the COVID 19 pandemic.
Of the 87 proposals received in December from 78 enterprises and equivalent to 2.794 vacancies,
652 small, medium, and large companies (related to the fields of engineering, retail trade, food,
crops, surveillance, among other) continue to participate in the project offering 1,543
employment positions for conflict victims, evidencing the commitment of the private sector with
peace building. To date the project has achieved 931 labor engagements in 20 departments. The
following image show the gender and age disaggregation of the total beneficiary population:
2 Of all the proposals received, some were not approved by the SPE and others, declined the offers due to the economic impact of the pandemic’s third wave in the country.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 28
Finally, during project implementation, the Program has identified that the most frequent barriers
that victims face to enter the labor market are related with training in soft skills, job orientation,
application of psychotechnical tests, among others.
Sub-Intermediate Result 3.2. Access to Reparation Measures
3.2.1 Support the Institutional Adjustments for the implementation of the Victims’

As part of the support provided by VISP to the DNP´s Special Projects Group, the Program
contributed to the dissemination of the CONPES document draft3 with the guidelines for the
goals’ update, budget and follow-up of the National Plan for Victims’ Attention, Assistance and
Comprehensive Reparation. This document was published in the entity´s website on January 22,
2021 so that it could be available for public consultation and comments. Also, during the reporting
period, VISP and the DNP advanced in the analysis of the information and recommendations
received during the CONPES’ draft regional socialization conferences with territorial entities and
local victims´ participation boards.
On the other hand, along with the DNP’s Special Projects’ Group, VISP advanced in the detailed
programming for design of 21 investment projects required to comply with the schedule and
conditions of the Victims Public Policy for the period 2022-2025. Some 85 technical meetings

Implementation of PDET Initiatives.
Last quarter, VISP supported the Territorial Renewal Agency (ART) and the Victims Unit in the
characterization and formulation of PDET initiatives under Pillar 8 to materialize actions in favor
of victims, within the fifth point of the Peace Agreement. Specifically, VISP characterized and
designed 47 eighth pilar PDET initiatives in the 7 subregions focused by the Program.
Furthermore, VISP begun supporting the ART to promote and strengthen the active and effective
participation of the ethnic authorities in the management and implementation of the PDET ethnic
initiatives formulated in Putumayo, Sierra Nevada and Serranía del Perijá, South of Córdoba, Montes de María, and Arauca. A special mechanism, designed by the ART, named Special
Consultation Mechanism, is being used for the participation process.
Intermediate Result 4: Select GOC Institutions and Systems Accommodate the
Specific Needs of Ethnic Groups and Women
Sub-Intermediate Result 4.1 – Select ethnic communities strengthened in their
design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation roles under victim legislation
During the reporting period, VISP continued supporting the Truth Commission´s Ethnic
Directorate in the implementation of the ethnic communities’ protocol and methodology.
Likewise, VISP continued supporting the research process about conflict’s impact on ethnic
communities as a contribution to the entity’s Final Report to be delivered by the end of the year.
In that sense, last quarter, VISP continued providing technical support to transcription, labelling,
and uploading of prioritized interviews to the Commission’s missional information system (SIM,
Spanish Acronym). This quarter, VISP processed 74 interviews that correspond to 7.442
transcribed minutes and labeled 28 interviews, corresponding to 5.518 minutes. Furthermore,
VISP focused its efforts in the review, hearing, and transcription of interviews with the National
Afro-Colombian Peace Council (CONPA) considering the need to include their quotes and
testimonies in the Final Report’s ethnic chapter. More specifically, the Program focused on the
analysis of the testimonies gathered in Cauca, Chocó and the Caribbean region.
On the other hand, regarding the support to Truth Commission’s research process (about the
damages, consequences and impacts of the armed conflict in the ethnic population), VISP
accompanied internal meetings to identify and discuss the progress in the elaboration of the ethnic
chapter, the difficulties and challenges, gaps of information, and the findings and priorities
identified to date by the different committees. Within this space, the Program identified the need
to analyze and look for information on the reproduction of the colonial model in the territories
occupied by ethnic communities and the importance of clarifying key research concepts (such as forces displacement, dispossession, among others) to facilitate information gathering. One of the
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 31
most relevant conclusions of these meetings is that the narrative of this chapter must be from
the ethnic communities’ voices so that the differentiated impacts of the armed conflict, its
magnitude and frequency, and the war practices and technics can be outreached and clearly
expressed with a territorial and geographic approach.
