Summary of Key Quarterly Results During this period, progress was made in each of Inclusion for Peace Activity’s (IPA) three intermediate results (IRs), including:
Result Area1: Community and Institutional Strengthening
Institutional strengthening The facilitation activities for the inclusion of an ethnic approach in the formulation of PDET was completed successfully.
Community strengthening The ICOE diagnoses for the 20 prioritized CSO were completed. Toolboxes were distributed among Afro-Colombian CSO to promote self-recognition in Cartagena and Medellín. Strengthening of the Cimarrona Guard in Islas del Rosario made significant progress.

Government Initiatives with community participation Knowledge exchange gatherings with Indigenous resguardos were facilitated during the quarter to generate inputs for the creation of the web-based tool for the autonomous management of SGP resources. Radio broadcasts in wayunaiki were produced to sensitize communities in prior consultation. The CEV methodology for research, analysis and interpretation of information with an ethnic approach made progress through discussion meetings held with ethnic authorities. The CEV communications strategy was formulated. The municipal route against incidents of racism and racial discrimination in Medellín was built and approved by the city government. The diagnosis document on socio-demographics and human rights of the Afro-descendant population and the Indigenous political agenda were presented to the City Government of Medellín.

INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 6 the Pruebas Saber in Quibdó, showing positive results in terms of academic performance improvement. The Chocovida sub-activity closed, 35 participating students have obtained full scholarships at UNC. 4,218 students presented their diagnosis tests in the UNC sub- activity in various IPA territories. Teacher training is underway in the PTA sub-activity in Barbacoas and San Juan del Cesar. 190 school community diagnoses were made in IPA territories under the Manos a la Escuela sub-activity. 1,450 students continue with their academic improvement activities within the Ecos de Paz sub-activity in Nariño and Cartagena. 120 beneficiaries of the Special Fund for Higher Education (Lumni) finished their semesters.
Result Area 2: Economic Opportunities PS programs, MI Negocio and Empleo para la Prosperidad closed during the quarter. Mi Negocio achieved the creation of 2,201 businesses in IPA territories while, 1,052 Empleo para la Prosperidad participants have obtained a formal job. 5,622 households in IPA territories are now officially participants of IRACA and have contributed to the development of 180 community diagnoses and 75 food security projects. The Digital Entrepreneurship and Employability sub-activity has reached agreements with 121 with private sector companies. The artisans from La Guajira, Nariño and Cauca showcased their work in Expoartesanías in Bogota. 20 persons with disabilities finished their training in design in Puerto Tejada. 800 households were furnished with working tools to improve their productive practices un Tumaco.
Result Area 3: Heritage and Cultural Diversity

The Mega Library sub-activity in Cartagena closed with the operative proposals submitted to the City Government. The inventory of the Muntú-Bantú memory center in Cartagena is now complete. The municipality of Barbacoas was furnished five sets of musical instruments and five sets of dance costumes for its strategy of cultural heritage protection.
Differentiated Approach
The most significant examples of the implementation of the differentiated approach during the quarter are as follows:
Gender - Some APS sub-activities such as the ones implemented by Indigenous Resguardo Eperara Siapidara from Joaquincito, USAID F indicator REDMUNORCA, FESOC and GNDR-2: The percentage ASOREDIPARCHOCO include of IPA female participants empowerment processes for women leaders that have increased access to productive in the resguardos, through awareness of economic resources their rights and visibility of their (assets, credit, income or contributions as safeguards of knowledge employment) is 80.73% and ancestral practices, as well as caregivers. (3372 women). - Two initiatives that applied to the call for gender APS were approved. One of them aims at strengthening Afro-Caucan women through training with a productive and
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 7
psychosocial approach. The other initiative seeks to contribute to the empowerment and recognition of leaders in Afro-Colombian and Indigenous LGBT organizations in Cartagena. - IPA conducts training sessions and provides technical assistance to allied organizations on the implantation if the gender approach. During this quarter ASOREIDPARCHOCO, OREWA, and REDMUNORCA were supported. - A training day in gender stereotypes and education was held in Bogota with the participation of about 15 tutors within the teacher’s strengthening sub-activity, with a view to getting them to apply and replicate this knowledge in their respective territories. - The official launch of the political movement Mujeres Negras, Afrocolombianas, Raizales y Palenqueras was held in October, at the Inernational Forum for Afro- Diasporic Women in Cali. IPA accompanied and supported the consolidation of this movement in 2018. During this event IPA helped with the logistics and provided technical assistance by moderating the migration and black women work groups. The event not only included a large participation of international cooperation agencies, but also featured a major accomplishment for positioning black women leadership abroad when Audes Jiménez, a member of the Afro-Colombian Women movement, was selected as the Colombia representative for the Afro- Latinamerican and Afro-Caribbean Women. - IPA has supported the development of the CEV working methodology by including the gender approach within the ethnic perspective, in coordination with the Gender Task Team of the CEV. - Several activities were carried out within the commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (November 25) like GBV workshops in La Guajira, women leaders gatherings in Timbiquí, Tumaco and Mocoa and GBV information and sensitization activities in Soacha.
LGBTI People - Colombia Diversa published "Entretejiéndonos", a handbook to make visible the oppression under which Afro-Colombian LGBT people live in settings such as Quibdó and Buenaventura, and the leadership shown by them people to counter this situation. - Arcoiris Foundation has done so far an important characterization on the situation of Afro-Colombian LGBT people in Tumaco, for the purpose of emphasizing their contribution in weaving the social fabric of Tumaco.
Youth - At least 8 of the APS sub-activities of the Institutional Strengthening and Heritage components allocate an important part of their activities for youths. In Nariño, for instance, the Cueros y Chonta sub-activity focuses on developing knowledge transmission strategies to children, adolescents and youth, in such a way that new generations appropriate their cultural heritage. Moreover, in Barbacoas 60 Afro- Colombian youth are being trained on ethnic legislation, organizational processes and development of art and cultural education spaces. - Training for youth in soft skills and entrepreneurship was completed in Medellín, Cali, Buenaventura and Tumaco. Almost 500 youths were trained within the employability and digital entrepreneurship sub-activity co-managed with Fundación Telefónica. Between 50% and 70% of those youths are expected to obtain a job or start a business in the digital sector during FY2019 Q1.
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 8
- Youth from Barbacoas, Guapi and Tumaco were supported in their participation in the handicrafts fair in Bogotá in December with a view to strengthening the commercial side of their filigrane businesses.
Disability
- Service delivery to persons with disabilities is very challenging due to mobility and health constraints. For this reason, psychosocial accompaniment has been deployed for IPA participants with disabilities so that they can better access health services. Also, IPA is facilitating accessible transportation for this population in targeted locations. - To date, over 90 Afro-Colombian and indigenous persons with disabilities have received entrepreneurship training and about 20 business plans have been developed to start up productive undertakings in the short term. - In Uribia, a workshop for Wayuu women artisans was held regarding the concept of disability from a Wayuu cultural point of view. It was held in Wayunaiki and it focused on reconstructing the concept of disease, thus enabling proposals for affirmative actions oriented towards the inclusion persons with disabilities in the community in every day activities. It is worth noting that these women actively participated and adopted this new point of view and agreed to transmit this inclusion message to other Wayuu communities.

2. INTRODUCTION
Activity Description
The Inclusion for Peace Activity is designed to significantly close the economic and social inclusion gaps between the general population and ethnic communities in Colombia. IPA seeks to realize substantial gains in three areas: (1) building the capacity of the government entities and civil society organizations (CSOs) to respond to the differential needs of ethnic communities; (2) reduce income poverty in ethnic communities; and (3) address social and structural causes of discrimination and exclusion.
These are IPA’s result areas:
▪ R1: Community and Institutional Strengthening. Enhanced government capacity to respond to ethnic communities affected by conflict and greater engagement of these communities in peace-building. ▪ R2: Economic Opportunities. Reduced vulnerability to income poverty by increasing access to economic opportunities. ▪ R3: Heritage and Cultural Diversity. Increased awareness and respect for ethnic diversity. ▪ R4: Humanitarian Assistance. Provide humanitarian assistance to Afro- Colombians and indigenous people.
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 12
Context
The UN verification mission to Colombia presented its progress report on the implementation of the Peace Agreement during the quarter. It includes an evaluation of the first 100 days of the Administration of Ivan Duque and identifies some of its main challenges for 2019 with respect to peace.
The report states that the attacks and killings of social leaders and human rights defenders continue, and that the OHCHR in Colombia states that seven assassinations have been confirmed since September 2018 (four of these took place in Mocoa, Caloto, Tumaco and Santander de Quilichao), while others remain under review. To tackle this situation, on the 19th of November the GoC launched its action plan for the prevention and protection of the individual and collective rights to life, liberty, integrity and security of human rights defenders, social and community leaders and journalists. The Plan seeks to assemble, guide and coordinate the different protection programs and resources of the various government entities that have involved in prevention and protection.
