1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Executing Organization: International Organization for Migration (IOM Mission in Colombia) Activity Duration: November 2016 – November 2020 Key Activity Partner(s): MOI, MEN, MinCultura, Prosperidad Social, ONIC, Afrodes Reporting Period: April 1 – June 30, 2018 Total confirmed funds: Total cash disbursements: USD 50,000,000 USD 13,005,258.53
Summary of Key Quarterly Results During this period, substantive progress was made in each of Inclusion for Peace Activity’s (IPA) four intermediate results (IRs), including:
Result Area1: Community and Institutional Strengthening IPA completed Phase I of its initiative to strengthen the Racial Discrimination Observatory, including adopting a tool of statistical monitoring of racial discrimination and publishing its first report on racial discrimination. 28 public officials completed IPA’s online course in management of inter and intra cultural conflict, while 60 community leaders have completed 75 percent of the in- person course. Additionally, 170 community leaders have completed the course on Citizen Oversight Mechanisms. IPA applied the ICOE an additional 37 organizations. Two grantee organizations began implementing APS projects, including Cocomacia and the Circus for All Foundation. IPA completed its diagnosis of the fulfillment of ethnic communities’ rights in Medellin, in preparation for developing two city-wide public policies for ethnic people. With respect to improving students’ scores on Pruebas Saber exams, 449 students undertook tutoring activities, while 230 teachers began training to improve their teaching skills. To implement the Manos a la Escuela initiative to promote peacebuilding through education, IPA completed 100 social and infrastructure diagnoses. 117 students began their university studies thanks to financial assistance from the Special Fund for Higher Education.
Result Area 2: Economic Opportunities IPA began training 2,461 individuals from the second cohort of participants in the Empleo para la Prosperidad strategy. 463 graduates from the first cohort obtained employment through this initiative. 1,064 at-risk youth began their formation process to learn skills for employment in the technology sector as part of the Emprendimiento Digital initiative. Fundación Arcángeles selected the second cohort of participants for its initiative for income generation for individuals with disabilities. 800 families registered to participate in activities to strengthen the value chain of cacao production in several black community councils in Tumaco, and began the process of rehabilitating 250 cacao trees in each productive unit. 2,637 participants in Mi Negocio received assets valued at COP two million to launch their small businesses. IPA made progress in six areas of the IRACA program: (1) completing the socialization and coordination process with 28 black community councils and 48 indigenous resguardos; (2) reaching 95 percent completion of community socialization and household affiliation (9,072 households); (3) definition of development vision in 77 communities; (4) applying the ICOE to 55 ethnic organizations as part of IRACA’s
5 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) organizational and social strengthening component; (5) completing 76 percent of community diagnoses; (6) approved 25 food security projects that will benefit 1,619 households.1
Result Area 3: Heritage and Cultural Diversity APS grantee organizations in Cauca and Nariño (Llanobajo Black Community Council, Casa de la Cultura Digital, Fundación Art Cultural Harmony, and Federación de Empresas Solidarias y Sociales de Colombia) began implementing activities regarding issues of recognition of ethnic groups, vindication of cultural traditions, and safeguarding cultural heritage as an important component of social development. IPA supported the premiere of the Pájaros de Verano movie in Uribia, which recounts the story of a Wayuú indigenous family during the marijuana production and trafficking boom of the 1970s. Around 2,000 people attended the premiere. To commemorate the Month of African Heritage, throughout May, IPA held a series of activities and events in Soacha, Cartagena, Cali, and Bogotá, including workshops with 45 children and youth in Soacha and Cartagena regarding African heritage, discrimination, and ethnic identity and the presentation “Memories of 20 Years of the Petronio Alvarez Pacific Music Festival” in the Center for Ethnic Memory in Cali. IPA supported the VI Assembly of the Ibero-American Network of Bodies and Organizations Against Discrimination, held in Cartagena, in which 300 people from 12 Ibero- American countries discussed issues regarding non-discrimination in peacebuilding, ethnic identities and their contributions to development.
Result Area 4: Humanitarian Assistance IPA continued to improve access to clean water and promoting better sanitation and hygiene practices among the indigenous Wayuú people in La Guajira by providing 310 Wayuú families a 20 liter bucket for water storage and a water filter. IPA also installed three tanks with a storage capacity of 5,000 liters in the Pesuapa community. In order to improve food sovereignty for 104 Wayuú families as well as the nutrition storage capacity of a boarding school for 1,575 students live and study, IPA began implementation of the initiative “Illustrative Learning Center: Building Food Sovereignty with the Wayuú indigenous people as a tool for income generation in the boarding school in Nazareth, Uribia.” In order to respond to the humanitarian crisis facing the Jiw indigenous community as a result of the community’s forced displacement and recent return to their ancestral lands, IPA undertook a needs identification of 47 households. IPA also selected a location and began the administrative procedures to build two temporary classrooms in the resguardo to ensure access to education for 60 Jiw children.