Finally, the Program contributed to advance in the proposals for the testimonial gathering with
the Kabata Indigenous Authorities, the Bakata Women Commission and the indigenous people and
communities located in Bogotá.
Sub-Intermediate Result 4.2 – Support and care services improved for victims of
sexual violence in target municipalities
4.2.1 Guarantees’ Board for Human Rights' Women Leaders and Defenders of
Montes de Maria.
Last quarter, VISP begun the implementation of the project’s second phase aimed at giving
continuity to the support provided to the Board and in the deployment of prevention, protection,
and non-repetition guarantees’ actions for the women leaders’ rights in this region. This phase
comprehends the three following components:
i. Monitoring and follow-up plan of the Board´s Action Plan: With the support of the
Public Ministry and the Ministry of the Interior, this component seeks to carry out a detailed
monitoring of the actions defined in the Montes de María Guarantees Board´s Action Plan.
ii. Interinstitutional articulation: This component aims to strengthen the relations and
dialogue processes between Montes de María’s women leaders and Human Rights
defenders and the GOC entities at the national and local levels involved in the protection
and guarantee of their rights, and especially the protection of their leaderships.
iii. Institutional strengthening for income generation strategies: The goal of this
component is to provide training to women so that they can access income generation
opportunities at the national and local levels contributing to their self-reliance and
organizational cohesion.
Within this scope, the members of the Board met with representatives of the Public Ministry, the
Ministry of Interior, and the Ombudsman’s Office to make a balance of the results and of the
General Assembly held on December 3 and 4, 2020. Additionally, during this space, the women
and the GOC officers discussed about the progress in the PIG´s action plan and the security
situation for women leaders in Montes de María (particularly in Sucre). As a result, a matrix to
follow-up the advances in the institutional commitments as part of the PIG´s action plan
implementation was adopted, and agreements were made regarding the need of interinstitutional
actions at the municipal level to guarantee the rights and security of the women leaders in Sucre.
Finally, a Promotion Committee was held to follow-up on the actions required to advance in the national and local 2021 workplans and to identify the needs of the women leaders of the region
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 32
regarding income generation. Among the prioritized actions identified is the need to carry out
visits to the Board´s nodes to assess their specific needs. Participants also agreed on the
importance of positioning the Promotion Committee before local authorities so that it can
become an important regional actor in the formulation and implementation of public policies
directed to this population.
4.2.2 Territorial Deployment of the Comprehensive Guarantees System for
Women Leaders and Human Rights Defenders in Chocó
During the reporting period, VISP concluded the inception phase for the territorial deployment
of the Comprehensive Guarantees System for Women Leaders and Human Rights Defenders in
Chocó and advanced in the project’s implementation within its 3 main components, namely: (i)
organizational strengthening, (ii) interinstitutional articulation, and (iii) follow-up and monitoring.
Specifically, last quarter, VISP carried out the following actions:
• Provide technical support to the Human Rights Directorate of the Ministry of the Interior
to socialize the project with the main actors identified during the mapping of stakeholders’
process in Chocó, including women leaders and human rights’ defenders’ organizations in
the region. For this purpose, 5 workshops were held within the scope of the
territorialization strategy of the Comprehensive Guarantees Plan (PIG, Spanish acronym).
The workshops aimed to increase and consolidate the knowledge of the 53 women leaders
and Human Rights defenders in Chocó regarding the women´s PIG and to promote their
effective participation in the formulation and territorial implementation. Through these
workshops the PIG was socialized with 51 women and with the Ombudsman’s Office, who
attended to start coordination. See images below.

• Promote the interinstitutional coordination between the Chocó’s Local Guarantees Board,
GOC’s entities and authorities (at the national and local levels) involved in the PIG´s
territorial deployment. Hence, VISP accompanied the Ministry of Interior in online
coordination meetings to explain the action plan for PIG´s territorialization process and to determine a mechanism to exchange information.
• Contribute to the drafting process of two key documents the women´s PIG
territorialization in Chocó. The first one is a characterization of the women leaders and
human rights defenders and their organizations, which includes an actors’ map and the
systematization and analysis of relevant information. The second document is a compilation

leaders and human rights defenders, and recommendations.