The report also expresses concern for the killing of former FARC members. The demobilization of armed groups has resulted in two main issues: on the one hand, demobilized persons who have not followed the state-run reintegration plan, seeking to relocate and resume control of certain territories; on the other, the safety of the demobilized, threatened by armed groups or emerging criminal gangs. To date, according to the ICRC, there is still an armed conflict between the GoC and the ELN (1), EPL (2), Clan del Golfo (3) and the current splinter groups formed after the FARC (4). The hardest hit departments are Cauca, Nariño, Antioquia, Norte de Santander and Caquetá.
The report ends by reiterating the need for the GoC to strengthen security schemes and strategies for ex-combatants and concentrate its efforts on their socio-economic reintegration. At the same time, it highlights the importance of the support given to the Peace Process by the UN Security Council and the entire international community.
During FY2019 Q1, the CEV began its work to contribute to clarify the events occurred during the confrontation, promote the recognition of victims and help to achieve a peaceful coexistence in the territories, seeking to strengthen the reconciliation process in Colombia. The Commission's work is expected to last 3 years during which it will create a Monitoring and Follow-Up Committee for the implementation of its recommendations, which will operate once the Commission publishes the final report based on the hearings it has started to hold.
The most representative quarter events in the IPA territories are as follows:
Cauca: There were threats and/or selective murders of social leaders (Afro-Colombians and indigenous people) in the municipalities in the north (Caloto, Corinto, Buenos Aires, Suarez, among others) and in the Pacific (Guapi and Timbiquí). These are a result of the operation of illegal armed groups that seek gain or regain (demobilized FARC members) control of certain territories, as well as the failure of the State to anticipate the violence and guarantee the protection of leaders. In view of the latter, protests and blockades of ethnic organizations and civil society took place in Puerto Tejada and Miranda in order to demand guarantees for the safety of the leaders and to petition State preence in the region.
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 13
Valle del Cauca: The strike of transporters which blocked the road between Cali and Buenaventura, and the public order situation in sectors of Afro-Colombian and indigenous communities located in the Bajo Naya area (indigenous community Eperara - Siapidara), sometimes caused the cancellation and rescheduling of IPA activities.
La Guajira: The administrative and political instability of the governments of Riohacha and La Guajira persist. During the quarter, the elected Governor was reinstated after being dismissed from his post, however, a few days later a ruling against him was issued, along with his subsequent dismissal. On December 2 elections for the Mayor's office of Riohacha took place with high Afro-Colombian and Indigenous participation in various political campaigns, this meant that during this period the implementation of activities focused on the development of sub-activities underway, avoiding new initiatives that could have a political interpretation. Frequent changes in the departmental and municipal administrations hinder and preclude the establishment and consolidation of work alliances and strategies in the mid-term, as well as GoC resource allocation for sub-activity implementation. The Department and the District are still under Central Government intervention with regards to the management of water, health and education. Another situation affecting the Department is the weak legal situation of some ethnic organizations reducing eligibility and participation in calls, such as the APS.
In Bolivar, the Central Govenrment appointed a new mayor in Cartagena seeking to reactivate stalled programs and projects. The construction of the public policy of economic development, for instance, in which stakeholders from the public and private spheres, unions and academia, participate to boost labor and business activity. This is certainly an opportunity for IPA in its mission to promote ethnic labor inclusion in the city. Also, the reactivation of networks such as the Productive Inclusion Network and the District’s International Cooperation Roundtable (of which IOM is a member), represent spaces of convergence, articulation, coordination, and optimization of resources for initiatives that foster the socio-economic inclusion of the ethnic population.
Scheduled activities in Bagadó were also subject to last minute changes and delays due to public order and security situations. In October, the Army conducted military operations against members of the ELN in the arterial road that leads from Quibdó to Pereira which resulted in a deteriorating security situation.
It is noteworthy that during this period, a supplementary agreement was signed with the Mayor’s Office of Medellín. This supplementary agreement seeks to improve the capacity of the public administration to serve the ethnic population and promote awareness of ethnic diversity in the city. IPA’s Contribution to Peace Building
GoC Capacity building
The implementation of a training module for GoC officials to inform and raise awareness regarding the Peace Agreement, especially the ethnic chapter, is promoted from several of the sub-activities within the institutional strengthening strategy.
On the community strengthening side, there are various approaches that contribute to peacebuilding, the APS:
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 14
- Protection to youths in contexts of violence through education, recreational and cultural activities, and use of leisure time. - Construction of rules for peaceful coexistence to prevent and mediate conflicts, among others. - Interethnic and intercultural conflict management. - Strengthening of the mandates for autonomous justice within resgaurdos. - Support for the consolidation of the Cimarrona Guard. - Support for creating gathering and dialogue spaces within the framework of the post-conflict between Afro-Colombians, Indigenous and peasant communities, as in the case of Northern Cauca. - Promotion of the statistical visibility of ethnic groups to enable greater influence in public management. - Incentives to promote youth leadership in Afro-Colombian communities affected by forced displacement that is aimed at improving access to education and labor market opportunities, which in turn contribute to peacebuilding. - Inspire reconciliation and peacebuilding processes, through the update of the 32 community council regulations associated through COCOMACIA. - Strengthen community relations through leadership, as is the case of the Leadership School of the Community Council of the Black Community from Cordoba and San Cipriano. - Promotion of ties to the territory, as is the case of the sub-activity led by HUEPA, preventing children, adolescents and youths from becoming victims or aggressors within contexts of disputes or violence.
In the context of education processes, the Manos a la Escuela sub-activity benefits 590 rural schools located in 14 departments prioritized under the formulation PDETs: Magdalena, Bolívar, Norte de Santander, Antioquia, Caquetá, Guaviare, Huila, Nariño, Putumayo, Cauca, Tolima, Valle de Cauca and Chocó. This intervention model invests in rural education through the improvement of school infrastructure and the strengthening of the school communities. An estimated 10,000 people benefit from peacebuilding, citizenship construction and social fabric activation processes. Additionally, this quarter witnessed progress in the construction of student’s life projects, aimed at providing tools to participants of the Educapazífico sub-activity to make better decisions once they graduate from School.
The economic opportunities sub-activities contribute to peacebuilding to the extent that they enable legal alternatives for income generation. The strengthening of the cocoa productive chain, for example, is an alternative to illicit crops in Tumaco. It is also expected that by contributing to the economic development of municipalities through the creation or strengthening of local businesses, as well as the promotion of access to formal employment, the inequality gap will be bridged, improving the living conditions of the ethnic communities, thus reducing the impact of illegal or violent activities as means of earning a living.
The communications area contributes to peacebuilding to the extent that it communicates and makes visible the progress, challenges and contributions of ethnic populations to society. This allows to help remove various forms of invisibility, which in turn promote different forms of discrimination that these populations still suffer from, mostly because ethnic issues are not placed on the public agenda with the differentiated approach they call
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 15 for. Social and economic inclusion of these populations is fostered when their contributions are recognized and respected and this is accomplished when they are communicated.
The ethnic affairs area accompanies and seeks to promote political processes of rapprochement and dialogue between national and regional ethnic organizations: the Mesa Permanente de Concertación Indígena, GoC entities, international cooperation and NGOs. These dialogues stress on the fulfilment of the Peace Accord mandates (Ethnic chapter) and the formulation of public policies aimed at promoting the inclusion of ethnic communities. Also, IPA is involved in the promotion of ethnic identity projects, looking after the participation and the free, prior and informed consent of ethnic authorities, supporting the generation of spaces of horizontal dialogue, the protection of ethnic rights based on national and international legal frameworks, the strengthening of self- governed ethnic communities, strategies for information and communication with a differentiated approach and guaranteeing the participation and inclusion of women, men and people of all ages.
The ethnic affairs area also plays an active role as the focal point of the IOM in the meetings of the GIRPI, which seeks to articulate agendas and coordinate joint actions between the agencies of the UN system in the Americas to promote the fullfilment of the rights of indigenous peoples. The participation of IOM as a member of the GIRPI helps to ensure the implementation and follow-up of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals – SDG in ethnic related topics.