Differentiated Approach
Different population groups have different needs and priorities, and effective socioeconomic inclusion involves recognizing these differences and adopting a differentiated response to address specific needs. Although by definition IPA includes a differential ethnic approach focusing in the different needs and interests of Afro-Colombians and indigenous peoples, within these groups, IPA prioritizes the needs of women and girls, LGBTI individuals, persons with disabilities, , and children and youth. IPA has taken a variety of actions to ensure that these populations are taken into account in each of its sub-activities.
1. Each sub-activity must articulate its strategy regarding differentiated approaches. For example, several sub-activities require a certain percentage of participants to be women.
1 These numbers reflect progress in IPA and non-IPA targeted municipalities. The breakdown is provided in Section 3, Result Area 2.
6 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017)
2. The gender and ethnic issues advisors actively participate in the development and execution of sub-activities. For example, the gender advisor reviewed all the APS proposals and ensured the selection of several related to gender. 3. IPA has incorporated specific questions regarding women’s participation and the inclusion of a differential gender approach in the ICOE and ICAE. Additionally, improvement plans based on the results of these Indices include specific sensitization activities and activities to disseminate the inclusion and participation of women, youth, individuals with disabilities, and LGBTI people. 4. IPA has worked with APS grantee organizations to ensure the participation of women and to strengthen the role of women in their organizations. For example, with Cocomacia, IPA has coordinated activities with women leaders to reduce domestic violence and gender discrimination, and designed a proposal to strengthen the political and social participation of women. 5. In order to facilitate women’s participation in IPA initiatives, various projects adopt flexible schedules and accompaniment strategies that allow women to fulfill their additional responsibilities related to care work, or that provide other solutions to ensure that this work is accomplished. For example, in the initiative with the Pueblo Eperara Siapidara community, the men take on responsibilities traditionally performed by women, specifically cooking, in order to allow women to attend classes. 6. The communications area of IPA provides accompaniment to beneficiary CSOs in order to ensure the visibility of their gender work among a broader audience. For example, IPA has worked with Fundación Arcoiris and Caribe Afirmativo to strengthen these organizations’ communications strategies, and to disseminate their communication pieces regarding the realities and rights of ethnic LGBTI individuals.
Inclusion for Peace Activity (IPA) Regions
IPA’s work spans 21 municipalities in 9 departments (as well as Mocoa, Putumayo for humanitarian relief efforts), comprising 36% of the national Afro-Colombian and indigenous population; a high number of victims of the armed conflict live in these municipalities. While several sub-activities are national in nature, the majority target specific concerns in specific municipalities, regions, and populations. IPA has regional offices in seven departments and regional liaisons in two municipalities; regionally based IPA employees play a crucial role in the implementation of sub- activities. Where feasible due to issues of space, this report highlights the regional focus of each sub-activity discussed. Annex 2 includes a map showing the different regions where IPA works.
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 will 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:
7 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017)
▪ 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.
Context
Progress and setbacks in the peace process Recently, various international bodies and civil society organizations have issued detailed reports regarding the progress of implementation of the Peace Agreements. Despite differences in areas of focus and level of detail, these reports all agree on several key points.2
▪ The most successfully implemented components of the Peace Agreements are those related to the “end of the armed conflict,” including former combatants handing over their weapons and their concentration in transitional zones. Additionally, the de-mining process is underway and on track to completely demine the country. This has led to an impressive reduction in military, guerrilla, and civilian deaths. ▪ The creation of institutions necessary to implementing the Peace Agreements, such as the Truth Commission, the Missing Persons Unit, and the Special Peace Jurisdiction are also important developments, in spite of the various operational difficulties they face. ▪ Another area of the Peace Agreements that is on track is related to political participation, as the Opposition Statute entered into force this July. Unfortunately, the legislation to create special peace districts (congressional seats for areas most affected by the conflict) has yet to be approved. Additionally, the former FARC-EP has transformed into a legal political party. ▪ Comprehensive Rural Reform is faltering, in particular with respect to the implementation of Development Plans with a Territorial Approach (PDET, participatory planning instruments to transform the municipalities most affected by the armed conflict and poverty). These delays are due to the lack of resources, and coordination and planning between relevant institutions ▪ The components of the Peace Agreements related to illicit crop substitution are also facing significant delays. While a large number of families joined crop substitution programs, long-term measures to ensure the sustainability of these programs are lacking. Additionally, illegal armed actors in various regions pressure communities not to

participate in programs related to crop substitution, which adds to the existing distrust many communities have of the government and government institutions. ▪ There is increasing concern regarding delays in fulfilling the legal, political, and socioeconomic reintegration of former combatants. The government has provided food subsidies to former combatants located in Territorial Spaces for Training and Reincorporation (ETCR), as well as assisted them in opening bank accounts and their affiliation to the national health system. However, these areas continue to lack basic infrastructure, including access to electricity, water, and even bathrooms. Additionally, the long-term investments needed to ensure the successful social and economic reintegration of ex-combatants, including productive projects, have been slow to materialize, requiring the government to extend food subsidies until July 31 of this year. Additionally, measures to ensure the safety of former combatants have been insufficient, and the number of former combatants and their families killed at the hands of the ELN, Clan del Golfo, and FARC-EP dissidents continues to rise. To date, 80 former combatants and family members of ex-combatants have been assassinated, and there are illegal armed actors and structures present in the communities surrounding 24 of the 26 ETCR. ▪ Ethnic organizations and communities, as well as LGBT and women’s groups argue that the government is failing to adopt specific measures to implement a differential approach in its policies and programs related to the Peace Agreements, in particular the Ethnic Chapter.