4.2.3 Institutional strengthening to the UNP in the ethnic and gender approach.
During the reporting period VISP begun to execute the second phase of this project aimed at
providing technical support to the National Protection Unit (UNP, Spanish acronym) to
appropriate the differential approaches, specifically the ethnic and gender approaches. Hence, the
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 34
Program advanced the interagency coordination to (i) to identify the areas in which the project
will focused in 2021, (ii) development of a detailed workplan, and (iii) determine which documents
must be reviewed to incorporate differential, gender, ethnic, and diverse sexual orientations and
identities approaches.
4.2.4 Community-Based Initiatives.
Institutional strengthening of female victims’ rights with a restorative perspective in Caldono and
Popayan: Last quarter, VISP begun the inception phase of this project which seeks to improve the
capacity of communities in Popayán and Caldono to provide comprehensive and adequate
response regarding the restorage of the rights of 40 indigenous and peasant women affected by
the armed conflict within a personal and community perspective (including life plans, traditions
and cultural) practices. VISP advanced the prioritization of beneficiaries and the socialization
process with institutional actors.
Intermediate Result 5: Peace for victims: institutional adjustments needed to
implement peace accords on victims and reparation.
5.1. Guarantees to Access Truth
5.1.1. Support the Unit to Search for Disappeared Persons (UBPD) to comply with
its mandate.
In the last quarter, VISP continued supporting the UBPD to comply with is mandate in areas such
as the implementation of the National Search Plan and the Regional Searching Plans, the definition
of the Universe of Disappeared People in Colombia, the search in rivers and water bodies, the
pedagogy and communication strategy, and the emotional care strategy, as follows:
National Search Plan: Last quarter, VISP continued supporting the UBPD in the implementation
of the National Search Plan (NSP). Therefore, VISP supported the development of meetings with
16 GOC entities and 8 civil society organizations, which are key actors for the Plan’s
implementation. Additionally, during the reporting period, the elaboration of a matrix mapping
138 actors whose mission is related with searching for disappeared persons activities was
advanced. Also, a new workplan was elaborated, presented, and approved for the
operationalization of the NSP. Finally, regarding the funding strategy, the Program supported the
systematization process of the information gathered during the above-mentioned meetings to
begin with the set-up and put into operation of the NSP´s second phase.
Pedagogy and Communication Strategy: Regarding the strengthening to the UBPD's Pedagogy
Strategy called “Circles of Knowledge”, VISP facilitated 4 workshops with 165 participants
including relatives of disappeared persons, UBPD´s officers, and civil society organizations. During
these encounters, the UBPD highlighted the importance of the Regional Search Plans and the
participation of relatives in the entity´s processes and activities. Furthermore, during these spaces,
participants have provided inputs and recommendations to recognize and adopt differential and territorial approaches in the search process.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 35
On the other hand, regarding the communications strategy, VISP contributed to the elaboration
of 10 communicative and pedagogical pieces. These pieces are expected to facilitate the
implementation, access, and understanding of the humanitarian and extrajudicial search and guide
victims, who look for the UBPD´s assistance, to access the different attention routes, and thus
guarantee their rights and comprehensive reparation. Likewise, with these communication
materials, the UBPD advanced the dissemination, among victims abroad, about the access routes
and communication channels to the UBPD’s offer and assistance.
Strategic planning: During the reporting period, VISP contributed to consolidating the UBPD´s
2021 Action Plan, and its corresponding set of indicators, considering, among other elements,
territorial and differential approaches. The goals were distributed quarterly, and technical support
was provided to the different units so that the information of each indicator was clearly included
in its data sheet.
Emotional Care Strategy: During the reporting period, VISP signed the agreement with the
Swedish Embassy aimed at providing technical support to the UBPD to implement the Emotional
Care Strategy and trainings on psychosocial skills for its staff. A work plan was approved to begin
the implementation.
Definition of the Universe of Disappeared People in Colombia: Last quarter, VISP contributed to
defining a workplan with the UBPD´s teams to advance in the definition of the Universe of
Disappeared People in Colombia and continue with the search in rivers and water bodies. Hence,
Equitas, VISP´s implementing partner for this project, now has the required information to start
consolidating, depurating, and crossing information to advance in the river searching component.