3. ACTIVITY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS
Progress by Result Area
Result Area 1: Enhanced GOC capacity to respond to ethnic communities affected by conflict and greater engagement of these communities in peace-building
Result 1.1: Targeted GOC agencies have increased capacity to respond to the needs of Afro-Colombian and indigenous persons affected by conflict
The accompaniment and facilitation activities in the Pacífico Medio, Norte del Cauca and Alto Patía, Chocó, and Pacífico Sur and Frontera Nariñense PDETs were completed successfully. It was possible to include an ethnic approach in these territorial planning documents. IPA supported ART through expert consultants on ethnic issues and also supported the leaders of local organizational processes who facilitated exercises. The PDETs are planning tools that are expected to serve ethnic communities as instruments of enforceability of rights at local and regional levels (new territorial administrations) and national levels too (PND). In addition, they will serve as input for project formulation and articulation of regional agendas of communities.
Progress was made in the sub-activity to strengthen prior consultation processes within the framework of the ILO169 Convention (Act 21 of 1991): six audio broadcasts sharing information on this issue were produced in wayunaiki, they will be broadcasted on community radio stations in La Guajira, and on the web sites of MinInterior and IOM. IPA identified that for the Wayuu people it is important to know more about prior consultation mechanisms since more than 100 of these processes are currently being held in their territory. Convention 169 is the main international tool that recognizes the rights of
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 16
Indigenous and Afro-Colombian peoples to prior consultation; it has been ratified by 22 States.
Result 1.2: Increased Afro-Colombian and indigenous civil society capacity to advocate for their needs and constructively engage with the GoC
The construction and validation process of the strengthening plans for the 20 prioritized CSO through the So far IPA has ICOE was completed. The final plans were validated by supported 105 CSOs in Buenaventura, Norte del Cauca, Chocó and La CSO, investing Guajira, and with ONIC, AFRODES and Gobierno Mayor over USD 4 at national level. The next step is to implement the million and strengthening plans so that the targeted CSOs become leveraging nearly USD 650,000. more effective in the fulfillment of their missions and in accessing and managing public and international cooperation funds. Likewise, within the strategy being implemented in Medellín, the ICOE was applied to nine Afro-Colombian organizations participating in the organizational strengthening component.
The ONIC held 20 knowledge exchange and discussion gatherings among Indigenous peoples to strengthen the Indigenous Guard’s strategy as well as Indigenous accompaniment of the PDET. These sessions took place in Antioquia, Cauca, Chocó, Guaviare, La Guajira and Nariño. These scenarios contributed to the understanding of planning instruments like life plans and safeguard plans, and their articulation with the PDET and other institutional planning instruments. It was also possible to reach hard-to-access indigenous reserves, in which they never heard of the Indigenous Guard nor the PDET before, as is the case of Guaviare. Also, support was provided to Afro-Colombian women from the Norte del Cauca through REDMUNORCA for healing processes and for their participation in the development of PDETs.
The quest for preservation of Indigenous history and culture
Indigenous groups in Colombia have created tools that focus on the preservation of history and culture as a response to the changing nature of the social, economic and cultural context of the country. Life and safeguard plans are among these tools:
Life Plans Life plans are collective planning tools through which Indigenous communities in the country express their fundamental right to self-development, cultural reaffirmation and autonomy in the rule of their territories. These plans facilitate coordination with different GoC institutions without compromising Indigenous autonomy. The origin of the life plans goes back to 1997 with the 10th CRIC, where it was decided that the mechanisms that would replace the organic law of development for Indigenous communities (Law 152 of 1994) would be based on their own logic. However, it was not until the 2010-2014 PND, that Indigenous life plans were recognized as official planning and management tools. This PND defined life plans as a fundamental right, based on Indigenous principles of territory, unity, culture, autonomy, spirituality and interculturality. Life plans are designed and implemented differently for each community but following a process: first the community's life vision is built, then a participatory diagnosis is made regarding its current situation in order to identify and prioritize problems, needs, priorities and possible ways to address them, then
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 17 projects that respond to these are formulated and a concertation process with the relevant GoC entities is carried out. Finally, implementation of the activities of the life plan begin.
Safeguard Plans Safeguard plans were created in response to the situation of Colombian Indigenous peoples that were affected by the armed conflict and forced displacement. The Constitutional Court order 004 of 2009, decreed the design and implementation of a "program to guarantee the rights of Indigenous peoples affected by displacement". In order to guarantee the continuity of their existence and the effective achievement of their constitutional rights, the 004 guarantees that the return of displaced Indigenous populations is done voluntarily, safely and in conditions of dignity; it also takes into account special cases of individuals, families and communities who cannot return because the threats that led to their exile are still in force. The Directorate of Indigenous Affairs, ROM and Minorities of the MinInterior is responsible for the formulation of public policies in the interest of Indigenous peoples within the framework of defense, support, strengthening and consolidation of their ethnic and cultural rights. Thus, the Directorate is the body in charge of the formulation, coordination and follow-up to the implementation of the "Safeguard Plans of the Indigenous peoples of Colombia". MinInterior coordinates with national and territorial GoC entities the consultation processes conducted with Indigenous communities to establish the plans. Community diagnoses are made for each Indigenous community: they describe its history, cultural characteristics and traditions, and identify needs, wants and problems. The diagnoses serve as input for the attention routes deployed by GoC entities and thus the formulation of a any given safeguard plan.
With IPA’s support the National Conference of Afro-Colombian organizations developed a media plan, designed a web site and distributed of 200 copies of the toolbox "Yo cuento en este cuento” that was created to strengthen the self-recognition and statistical visibility of the Afro-Colombian, Raizal, Black and Palanquera populations. Within the strategy, two regional forums in Medellín and Cartagena were held with the participation of Afro-Colombian leaders and local journalists. These forums seek to further promote self-recognition, especially in Cartagena, where many people do not recognize themselves as NARP. Increased self-recognition means more demographic weight, and as such, greater possibilities of influencing the public agenda to achieve better living conditions for black communities. This sub-activity is coordinated with the support of DANE, described in result 1.3 of this document.
ACONC conducted 18 gatherings for the development of a diagnosis document on the demographic, territorial, socio-economic and cultural characteristics of the interethnic territories of Northern Cauca. Furthermore, a protocol on interethnic relations between Indigenous peoples, mestizo population and Afro-Colombians for territorial peacebuilding was developed. The next step of this sub-activity will be the development of an interethnic life plan which results in a planning process between Afro-Colombian, indigenous and mestizo peoples in a territory that seeks to consolidate a common agenda for regional development.
The Community Council of ORIKA in the Rosario Islands, Cartagena, held two workshops on nonviolent communication and dispute resolution using practical exercises and short plays where coexistence situations were staged. Amongst the participants, there were 15 members of the Cimarrona Guard. These workshops provided further information for the development of internal regulations and a general Assembly was held to report progress
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 18 on the update of the latter. These regulations are based on the norms agreed within the Community Council for the regulation of daily life and will be presented to the municipal administration of Cartagena. This process as well as the final document may well serve as a model for other community councils in the area.
The organizational strengthening sub-activity of COCOMACIA was completed in Chocó with the presentation of 40 documents of internal regulations of local community councils to the Mayor’s Office of Quibdó. IPA supported COCOMACIA in the review and participatory update of the regulations documents, which were developed in accordance with the new National Police Code and the new post-conflict scenario generated by the Peace Agreement. The internal regulations serve as norms that are to be observed by all of residents inside the community councils. This sub-activity also included the participatory development of a methodological guide that will help to keep track of the implementation of these norms.
In Puerto Tejada, the Circo Para Todos Foundation completed its activities with the creation of a community network of circus arts for the prevention and attention of GBV with an ethnic approach; 30 local women are part of it. The network is also supported by 20 children, adolescents and youth that serve as cultural agents in the municipality, also by men who are interested in taking an active part in some of its culture and inclusion related initiatives. The cultural agent strategy aims to motivate local youth to consider their life projects, exercise leadership and serve as role models by getting involved in community affairs and, eventually be able to support themselves with culture related activities. To finalize IPA’s involvement in the sub-activity, a circus show was put on with the message "management as a tool for peace": This was also the closing ceremony and graduation of cultural agents and women members of the network. IPA expects to keep track of these cultural agents to assess the impact of the strategy and to provide additional support, if possible.
Within the sub-activity to strengthen and support ethnic communication through digital media and ethnic influencers in IPA territories progress was made in Tumaco with the identification of leaders, creation of communication pieces and success stories for social networks and realization of videos. At the same time, a media strategy was put in place to make visible the work of the CONPA as an advocate for the inclusion of the Afro- Colombian communities in the implementation of the Peace Agreement.
In collaboration with the Midwives Network of Chocó (ASOREDIPARCHOCO) various activities and encounters were carried out with the Embera Katio midwives of Bagadó. This is a tactic to raise awareness about their leadership and their importance as safeguards of ancestral knowledge and cultural practices and as caregivers.
