EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executing International Organization for Migration (IOM Mission in Organization: Colombia) Activity Duration: November 2016 – November 2020 Key Activity MinEducación, MinCultura, Departamento para la Partner(s): Prosperidad Social, ONIC, Afrodes Reporting Period: January 1 – March 31 2019 Total confirmed funds: Total cash disbursements: USD 50,000,000 USD 21,504,888 Summary of Key Quarterly Results During this period, progress was made in each of Inclusion for Peace Activity’s (IPA) four intermediate results (IRs), including: Result Area1: Community and Institutional Strengthening GoC response to the differential needs of ethnic communities Important advances were made in the implementation of the ethnic approach within the work carried out by the CEV in areas such as data collection and interpretation methodology, gender analysis and communications strategy. ICAE based strengthening activities for 17 municipal and departmental governments started during the quarter. These seek to improve the capabilities in planning, institutional management and accountability with an ethnic approach. We expect to have finished this phase and collect end line data by FY2020 Q1. In Medellín, participatory thematic roundtables were held, to validate the information from the Afro-descendant municipal plan. This step is a substantial step forward in the drafting of the final document. Community and civil society strengthening The Ethnic Commission presented the first report on compliance with the ethnic chapter, the main points of the report argue that even though there have been delays in the fast track processes, progress has been made in all points agreed upon: Integral Rural Reform, Political Participation, End of Conflict, Illicit Drugs, Integral System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Guarantees of Non-Repetition and Implementation, Verification and Endorsement. The report also highlights the continued human right violations and delays in collective reparations that affect ethnic communities. ICOE based strengthening activities were carried out with 8 of the 20 targeted CSO that were initially diagnosed. IPA seeks to improve CSO capabilities in planning, project management, communications and administration, among others, so that ethnic civil society can advocate more effectively for the aspirations of the communities