A fundamental challenge facing the implementation of the Peace Agreements is the historic absence of State presence in many of the areas the FARC-EP controlled. This lack of State presence facilitated and fueled the armed conflict, and it is impossible for the State to immediately have an effective presence in many far-flung, hard to access areas. This lack of institutions makes implementing comprehensive land reform, illicit crop substitution, and other structural changes a daunting task. Additionally, the lack of state presence has permitted other illegal armed groups to dispute and claim power in the areas the FARC left. According to CSO Justicia y Paz, of the 242 municipalities the FARC-EP controlled, 72 currently face serious security problems due to the presence of and disputes between illegal armed actors, including FARC dissidents, the ELN, which has expanded its territorial presence since the Peace Agreements with the FARC, and paramilitary groups.
Systematic threats and assassinations against human rights defenders and community leaders Departments including Nariño, Cauca, and Guaviare have seen a surge of violence carried out by illegal armed groups that have increased their control in areas abandoned by the FARC-EP. They exert significant pressure against community and social groups and leaders, including a sharp increase in assassinations of leaders, many of whom are indigenous or Afro-Colombian. Reports on the exact number of community leaders and human rights defenders are conflicting, and report between 81 and 206 individuals assassinated during 2017.3 During 2018, between 46 and 123 leaders and human rights defenders have been murdered.4

In addition to the massive human rights violations these assassinations and threats involve, they also affect IPA’s work, as those targeted are often community leaders and human rights defenders in IPA targeted municipalities. Moreover, the majority of those killed are indigenous, Afro- Colombian, and campesino leaders, leaders of community action boards (JAC), and more generally community leaders who support participation in policies and programs to implement the Peace Agreements, including illicit crop substitution and land restitution.5 Additionally, the areas most affected by these assassinations include Cauca, Antioquia, Nariño (Tumaco), Valle del Cauca, and Chocó. The increase in threats and assassinations has led to increased tensions in these areas, in particular in Cauca. For example, the APS grantee organization, Fundación Triunfemos, has had to reschedule characterization exercises with its participants in rural areas as a result of the security situation.
To address this situation, the Government has reactivated the National Commission of Security Guarantees, and has intensified the work of the Special Investigation Unit of the National Prosecutor and the Elite Policy Body, improved the National Ombudsman Early Alert System and established special protection measures from the National Protection Unit for former FARC combatants. Nonetheless, these several of the most recent leaders assassinated had protection measures when they were killed.
Deteriorating security situation In addition to targeted assassinations and threats against human rights defenders, the security situation in these areas is also serious for the general population. Reports of selective and extrajudicial killings, displacement, confinements, food blockages, threats, and injuries from land mines are common in Nariño, Chocó, and Antioquia, where different illegal armed actors have sought to take control of the power vacuum left by the demobilized FARC. The disintegration of public order and safety has begun to effect the implementation and success of IPA sub-activities, in particular in Nariño, Cauca, and Chocó.
▪ In Tumaco, illegal armed actors, including groups formed by FARC dissidents and other illegal armed groups are currently fighting for territorial control, which causes restrictions on mobility and invisible borders. Additionally, in Barbacoas, similar disputes between paramilitary groups and other illegal armed groups also restrict mobility in certain regions. As a result, IPA has had to restrict its presence in certain areas and request assistance and accompaniment from local leaders and police in order to carry out its activities. ▪ In the municipalities of Guapi and Timbiquí (Cauca), IPA was forced to suspend its IRACA activities for several days, as a result of threats from illegal armed groups against IRACA and IOM. Similarly, in Puerto Tejada, IPA has faced difficulties carrying out follow-up visits to participants in the Mi Negocio project, as a result of gang conflicts that create indivisible barriers. In order to complete the process, IPA requested the

accompaniment of local law enforcement, community leaders, and members of the local government. ▪ The urban area of Quibdó (Chocó) is facing increased violence, including homicides and robbery. IPA has had to take similar measures as in Cauca in order to complete its activities within the Mi Negocio initiative. Additionally, in the rural areas of Quibdó and Bojayá, the presence of a new ELN commander has worsened the situation of public order. As a result, another APS grantee organization, Cocomacia, has had to adopt protective measures and strengthen the ability of its communities to resist these threats. ▪ Confrontations between illegal armed groups in Valle del Cauca, in the rural areas of the Buenaventura municipality, led to forced displacement of the rural population to the urban center during May. Additionally, confrontations between these groups along the Naya River have caused delays in the execution of IRACA in indigenous communities in Joaquincito as well as black communities located along the river.