In Buenaventura, the Community Council of the Black Community from Cordoba and San Cipriano completed the training of 44 participants from the Leadership School, the curriculum included conflict management, project formulation, leadership and social skills. Furthermore, five community projects were formulated during the project formulation workshops. This sub-activity seeks to generate local capacity amongst community members so that they are proactive in realizing solutions to their development challenges.
Headway was made together with HUEPA by holding three training workshops in human rights with 32 participants in Buenaventura; there were also three cultural and three sports
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 19 activities held. Each activity involved 30 youth from the neighborhoods of Alberto Lleras, La Playita and Alfonso López Pumarejo. This sub-activity seeks to promote a culture of peace in the area, based on post-conflict forgiveness and reconciliation dynamics.
Positive developments were accomplished with the Eperara Siapidara Indigenous Resguardo of Joaquincito (Buenaventura) in terms of the empowerment of women leaders through awareness of their rights and their contributions to the community. Workshops were held on ancestral knowledge, leadership, participation in the resguardo’s decision- making institutions, gender equity, project formulation and management, entrepreneurship and constructive coexistence in the territory. This sub-activity aims to empower women and youth so that they are actively involved in the community affairs and effectively contribute to peacebuilding.
Young Afro-Colombians (42) were trained in Tumaco by CORDEAGROPAZ as instructors of theatrical performance techniques, music, urban and traditional dance. They also worked on scriptwriting oriented to the promotion of the rule of law and citizenship values. These youths are to become community agents for the promotion of peace through educational and pedagogical actions that bring about changes in attitudes, behaviors, awareness, forgiveness, reconciliation, and coexistence. Also, within this sub-activity three editions of the youth newspaper "Hechos de Paz", 20 radio programs "Paz a la Info" and 20 television shows "Te veo en Paz", were published, aired and broadcasted on local media with the participation of the sub-activity participants.
The Resguardo Hojal La Tubia in Ricaurte, made headway with the training of 40 members of the Indigenous Guard on Awa government law and justice, self-determination mechanisms, defense of the territory, and Colombian law and government. Furthermore, 20 Awa women were trained on rights of women, family and childhood. The Indigenous Guard was also equipped with digital communication radios, vests, rubber boots, bags and flashlights. This sub-activity aims to improve the capabilities of the resguardo for the collective protection and prevention against different forms of violence and has had a positive reception from the community. IPA will seek to track the effects of this training process to assess its impact.
The Tiempos de Crear Youth Association from Bien del Futuro Community Council in Barbacoas made progress on training 60 Afro-Colombian youths in ethnic legislation, organizational processes in the Colombian Pacific and in the creation of artistic and cultural training spaces. This tactic seeks to rescue and promote the region’s traditional knowledge, promoting the legacy of the Afro-Pacific culture that is threatened by the arrival of other cultural practices new to the territory. This sub-activity was completed and IPA will seek to track the effects of this training process to assess its impact.
The direct participants of the sub-activity in the Resguardo Awá Magui in Barbacoas, completed the resguardo’s own justice mandate and shared it with the rest of the community. In a general assembly held during this quarter the mandate was officially adopted in the resguardo. It is based on the principles of spirituality, inclusion and protection of the rights of the elderly. This process involved the elders, youths, men and women, as well as the reguardo’s authorities present in the discussion and concertation spaces. This sub- activity has finished and IPA will seek to monitor the implementation and effects of the mandate of justice in the community.
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 20
Result 1.3: Increased implementation of targeted government initiatives to respond to the needs of ethnic communities affected by conflict through a Do No Harm approach that engages the entire community.
Progress was made on the development of the structure and architecture of contents for the DANE web-based tool that encourages the statistical visibility of ethnic groups in the 2018 Census. As mentioned in result 1.2, the promotion of self-recognition and statistical visibility contributes not only to a demographic weight increase of ethnic groups, but also broadens its leverage for the formulation of public policies that favor them. IPA is ensuring that this sub-activity is articulated with the CSO strengthening strategy. Supported CSOs will have the capacity to identify specific needs and issues of their constituents based on census data. This, in turn will enable them to formulate evidence-based interventions that more accurately address the identified issues.
Progress was made in the sub-activity for the development of technological tools for the autonomous management of SGP funds in Indigenous Resguardos (Decree 1953 / 2014). The first knowledge exchange of the sub-activity took place in Cauca with the participation of 19 resguardos of Cauca, Tolima, Córdoba, Cesar, Magdalena, Sucre and Caldas and with the participation of the ONIC. During this gathering weaknesses and bottlenecks were identified in relation to the resguardos’s experiences implementing the Decree. GoC institutions such as the DNP, Office of the Inspector General and the National Ombudsman, amongst others, also participated. One of the results of the exchange was the definition of characteristics that web-based tools have to feature like accessible language that facilitates community work and accurate and practical descriptions of the processes to be followed for the autonomous management of funds in indigenous reserves.
Progress was made in the drafting of methodological proposals for the CEV for the collection of information, training and socialization in the underlying and binding effects of the Colombian conflict, guaranteeing the participation of Indigenous communities. This is part of IPA’s efforts to support the development of a methodology that guarantees a differentiated approach within the framework of the CEV. The methodology provides research, analysis and interpretation tools on the ways in which ethnic peoples envision intercultural coexistence and the actions that can be performed for building a pluralist society, which honors the Nation’s multiethnic and multicultural character.
During this quarter, IPA facilitated regional and sub-regional meetings with Indigenous and Afro-Colombian authorities to discuss and agree upon the CEV methodology and training proposals developed by the IPA team. By the end of December of 2018, both the methodology and training proposals for the collection of data from individual and collective victims of ethnic peoples had been validated with ethnic communities. Also, a pilot is underway to identify the main traumas that the conflict inflicted on the communities in a multiethnic region, as is the case of Northern Cauca. Taking into account that the armed conflict had a disproportionate effect on ethnic peoples, it was recognized that their cultural perspective must be included in the search for truth, justice and reparation. Likewise, jurisdictional functions of ethnic authorities must be respected and an inclusive and participatory design of judicial and extra judicial mechanisms for the search of truth, justice and reparation has to be guaranteed.
Additionally, the CEV’s communications strategy with an ethnic approach was formulated. This strategy has various objectives: It seeks to improve the CEV
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 21 commissioners’ capabilities for communications management. Also, to monitor how ethnic issues are being handled in mass media and social media, providing advice and support to better position them. Finally, the strategy seeks to generate strategic communication actions to promote ethnic diversity in a reconciliation context.
The CEV’s gender approach was supported with the preparation of a rapprochement methodology between the CEV and Indigenous, Afro-descendant and Romani women victims of the conflict, participating in various regional and national meetings of Mujeres por la Paz1. This work was carried out in coordination with the Gender Task Team of the CEV.
The municipal route against incidents of racism and racial discrimination in Medellín was built and approved as part of the sub-activity for the implementation of public policies for the ethnic population in the city. The route articulates actions of local and national GoC institutions, taking into account their mission, in order to improve the access of ethnic communities into the different programs available, especially for conflict victims. The route also seeks to generate sustainability and effectiveness for inclusion processes that the city is designing from the municipal office for ethnic affairs. The route contributes to a broader institutional strengthening in the sense that it improves differential response capabilities and and gives impulse to gender and ethnicity as cross-cutting issues. Finally, this effort aims to promote a city that recognizes ethnic diversity, where the contributions of the community are made visible and relations among citizens are more tolerant and constructive.
Also part of the work being carried out in Medellín, the campaign #NOESUNCHISTE is underway, it is a digital communication strategy, jointly designed and produced with the Mayor’s Office of Medellín that seeks to educate the population on issues of racism and discrimination, questioning language use, jokes and humor that refer to ethnic populations. The campaign’s message is that this type of language and humor can be violent acts which harm people´s dignity and become manifestations of racial discrimination. Leaders and knowledgeable Afro-descendants, Raizals, Palenqueros, Romany, academics, artists, public officials, and children from Colombia and other countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Equatorial Guinea and Brazil participated by simply telling a joke or phrase that they were told and explaining why for them it wasn’t so much a joke as it was an insult.
1 Mujeres por la paz brings together women’s organizations as well as women from different backgrounds that are committed to take an active role in the construction of peace in Colombia.
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 22
24 videos depicting daily life around the issue of racism in language and humor.
Lastly, a diagnosis document on socio-demographics and human rights of the Afro- descendant population and the Indigenous political agenda were presented before officials of the Mayor’s Office of Medellín and the municipality’s council members. It is expected that these documents may serve as an advocacy tools.
Result 1.4: Improved “Pruebas Saber” results
IPA’s education strategy continues to advance through the different sub-activities it encompasses. Within the sub-activity of Educapazcifico (Manos Visibles) 916 students of 10th grade presented the Pruebas Saber practice tests in Quibdó, Tumaco and Buenaventura and 331 students who developed their life projects. A comparison between the ex-ante and ex-post tests shows progress in the performance of students in each of the academic institutions, however, the information per student is being processed in order to identify individual improvement in the results. The Educapazífico sub-activity is now finished.