The most relevant activities performed during the reporting period are listed below:
• Two (2) socialization meetings with the UBPD´s teams to present the project and the
expected results.
• Two (2) methodological design meetings about how to determine the universe of
disappeared people in Colombia. Within these meetings participants agreed on the type of
information sources available at the UBPD, variables, and information transfer; as well as
about the UBPD’s advances on information processing.
• One (1) meeting to discuss the methodology to search in rivers and water bodies resulting
in an adjusted methodological proposal.
• Consolidation of available information (based on the 11 million data gathered by the UBPD
from different sources).
5.1.2. Support the Truth Commission to comply with its mandate.
During the reporting period, VISP continued providing support to the Truth Commission for the
finalization and dissemination of the Final Report, the participatory truth clarification about the
practice of illicit recruitment and use of children and adolescents in the context of the armed,
and the identification of reconciliation and peacebuilding initiatives.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 36
Elaboration and dissemination of the CEV´s Final Report as part of the delivery strategy and truth
legacy´s social appropriation: During the reporting, the CEV’s plenary of Commissioners
advanced on the determination of the priorities and key concepts for the finalization of the Final
Report´s drafting process and its dissemination process. As a result, VISP begun the recruitment
process for a team of 36 consults (28 have been hired already and 8 are in process) that will
support the Final Report’s last phase, and, especially, its dissemination and legacy strategy. The
team will support in particular i) technological adjustments for the Missional Information System;
ii) specialized consults for the elaboration of the report’s different chapters; iii) production of
contents for the Final Report’s transmedia component; and iv) support to community
participation and initiatives.
Also, last quarter VISP´s team carried out the following activities:
• Review of 446 collective interviews, to advance in the transcription and labeling as input for
a diagnosis document.
• Verification of the transcription and labeling process of 127 interviews to be uploaded to
the entity´s information system.
• Review of 875 interviews datasheets.
• Uploading of 195 sources to the Missional Information System’s Collaborative Labeling
Module including: 155 press releases from the Human Rights Permanent Committee
(CPDH, Spanish acronym), 40 publications and reports of the Criminality Magazine of the
Colombian National Police, and 56 registers from different CEV areas. These resources are
inputs for the Final Report.
Truth report on the practice of illicit recruitment and use of children and adolescents in the
context of the armed conflict in Colombia:
During the reporting period, VISP and the Instituto de Ciencia Política Hernán Echavarría Olózaga
(ICP, Spanish acronym), VISP´s implementing partner for this investigation, concluded the project’s inception phase. The project aims to document and outreach the practices implemented
by the FARC guerrilla and its members regarding illicit recruitment and use of children and
adolescents within the armed conflict context. Hence, last quarter VISP and ICP advanced in the
definition of the report’s structure and operation manual. The later presents the modus operandi
of the FARC guerrilla to recruit children and adolescents for this criminal organization.
Furthermore, during the reporting period, VISP supported “Mambrú, los niños no van a la guerra”
(an organization working for victims of forced recruitment) in the elaboration of a truth report
to be presented before the SIVJRN entities. The report includes in which men and women who
were recruited as children and adolescents tell their life stories, including the individual, collective
and social impacts of being part of an armed conflict actor since their childhood.
The efforts for coexistence are also true: Last quarter, VISP and the Mujer Arte y Vida Fundation
(MAVI, Spanish acronym), which is the partner for this project, begun the research process on
coexistence and peacebuilding experiences in Antioquia, Cauca, and Nariño departments, to be
transferred to the Truth Commission. As a result, 20 initiatives were identified in the territories.
Furthermore, 12 of these initiatives were selected to produce of communication pieces (in
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 37
audiovisual format) to be disseminated nationally to raise awareness about how these efforts have
contributed to reconciliation and reconstruction of social fabric in the territories.

6. CONCLUSION
Last quarter, Program continued to operate under the COVID-19 pandemic, with several
assistance activities carried out virtually and through telework practices. On the other hand,
thanks to the easing of some restrictions in certain territories, the Program continued to
reactivate some on-site activities observing the biosecurity measures and protocols. Likewise,
VISP continued to produce public policy documents, methodologies, guidelines, computer tools,
reports, communication, and emotional care strategies, among other products. Furthermore,
VISP continued with the prioritized activities in support to the Covid-19 Emergency. VISP local
staff´s support has been of paramount importance in the continuance of the Program´s activities
and to perform on-site follow-up when required.