A significant conclusion from Educapazífico is that the life project component needs to be strengthened in students to encourage access to higher education as it provides them with information for better decision making about their future. This is relevant in many IPA territories where the context offers limited opportunities for higher education, employability and entrepreneurship. Life projects also motivate students to continue with their education, preventing them from going into illegal activities. Also, it is important to strengthen the socioemotional component amongst teachers and other school staff as it fosters their compromise towards their institutions and their students; this way they can implement actions that have positive and meaningful effects on the students and can improve their ability to teach. It is worth noticing that in many IPA territories the context proves to be stressful and challenging for teachers as issues like the armed conflict, violence, drug trafficking and adolescent pregnancy hamper their ability to fulfil their mission and the stability of their profession. Mental illness is not rare amongst Colombian teachers.
Similarly, during the closing of the sub-activity managed by the Chocovida Foundation, an activity called ‘Un día en la U’ (One day in University) was held in coordination with the Technological University of Chocó. It involved 11th grade Afro-Colombian students from academic institutions of Bagadó. This space provided information to youths regarding transition possibilities to higher education. In addition, the results of the school support project carried out by Chocovida in 3 rural indigenous academic institutions and 3 urban academic institutions that serve Afro-Colombian population were submitted to the Secretariat of Education of of Chocó. Among the results, it is of noteworthy that 35 participating students will become beneficiaries of the 'Generación E is Equidad’ program of UNC, it funds 100% of the tuition costs as well as an allowance throughout the academic
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 23 program chosen. The Secretariat of Education was invited to join a new leveling phase during 2019.
The agreement with the UNC aims the academic performance of Admission of 200 students to UNC Indigenous and Afro-Colombian Tumaco was achieved (5 from Barbacoas, students in math, reading 30 from Ricaurte and 165 from Tumaco). comprehension and natural sciences in The accepted students graduated from Santander de Quilichao, Caloto, schools supported by IPA in academic performance improvement processes, Puerto Tejada, Tumaco, Quibdó, teacher training and life project Bagadó, Cali, Buenaventura, Riohacha development through the sub-activities and Cartagena. 4,218 diagnostic implemented by UN Tumaco, Manos practice tests were presented (2,568 Visibles and Enseña por Colombia. women and 1,650 men) by students from 9th and 10th grades. In addition, routers and local servers were installed to enable local access to educational materials hosted on the Kuepa platform of the UNC which operates as an offline local server. These servers now operate in 41 academic institutions in the targeted municipalities. Kuepa is an academic leveling platform that offers a wide array of educational resources for secondary education in order to strengthen skills to access higher education.
The PTA sub-activity, in collaboration with MEN, seeks to create and strengthen a community of learning where teachers learn from each other in order to improve the quality of their work in ethnic contexts. During the quarter six PTA tutors were trained and then participated in the first cycle of training and accompaniment to 24 teachers from two schools in Barbacoas and San Juan del Cesar. These institutions currently serve 843 and 105 students respectively. Similarly, the first phase of the cycle, awareness and diagnosis, was completed in the rural boarding school of Puerto Estrella in La Guajira in which ten teachers participated. The work plan for the next quarters includes the kickstart of the PTA in five additional IPA municipalities: Uribia, Medellín, Quibdó, Bagadó and Bojayá, this phase will also include academic performance improvement. Finally, it was agreed with MEN to expand the strategy to eight more schools in Quibdó and eight more schools in Medellin.
Within the Manos a la Escuela sub-activity (also in collaboration with MEN), almost 15,000 stakeholders (parents, students, teachers and other school staff) of 590 rural school communities (150 in IPA territories), participated in the diagnoses about their respective school communities. These are part of part of the institutional response in 51 municipalities (six IPA) affected by the armed conflict. The diagnoses primarily address issues of coexistence, relations, conflict management and resolution, leadership and the vision of what the educational community should be and the role of schools in peacebuilding. This sub-activity is producing good results in terms of GoC response to educational facilities affected by the armed conflict, as well as tackling scarce institutional presence. 65% (9.604) of the participants are women, 34.9% (5.164) are men and 0.1% (8) are transgender.
1,450 students (672 male and 778 female) participated in academic improvement activities within the Ecos de Paz sub-activity. This sub-activity, which is being implemented in collaboration with Enseña por Colombia, seeks to strengthen the academic, social, emotional and occupational skills of participating students. Progress was also made on accompaniment and teacher training in Cartagena and Nariño to strengthen their work with students inside and outside classrooms. Additionally, a teacher of Enseña por Colombia was
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 24 employed by the Llorente school in the rural area of Tumaco. This area has challenging security conditions, so not many teachers are willing to work there; in fact, three people declined the job offer before the current teacher was employed.
Finally, through the Special Fund for Higher Education (Lumni), 120 out of 124 active college students finished their respective semesters while the remaining 4 will resume their studies in the first semester of 2019. Additionally, 3 Wayuu students from the Indigenous boarding school of Nazareth, La Guajira, were granted scholarships for La Salle University’s Utopia Project in Yopal: they will study agronomic engineering. These Lumni administered scholarships for rural students, are a result of the food security work being carried out by IPA, the Alpina Foundation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nazareth.
Result Area 2: Reduced vulnerability to income poverty through economic opportunities
Result 2.1: Targeted urban Afro-Colombian and indigenous persons receive vocational training and formal job placement opportunities through an inclusive process
Empleo para la Prosperidad held its closing ceremony in Cali, with a graphic display showing all phases of the Program. The event included an exhibition of footwear and a gastronomic sample to highlight the results of the training processes. Both ceremonies were attended by the Director of PS, Susana Correa.
The Program trained 4,289 people nationwide to enhance their capacities to access formal employment, improve their quality of life and contribute to bridging gaps related to lack of job related skills. Of these, 2,488 were trained in IPA territories, 913 in technical training and 1,575 in complementary training. As a result, so far 1,052 participants have obtained a formal job in Cartagena, Medellín, Bogotá, Soacha, Cali, Buenaventura and Santander de Quilichao distributed as follows:
Distribution by ethnic group Distribution by sex
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 25
Distribution by ethnic group
The main challenge in the short term is to continue supporting all qualified people that have not been employed yet, so they can find a formal job that allows them to reduce their income related vulnerability while increasing access to opportunities that foster their well- being.
IPA best practices and lessons learned in job placement.
IPA’s approach to Empleo para la Prosperidad includes careful market research to understand the types of profiles required by local enterprises so that job placement strategies are as effective as possible. Two significant experiences show how a single approach can have different effects depending on the industry in which it is applied.
In Cali, research and IPA private sector sensitization work showed that qualified labor was needed in the leather and shoe making industries. Consequently, IPA trained participants in operational and technical skills relevant to these industries; as a result, 302 participants were employed.
In Cartagena the same approach was used: 45 participants were successfully trained in skills related to the jobs required in tuna processing. However, during the recruitment processes, SEATECH, a local food processing company it was determined that most participants did not have the required physical characteristics in terms of height and weight, which made them non-eligible for the available positions. As a result, only 9 participants were hired.
The main difference between the two cases is that in Cali the analysis of the required profiles was made for a cluster if companies whereas in Cartagena it was performed for only one employer. While it is difficult to determine why SEATECH failed to convey such important information from the beginning it is possible to assume that industry wide approaches may yield better results in terms of cost-effectiveness when it comes to specific training schemes for specific industries.
In Cartagena IPA prioritized 34 participants (18 men and 16 women) to take part in the the second phase to strengthen income generation for disabled persons and their caregivers. In collaboration with the Comfenalco Employment Agency training sessions are underway on logistics, health and safety at work, technical English, marketing and sales.
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 26
Also, participants are taking diploma courses on university teaching, and health and safety at work. The contents of the training sessions are based on the analysis of the capacity building needs of the beneficiary ethnic population.
In the sub-activity to promote employability and digital entrepreneurship, progress was made regarding articulation with the private sector as many firms began to be linked to the initiative under different modalities. Partnerships with these enterprises are expected to be consolidated during FY2019 Q2, ensuring the employment of youths in the agreed conditions and providing accompaniment in their incursion into the labor and entrepreneurship worlds.
All of the 399 Afro-Colombian and Indigenous youths trained under the PeG (Piensa en Grande for its acronym in Spanish) methodology participated in vocational activities which allowed them to identify their interests, skills and ICT vocational profile. This stage of the process served as a filter to determine which youths were the most suitable for ICT and which other should be redirected to other vocational areas. Youths who continued the training process in ICT received four months of instruction, between August and November 2018, in areas such as HTML, graphic design, digital marketing, office automation, Web design, Illustrator, Photoshop, community management, multimedia, programming, computer architecture, e-business planning, CRM, application design, virtual English and Excel. After this training was completed, 254 participants graduated in the IPA municipalities where the sub-activity operates: Buenaventura, Cali, Medellín and Tumaco. Taking into account the need to enhance the strengths and the desire to learn of the youths, IPA together with SENA taught English courses in the cities mentioned, except for Cali, where courses will be taught in 2019.
Result 2.2: Inclusive business initiatives developed among urban and rural Afro- Colombian and indigenous communities affected by conflict and private sector companies
IPA’s efforts to promote inclusive business initiatives seek to implement a comprehensive approached based on the following key pillars: evidence based entrepreneurial decisions, exchange of experiences, public and private partnerships, environmental friendliness, capacity development and differential approaches. All these seek to generate a greater impact on ethnic communities.
The closing ceremony for Mi Negocio was held in Buenaventura with a showcase of 7 projects, the "champions" or most committed entrepreneurs of the Program. About 400 participants attended the event. The Program closed achieving its goal of developing, accompanying and capitalizing on 4.260 business initiatives across the country, of which 2201 correspond to IPA municipalities. It is worth mentioning that 500 productive units are located in Mocoa2, where IPA, through Mi Negocio supported the stabilization strategy after the humanitarian emergency that occurred in FY2017 Q2. Participant distributions resulting from the implementation of this sub-activity are as follows:
2 Only 68 of these have been accounted for in IPA performance indicator no. 9 as the rest of these business units do not belong to ethnic entrepreneurs.

9.498 households (5,622 in IPA territories) are now officially participants of IRACA in Caldas, Cauca, Cesar, Chocó, Guainía, La Guajira, Nariño, Putumayo and Valle del Cauca. After an arduous process, the enrollment process closed during the quarter to give way to the formulation and implementation of food security, institutional strengthening and productive projects.
The ethnic-territorial development vision plans were developed with the participating community councils and resguardos. These are used to identify the needs and opportunities of each ethnic territory from which the specific community diagnoses (245 already made, 180 in IPA territories) are developed, these, in turn, provide information to identify and formulate the projects to be implemented in the three components. Households and local authorities all participate in the diagnosis activities. In the same way, Participants in the different discussion and formulation 128 food security projects were activities share a common meal, like this one in La formulated and validated (75 in IPA Guajira. Photo: Rommel Rojas Rubio municipalities). These are aimed at strengthening the access to food within the territories through the provision of supplies, tools and seeds. IPA has gone through extensive efforts to guarantee that food security projects respect and promote the cultural and social integrity of the communities in which
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 28 they are implemented, taking also into consideration the environmental impact they may have. Finally, 05 projects for social and organizational strengthening were formulated (62 in IPA territories) based on the ICOE. This work is being carried out in tandem with ethnic authorities on issues of governance, participation, leadership, environmental education, GBV, social control, financial literacy.
The business program sub-activity for Afro-Colombians with disabilities that is being carried out in Puerto Tejada made progress during this quarter. A business plan was developed to operate a print shop of advertising materials, 20 people with disabilities will work in this business. Currently, 20 people (4 women and 16 men) completed the 40-hour training course from SENA in design and are consistently working on soft skills workshops such as decision making, assertive communication and teamwork. Steps have been taken and an agreement with Bavaria SA is expected for the purchase of advertising products once the productive unit starts operations.
For the 2nd phase of the income generation sub-activity for persons with disabilities and their caregivers 20 participants were trained in Santander de Quilichao (14 women and 6 men). The training course, implemented by SENA focused on entrepreneurship and on soft skills like teamwork, assertive communication and financial education. After the course, 12 participants were selected to develop their business plans, 8 from Santander de Quilichao and 4 from Caloto. This selection has based on the commitment shown by participants, or lack thereof.
The women artisans of La Guajira received materials and training kits in October as part of the training sessions given by SENA, these were used for their participation in Expoartesanías in December. The artisans made a demonstration of their craft during the fair held in Bogotá, conveying the importance of Wayuu weaving as living heritage in the territory. During the fair, a commercial showcase was set up with about 300 handicraft products, including bags, wristlets, and cosmetic bags. The artisans participated in other showcases during the quarter: two artisans (one with disability and her caretaker) from Uribia participated sold their product in the International Conference on renewable Energies in Riohacha. Also, artisans participated in the gatherings of Indigenous Economies of Colombia, a series of events for knowledge exchanges and commercial experiences in which also Afro-Colombian and Romany individuals participated. These spaces were a result of a partnership with MINCIT and Artesanías de Colombia in Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Neiva and Riohacha.
The filigrane collectives in Guapi, Barbacoas and Tumaco that participate in the sub-activity to strengthen skills and competences for the promotion of economic inclusion (in partnership with Artesanías de Colombia and Save The Children) took part in the Afro- Descendant, Black, Raizal and Palenquera Bussiness Meeting in Cartagena, in November. This meeting seeks to preserve the identity of the NARP communities through the commercial strengthening of their productive processes as it advertises diversity, cultural richness and the popular character of these groups, all within the framework of an event that encourages access to new markets and business opportunities. They also participated in Expoartesanias in December with the accompaniment of Artesanías de Colombia. The launching of their brands was held with great success at the Bogotá fair and this opportunity was of great importance to advertise the jewelry collectives Jegua, Mambi and El Morro as well as to boost their sales.

400 hectares of cocoa crops that belong to participants of the Cocoa Productive Chain sub- activity were intervened in Tumaco to increase productivity. There have been follow-up visits and environmental assessments on 200 plots and 800 producers have been equipped with working tools. This sub-activity strengthens viable legal economic alternatives in an area plagued by illicit drug crops: it addresses the different stages of the production chain with an important emphasis on the improvement of Representatives for the community councils quality, yield per hectare (Tumaco has a yield of from Tumaco showcasing their work at the 250 kg / ha while the national average is of 450 Chocoshow. kg / has) and marketing with big clients such as Casa Luker. On a separate note, five cocoa producing community councils from Tumaco that participate in IRACA showcased their product at the Chocoshow trade fair in Bogotá, displaying the characteristics of the cocoa that comes from that area. The participants managed to get 23 leads of national and international enterprises interested in purchasing their product.
Result Area 3: Increased awareness and respect for ethnic diversity
Result 3.1: Cultural heritage initiatives identified and supported
The restaurant El Binde was opened in December at the San Jose Stronghold in Cartagena in the context of the African Diaspora sub-activity. The inauguration was attended by women tradition bearers, members of the community, the IOM Chief of Mission, and the Minister of Culture, among others. At least seven formal jobs will be created through this initiative. Also, within this sub-activity, research on traditional cuisine was completed and drafting of the findings is underway. This investigation on traditional cuisine and memory in the Afro-Colombian communities in the urban and rural areas of Cartagena seeks to promote and strengthen cultural entrepreneurship and gastronomic heritage in the city.
The sub-activity Saberes y Sabores Negros de Santiago de Cali seeks to characterize the local Afro-Colombian cuisine with roots in different regions of the Colombian Pacific coast. During the quarter the creation of a document that will allow a conceptual rapprochement to the reality of black culinary practices in that city was started. A mapping process of food- related businesses and underway as the preliminary findings show that these type ventures are mostly led by women. Traditional cuisine requires research, promotion and appropriation in a context where food consumption habits are changing, bringing about the loss of intergenerational transmission and little interest from youths to discover and keep this culinary heritage. Cuisine is a reference point for the construction of identity and has historical and anthological value as evidence of adaptation to a territory; however, upon arrival to a big city, that knowledge is at risk.
The sub-activity for strengthening the Juan José Nieto Mega Library in Cartagena was completed. During the quarter, an organizational structure proposal for the library was submitted to the Institute of Heritage and Culture of Cartagena of for review and adoption. The proposal also includes specific management activities aimed at increasing the reach,
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 30 sustainability and positive effects of this cultural center. IPA also supported the center with the acquisition and set up of an information system that includes cataloging, user databases and loan and return control. Likewise, anti-theft mechanisms were installed at the library’s access points. An unexpected and positive result of the process was that Dankir Ortiz, a librarian who was hired by IPA for the implementation of the cataloging and loan and return processes was appointed the library’s Director (under review with the commencement of the new City’s administration). The Mega Library and its model of social intervention aims to be a reference point not only for its technological and architectural features but also because of its focus on the preservation and dissemination of Afro-Colombian literature. This is a tool for the visualization of the role and impact of Afro-Colombians in the social, economic, cultural and political history of Colombia.