Additionally, VISP advanced the implementation of the projects of the new workplan as part of
the eleventh amendment to the IOM-USAID´s agreement. Detailed priorities and challenges for
each of the results are presented next.
This quarter VISP encountered and addressed the following challenges:
Intermediate Result 1: Due to the continuity of the COVID-19, Program kept having
difficulties with on-site presence in target municipalities, particularly due to the pandemic’s third
wave. Nonetheless, VISP kept adjusting and adapting and was able to carry out the activities with
the support of local staff and partners in target municipalities.
Intermediate Result 2: The Presidential Council for the Participation of People with
Disabilities did not have staff for the project during the January and February which delayed the
progress in the comprehensive rehabilitation project, however, VISP and Arcángeles Foundation
advanced in the development of the actors and offer methodology on education, work, culture,
and sports. Furthermore, due to COVID 19 pandemic, the provision of in site activities has had
difficulties and, in some cases, had to be adapted to non-presential mechanisms. Hence, the
Program has adopted the use of technological tools and, when required, biosecurity protocols to
protect staff and beneficiaries.
Intermediate Result 3: The continuity of the COVID-19 pandemic has the economic sector
in a difficult situation, thus the signing of the contracts with MSM enterprises within the Victim´s
Labor Inclusion Strategy has been delayed and, in some cases, the companies have retracked their
proposals to be part of the project. Therefore, the number of vacancies allocated to other
companies in the project were increased to achieve the goals initially stablished. On the other
hand, sanitary, security, and climate factors affected the development of in-site activities with
Narrar para Vivir in Montes de Maria, therefore, most of the activities have been reprogramed
or adapted to virtual mechanisms, when possible.
Intermediate Result 4: The Ministry of the Interior and the Public Ministry did not send their
feedback and comments to the Action Plan for Montes de María´s Women Guarantees
Roundtable proposal. Therefore, VISP sent communications to both entities to advance in the
elaboration and approval of the document´s final version. On the other hand, the restrictions adopted to face COVID-19 pandemic affected the development of in-site activities with
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 41
indigenous organizations, therefore, most of the activities have been reprogramed or adapted to
virtual mechanisms, when possible.
Intermediate Result 5: Regarding the support provided to the CEV, the main challenge was
the delay in the definition by the entity of the needs and specific support requirements for
advancing in the elaboration of the Final Report and the truth legacy. On the other hand, with
the UBPD the main challenge was the change in the entity´s staff which entailed a delay in the
beginning of the projects activities while VISP socialized with the new officers the project,
previous agreements between the parties and the workplan.
In addition, VISP has identified the following priorities for next quarter:
Intermediate Result 1:
- Regarding the Institutional Strengthening Model’s, VISP’s priority is to advance with the
implementation of the Phase 9 projects, specifically to those that require infrastructure reparations or improvements.
- Finalize the workshops and discussion spaces for the formulation of the PNADDHH in
virtual scenarios.
- Implement the intervention and monitoring model in the implementation of measures of
the risk mitigation plans.
- Start with the in-site visits for the validation and formulation of infrastructure projects.
- Conclude the validation process of the registered victims' organizations at the municipal
level for the National´s Boards elections.
Intermediate Result 2:
- Advance in the development of the "Technical and operational guidelines for the
implementation of the rehabilitation process, as an integral part of health care" so that it
can begin the internal approval procedures in the MOH to be issued as an administrative in
2021.
- Continue the operation of the Comprehensive Care Strategy in-site despite the COVID –
19 pandemic.
Intermediate Result 3:
- Within the Victims Labor Inclusion Strategy, next quarter it is expected to make 369
placements (29% over the initial goal) and complete the new goal by reaching 1.543 effective
placements.
- Complete the transfer of resources to the MSM Enterprises to leverage the victims´ labor
costs.
- Start the follow-up phase of the labor inclusion process with the adoption of a psychosocial
approach that allows the adaptation of armed conflict victims to a work environment.
- Advance in the document with the recommendations for the implementation of the
Strategy in the 2021-2022 period.
- Support the implementation of the Especial Accompaniment Schemes Strategy in its income
generation component.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 42
Intermediate Result 4:
- Contribute to the positioning of the Impulse Committee before the local authorities so that
women leaders are considered a main actor in the design and implementation of policies
and strategies directed at this population.
- Achieve the inter-institutional coordination required at the local and departmental level to
guarantee the security conditions of the leaders in Montes de María (Sucre department).
- Among the challenges identified, is the realization of virtual activities related to the second
phase of territorialization established by the Human Rights Directorate of the Ministry of
the Interior, whose objective is to advance in the process of Installation of the Pilot of the
Comprehensive Guarantee Program for Women Leaders and Human Rights Defenders in
the department of Chocó, taking into account the difficulties of connectivity and access to
communication and computer devices.
Intermediate Result 5:
- Within the investigation conducted by MAVI, the priority will be to conduct the necessary interviews to complete the first 10 insights into public order issues in different selected
territories.
- Maintain constant communication and dialogue with the CEV´s Coexistence Team to
advance in the delimitation of their specific needs to be more efficient until the project´s
conclusion in June.

Annex 2: Success Story
THE PERFECT MATCH: PRIVATE SECTOR SUPPORTS LABOUR INCLUSION
Small enterprises and entrepreneurs are the perfect allies to achieve effective labor inclusion in
Colombia. Together with USAID’s VISP Activity and the Public Employment Service they can offer job
opportunities for conflict victims in their regions.
Manaure Balcón del Cesar is one of the
25 municipalities that make up the
department of Cesar in the Andean
region of Colombia. With its mild and
rainy climate, the municipality is part of
Valledupar’s (the department’s capital)
metropolitan area and has been
prioritized within the regional Territorial
Development Plan. The latter aims to
promote rural development, and
improvements in the community’s
infrastructure, schools, sanitation
services, roads, tourism, and conservation plans.
Until quite recently, Manaure's economy was severely affected by illegal armed groups that caused
the displacement of people to other regions of the country. However, today the city holds the
greatest development prospects in the Department. Because of its fertile soil, and mild
precipitations; it is currently Valledupar’s most important food supplier.
Due to its fascinating natural destinations, tourism was also booming before the pandemic. Several
companies were willing to explode the full potential of their landscapes and were working to
promote a conscious, calm, and focused tourism. However, Covid-19’s mobility restrictions severely affected tourism and many of the companies had to stop their ongoing projects. Recently,
some of them are reactivating activities and have found an opportunity in the Labor Inclusion
Strategy for Conflict Victims, promoted by USAID’s VISP and the Public Employment Service.
Boreal Company S.A.S, is one of them, a small
company that is betting on exclusive and
personalized services through dome-type
Glamping, a way of camping with some luxuries.
Thanks to a partnership with Cesar’s National
Learning Service, Boreal submitted a proposal to
participate in the Strategy’ call for proposals
offering one vacancy for a construction job. On
February 1st, they hired Elberto Álvarez, 39
years old, with an 8-month contract.
VICTIMS INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING PROGRAM 46
"I feel happy, happy, and proud to have a job in an honest company that allows me to support my
wife, and my four children," says Elberto.
Born in Manaure, Elberto and is one of the
nine million conflict victims in Colombia.
Displaced from the Serranía del Perijá along
with his wife and children, he has dedicated
himself to working in the countryside,
especially planting coffee, and managing
local farms. He doesn't have a lot of
experience in construction, but he has
already shown great attention to detail and
organizational skills, highly desirable abilities
for someone in the sector. In the
forthcoming months, he will receive specific training and psychosocial support, as part of the benefits provided to victims who participate in the Strategy.

Beristaín, who spoke in the event “Truth
encounter: recognizing the exile in
Colombian borders”, Colombian victims
suffer the longest exile in world history.
During the late 90s, the armed conflict
reached a dreadful peak and the break of
the Caguan talks forced many civilians into
neighboring countries. Then, in the early
2000's, a paramilitary offensive near the
Colombian borders became another
regrettable milestone. Despite this humanitarian crisis that goes back to the
70s according to some sources, it was
invisible for many in the country. USAID´s
VISP Program has supported the Truth
Commission on the collection of individual
and collective testimonies and to promote
the participation of victims abroad.