The implementation of technical activities within the framework of the sub-activity to strengthen the Muntú-Bantú Memory Center in Quibdó continued during the quarter: IPA provided technical assistance for the update of the inventory and research documents of the Centre; it will serve as input for the definition of the work plan to be implemented during FY2019. A key element in the Muntú-Bantú strategy is the promotion Afro-diasporic memory via technology. Furthermore, the sub-activity seeks to encourage youth leadership through the appropriation of Afro-Colombian history and culture. Quibdó is one of the leading territories in promoting the legacy of the African diaspora through an articulated work with local schools, and the Centre contributes greatly in this effort.
The municipality of Barbacoas was endowed with five sets of traditional musical instruments and five sets of traditional dance costumes in order to support its efforts to encourage appropriation processes of cultural heritage, especially with regards generational replacement in the city. This support was provided within the framework of the International Meeting of Black Expression sub-activity. This initial endowment benefits 50 children and adolescents residing at both urban and rural areas of the municipality, they will participate in a 60-hour training process in music, dance and traditional singing.
Result 3.2: Awareness of indigenous and Afro-Colombian cultures and contributions promoted
The sub-activity for the strengthening of public policy on ethnic communications in Colombia, in partnership with MinTic, was closed with the delivery and validation of the technical and financial reports. The public policy documents on ethnic communication and public policy guidelines for NARP communities are an important input for ethnic communities with regard to their participation in the formulation of the 2019-2023 PND. Communications policies help ethnic communities in their reaffirmation processes, raising awareness about having their own communication in an IT driven era. The importance of ethnic own communication lies in the right of communities to communicate in their own language, in accordance with their customs and beliefs and without being excluded from national participation processes. The policy and guidelines are the result of a joint effort between the communities, MinTic and IPA to promote a specific and appropriate communications regulations.
Support was provided for the first Convention of Afro-Aesthetics, Identity and Ethnic- Development, which was held in Cali and led by Afro-Colombian women coming from the worlds of fashion, tourism, aesthetics and gastronomy. This event is part of the visibility strategy regarding new ethnic role models, and seeks to disseminate entrepreneurship initiatives led by black women, who make contributions to Colombian
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 31 society from such diverse fields as biodiversity and culture. During the Convention a trade fair was held, in which different exhibitors were able to exhibit their products and creations and establish business networks. On the other hand, an academic space was generated in which different speakers talked about their artistry and their experiences as entrepreneurs in the culture sector.
The characterization study on Pacific culture as an economic and cultural asset was completed; it studies the economic, cultural and social contributions of traditional celebrations in the territories that they are held. The paper focuses primarily on the Petronio Álvarez Festival and is the result of a process of inquiry that was conducted with attendees, non-attendees and exhibitors in which three specific areas were assessed:
• Social Value: positive cultural interactions that promote intercultural dialogue and diversity, as well as the dissemination of cultural heritage. • Cultural Value: symbolic and artistic manifestations of the festival that reflect the imaginary and identity of a community. • Economic value: income generation and job creation.
The study recognizes that cultural manifestations can be characterized as cultural assets, insofar as they are the product of customs and traditions connected to the cultural heritage of communities. They can also be characterized as economic assets to the extent that their recognition not only helps to improve the living conditions of people, but they are also spaces of knowledge exchange in which cultural consumption takes place. The document is to be published and socialized to the Ministry of Culture, the Valle del Cauca´s Governor’s Office and the Mayor`s Office of Cali to demonstrate how black communities and their culture contribute to de development of the Pacific region in general and Cali in particular.
The delivery of eight sets of traditional Pacific music instruments (Marimbas, Güasas, Cununos and Bombos, all part of the Marimba ensemble), took place in Barbacoas and Tumaco, furnishing eight JAC that participate in the sub-activity for artistic strengthening with the Telembies Foundation. These instruments are already being used to train participants in music and dancing. Small music and dance performances were carried out by each of the groups in training, making the progress made visible and highlighting Young artists From Barbacoas pose with its contributions of the sub-activity. The delivery their new instruments and costumes. of these music instruments is key because it paves the way to ensuring the safeguarding of marimba music which is an integral part of the Afro-Colombian heritage. Culture is a social strengthening strategy as it stimulates relations in the community and highlights the role of community agents such as the JAC; social strengthening, in turn, is fundamental in peacebuilding.
In Buenaventura, the FESOC Foundation excelled in the set-up of 15 sports clubs for women and girls, all legally registered. The model includes technical training in soccer for young footballers and training for women referees. These clubs provide opportunities for personal and sports development under adequate conditions; they promote values related
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 32 to sportsmanship, community sense of belonging and civic duties. They can also potentially provide professional opportunities for soccer players and referees.
Result Area 4: Provide humanitarian assistance to Afro-Colombian and indigenous people
Through the Food Security Learning Center in Nazareth sustainable solutions have been reached for the provision of drinking water and food security. The five participant communities, which comprise 95 families (around 300 people), are growing their own food and locally selling the surplus, expanding their scope of alternatives for better living conditions. Part if the strategy includes a dairy processing center, which has already been built and handed over to the participants. This sub-activity is being implemented in collaboration with the Alpina Foundation and the MRE.
The accompaniment to the return of the Jiw community to their ancestral land (Barranco Ceiba) continues with the construction of their houses, which is being done by community members with technical assistance from SENA: progress is at around 90%. The preparation for the construction of two temporary classrooms started as well, these will pave the way to enable education for 60 Jiw children; the construction sites have received environmental permits issued by the Municipal Mayor’s Office.
Grants Fund
The APS call that closed in November focusing on OCS organizational strengthening, youth leadership, cultural undertakings and ethnic communication processes received 90 concept notes. If these 35 were approved, and must submit the full technical proposal along with the documents determined in the terms of reference. The municipalities with approved concept notes were: Guapi, Timbiquí, Riohacha and San Juan del Cesar, Soacha, Ricaurte, Bagadó and Bojayá. Within gender APS the technical selection Committee assessed three proposals but only one exceeded the required minimum score (70 points) to continue the negotiation and awarding process.
With respect to the second phase of support to the Ethnic Commission for Peace, approval was obtained internally from IOM for the signing of the agreement with the ONIC during FY2019 Q2.
Through the Grants Fund, 30 agreements are being executed with organizations representing ethnic communities such as Resguardo Awa Gran Rosario, Resguardo Awa Magui and Chocovida Foundation. Amongst the supported sub-activities some address the differentiated approaches that IPA works with: FESOC for instance, promotes women’s participation while Colombia Diversa works on the protection of economic, social and cultural rights of LGBTI persons. Also, the Triunfemos Foundation in Caloto seeks to promote cultural activities for the persons with disabilities as a means of social inclusion and heritage preservation. To date, USD 953,962 have been executed under these agreements.

4. ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Preparation and delivery of the participant database to the CNC was performed for completing the baseline for indicators 1 and 10 of the Activity. Some municipalities like Bojayá, Caloto, Ricaurte and Soacha still lag behind in terms of direct participants, however, it is expected that the commencement of sub-activities during FY2019 Q2 changes this situation. Baseline field work will be carried out during FY2019 Q2.
Coordination with Other USAID Activities and other donors IPA collaborated with the Arcángeles Foundation and VISP in the framework of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities to publicize the Happiness Carnival, which was held on December 3 in Caloto. 2,228 people were reached on Facebook.
There is also coordination with USAID’s implementing partner PACT World in the socialization of IPA experiences in the implementation of the ICOE. International Day of Persons with Disabilities In Nariño IPA actively participates in articulation activities with other USAID supported teams to work in a coordinated manner with Iocal GoC institutions and other stakeholders. Also, IPA is collaborating with the Justicia para una Paz Sostenible Program so that the later uses the IPA supported formulation document on the justice mandate of the Awá Maguí Resguardo as input for the work it is carrying out with other resguardos in the area.
The programs Territorio de Oportunidades and Programa de Gobernabilidad Regional supported the IPA sub-activity for the improvement of the infrastructure of schools in targeted municipalities affected by the armed conflict. This support allowed IPA to move forward with the prioritization of schools to be included in the intervention.
IPA has collaborated with VISP in various activities within the implementation of "Mi Negocio" in La Guajira, Bolívar and Valle del Cauca. VISP is currently implementing this strategy targeting victims of violence. Challenges and Lessons Learned
CSO strengthening: The implementation of activities, especially those regarding APS agreements has been affected by threats and assassinations against community leaders, and by the activities of illegal armed groups. This has generated considerable risk for the communities and has resulted in delays or obligated changes in sub-activity agendas in Nariño, Cauca, Valle del Cauca and Chocó. IPA has thus sought to strengthen the autonomous territory protection mechanisms, as is the case of the Indigenous Guard and Cimarrona Guard; also, it has supported humanitarian mingas and coordinated preventive and protection measures with the UN, Unidad Nacional de Protección and the GoC Ombudsman office.
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 34
Education: The strategy has posed different challenges throughout its execution, but the main challenge during the quarter was data collection for performance indicator 6. This has occurred for a number of reasons: First, the number of students reported in the school’s registries is the base on which participant projections are made, these do not match to the number of students who are actively going to school. Second, school absenteeism is frequent (exacerbated in the second half of the year) and many students do not participate in data collection tests as they are not present at school when the tests take place. Third, dropout rates in the upper grades is high in IPA municipalities, which prevents many students from taking the ex-post test, this is particularly acute in interventions that are running from one school year to the next. This implies that the number of students eligible for the indicator will decrease about 25% at end line data collection. Finally, many students do not self-recognize as being ethnic or do not belong to an ethnic group, which means they cease to be eligible for the indicator. This happens because even though IPA targets schools whose student population is mainly ethnic, there are also mestizo students and it would prove inadequate and even harmful to exclude mestizo students from the interventions. IPA has taken remedial actions for data collection, requiring a monthly data records from all implementers regardless of the implementation phase.
Economic opportunities: Some participants in the filigrane collectives in the Pacific tend to abandon the sub-activity as income generation does not meet their expectations. Regional IPA staff play an important role in maintaining participant motivation and interest.
The peak season of cocoa production in Tumaco has resulted in limited participant attendance to technical and environmental assistance meetings. Also, it is worth mentioning that due to public order there have been difficulties for accessing certain areas, however activities have been severely affected because the population is responsive and committed to the sub-activity as they perceive it as beneficial.
16 participants of the digital entrepreneurship and employability sub-activity have abandoned the program for a number of reasons: Some they have obtained a job and do not have enough time; others have moved away from the city of intervention; some have not been able pay for the transportation to go and return from the training sessions; and others have faced personal problems or simply have lacked motivation. To minimize participant abandonment the sub-activity has had to negotiate with SENA additional training sessions for students who missed out on key classes. Also, IOM has established alliances with GoC institutions in order to provide free transportation. Finally, the implementing staff have coached some youths to keep them motivated and committed to the process.
Another challenge faced by the Telefónica sub-activity is the low academic level of some participants, this prevents them developing certain IT related capacities. To tackle this, the sub-activity is implementing additional training in basic school subjects and identifying job opportunities which do not require a high educational level.
The IT focused sub-activity also faces the challenge of private sector involvement, especially regarding job placement. To address this, various tactics have been used: executive breakfasts and information sessions to motivate, sensitize and motivate managers and CEOs; student visits to various firms to generate confidence in the process; differentiated strategies in each intervention city to consolidate job allocation; strategical alliances with guilds and business associations; and co-funding strategies for the participants salaries.
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 35
Heritage: Heritage preservation and protection pose a challenge in the sense that that some key local GoC institutions are not responsive to the cultural needs of ethnic communities nor they align their work plans to the directives of various national ministries. Also, it proves difficult that local CSOs are empowered in terms of discourse, which limits their advocacy capabilities. Furthermore, security issues have delayed sub-activity implementation in Buenaventura, Barbacoas and Tumaco. IPA’s efforts will include more articulation with GoC institutions to facilitate heritage protection and the sustainability of its interventions. Humanitarian Assistance: Heavy rains has affected the implementation of activities in La Guajira and Guaviare, limiting access to remote areas and increasing transportation costs. IPA consults with local communities to monitor the weather so that visits to remote areas are performed when it is most convenient.
Grants fund: The security situation in many intervention areas has affected the progress of APS sub-activities. The grant for the Resguardo Awa Gran Rosario had to be suspended for two months due to the assassination of local leader Holmes Alberto Niscue Juspian and the threats on other resguardo representatives who have had to flee the territory. In December, Edwin Gregorio Dagua Ipia, Governor of the Resguardo Huellas de Caloto was assassinated, and even though no sub-activity is being directly implemented in the resguardo, participants with disabilities in the Triunfemos sub-activity come from it. Finally, in Buenaventura, the FESOC and Huellas del Pacífico grants have suffered delays and traumas due to local violence.

Annex 2: Highlight: Gastronomy, heritage and inclusion.
Representatives from San Antonio show their peers that food and craftsmanship are deeply related.
The Naya River territory in Valle del Cauca is composed of 64 villages that make up the Community Council that bears the same name. Most of these communities are far away from one another making interaction and exchange between them quite difficult. In order to foster the relationships and exchanges between some of these communities and also to highlight their great productive and gastronomic richness, IRACA organized a community meal (olla comunitaria) in Puerto Merizalde. This village, two hours away by boat from Buenaventura, serves as hub for the Community Council. It was the ideal place the 17 participating villages to gather and share their ancestral customs and recipes. To travel to the Naya River territory first one must arrive to Buenaventura, Colombia´s main port on the Pacific. From that point a long journey by boat begins, navigating along the coast and up the river, until Puerto Merizalde is in sight, this is one of the 17 villages of the Community Council targeted by the IRACA Program. The river basin defines the territory and divides it into three main zones: the Upper Naya, the Medium Naya and the Lower Naya. The Lower Naya is the closest to the sea and in its mangroves is easy to find crab, shrimp and prawn. In the community meal it was possible to appreciate how an atollao de camarón muchillá (shimp) and an encocado de jaiba (crab with coconut sauce) is cooked. The Middle Naya is rich in river fish such as pelada, bagre, and sierra, while in the Upper Naya it is common to find armadillos. Participants in the community meal saw how a tapao de armadillo with plantain and potato is prepared. All 51 community leaders and representatives had the opportunity to show and at the same time learn about their culinary traditions. In the words Jesus Arley Gallego Perea, member of the Board
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 41 of the Community Council “we take this opportunity to share the tricks of the cuisine of each region”. The villages of Golondro, San Francisco, San Antonio, Aguaclara, La Bartola, San Francisco Adentro and San Francisco de Asis represented the Upper Naya. From the Middle Naya the villages of Primavera, El Pastico, Alambique, and Palobrujo were present. The Lower Naya was represented by Calle Larga, Chamuscao, El Cacao and El Trueno. Some of the representatives had to travel up to 6 hours in canoes and boats to attend the invitation made by PS and IPA. This meal enabled the communities to share their menus, customs, flavors and even enjoy the sounds of the lullabies and dances of the different communities. Also, this gastronomic meeting served as an opportunity to learn that craftsmanship is closely linked to food as the dishes and spoons were all made from local wood and were exhibited during the event. Most importantly, the community representatives had the opportunity to be together and share their views regarding heritage and its relation to food. These community meals are a tactic devised by IRACA to foster community relations, generate discussion scenarios regarding issues like heritage and community development, and also, to formulate the projects that make up the IRACA strategy in ethnic territories: food security, organizational strengthening and productive endeavors.

Annex 3: Highlight: Preserving heritage through entrepreneurship: filigrane
Mayerly Castillo and Maicol Estupiñán, members of the Mambi Collective, proudly showing their art and their heritage.
IPA’s strategy to promote cultural heritage through income generation, reducing vulnerability and expanding the scope of alternatives for social promotion can be explained through its Afro- Colombian filigrane sub-activity.
Armed conflict, social inequality and poverty severely affect many communities in the Pacific. These issues affect the preservation of cultural heritage as social dynamics change and economic and work opportunities are become scarce, especially for the youth. This is why IPA, in collaboration with Artesanías de Colombia and Save the Children is supporting three collectives of jewelers who create silver filigrane pieces in Guapi (Juegua Collective), Tumaco (Morro Collective) and Barbacoas (Mambi Collective).
The filigrane initiative focuses on developing the artistic and entrepreneurial capacities of the 48 participants and the three collectives, promoting cultural heritage based economic alternatives whilst motivating the youths to abstain emigrating to larger cities in search of jobs. Participants work to improve their working techniques, designs, negotiation capabilities and commercial strategies.
Maicol Estupiñán, one of the artisans that made the voyage to Bogotá explained: “Mambi was created because there was a need for many youths that were lost, that didn’t have opportunities, to get involved in something. Jewelery opened its doors to them and showed them that this form of art is also our tradition. This project has opened many doors for us and has enabled us to show
INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) 43 ourselves as a territory because we are a community that is always seeking that our people move forward.”
Filigrane Collectives facts:
- The three collectives made sales of more COP 20 million during Expoartesanías in December. - The next stop is Expoartesanos, in Medellín in May. - The handicraft training is carried out by well established masters. They make sure that cultural heritage is passed onto the next generations. - This sub-activity promotes the participation of women in a form of art that traditionally has been under the domain of men.