Instability in local governments As in earlier quarters, the removal of local government officials has continued cause complications for IPA, which relies on relationships with local and departmental governments and institutions for many of its sub-activities. For example, in the Riohacha municipality of La Guajira, the former mayor returned to his position and made changes in his cabinet. As a result, the former acting administration’s policies and actions have been ended. Additionally, the National Government continues to exercise control over the sectors of water, health, and education in Riohacha, Uribia, and the Department of La Guajira, which considerably affects local processes. In Cartagena, several members of the municipal State Council have been suspended, causing instability at the institutional level. Similarly, since April, Buenaventura is facing a governability crisis as a result of the capture of the mayor and several cabinet members for corruption. The constant change in government personnel disrupts the relationships IPA has developed in order to implement sub- activities at the local level. For example, initiatives to improve ethnic students’ results on the Pruebas Saber exams require close coordination with secretaries of education, and the lack of local control over education in La Guajira as well as the instability in Buenaventura affect the ability of IPA to maintain that coordination.
Elections Presidential elections were held in May, and a second round in June. The current president-elect, Ivan Duque, is closely aligned with the former president Alvaro Uribe. Duque will be sworn in on August 7, 2018. Given that IPA works with a number of national government institutions and ministries, including the Ministry of Environment, Culture, and Education, the continuity of IPA sub-activities and agreements with these ministries will depend on the decisions of the incoming administration. On the one hand, this offers IPA the opportunity to position its initiatives within the new administration and increase their visibility and impact. On the other hand, it is likely that the new administration will have different priorities and policies than the current administration, which will reduce or transform relevant activities. Additionally, as a result of outgoing staff, sub- activities that involve government programs will likely face delays while new officials are installed. For example, the director of the Manos a la Escuela program left his position on June 30, leaving the future of the program uncertain under the new administration.
IPA’s Contribution to Peace Building IPA contributes to peace building in post-conflict Colombia in three principal ways: (1) working for the implementation of the Peace Agreements with state and non-state actors; (2) ensuring the inclusion of vulnerable ethnic populations in the implementation of the peace process, and (3)
11 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) addressing some of the structural drivers of the conflict. First, IPA is implementing a number of initiatives that promote the implementation of specific components of the Peace Agreements. For example, IPA is working with the MEN to implement several components of development plans with a territorial approach (PDET) related to education at the municipal level. PDETs are sub-regional implementation programs that form part of Peace Agreements, and seeks to implement Comprehensive Rural Reform more rapidly in prioritized municipalities that have been most affected by the armed conflict, poverty, illicit economies, and weak institutions. The PDET are participatory spaces, designed to empower local communities, strengthen local institutions, and convert rural territories into spaces for reconciliation and harmony. The MEN is implementing the Manos a la Escuela program in 590 rural schools located in municipalities prioritized by PDETs. This intervention model provides investment in rural education through improving educational infrastructure with social accompaniment to impact more than 10,000 people with peacebuilding strategies, rebuilding social fabric as a mechanism to empower communities to transform their realities and promote lasting peace.
Second, IPA has implemented various sub-activities that seek to ensure the inclusion of ethnic minority groups in the implementation of the peace process. For example, the support provided to the Ethnic Commission, ONIC, the Indigenous Guard, Afrodes, and other ethnic organizations specifically seek to facilitate these organizations’ work advocate for the implementation of the Peace Agreements and generate public support for the government to fulfill its commitments in the Peace Agreements. The APS grant to the Cocomacia organization allows this organization to update norms and regulations applicable to 40 black communities, in order to appropriate relevant aspects of the Peace Agreements at the community level. Additionally, the online and in person courses regarding intra and interethnic conflict resolution is designed to create the conditions necessary for local leaders to dialogue with government actors in order to implement components of the Peace Agreements at the local level.
Third, the structural drivers of the conflict that IPA sub-activities seek to address include the following: (1) the lack of channels and participation spaces in political processes and to engage with the government for vast swaths of the population; (2) severe inequality with respect to income and access to infrastructure and public services, in particular between rural and urban areas; (3) a lack of economic opportunities, in particular for young people and those in rural areas, which leads vulnerable people to either join guerrilla groups or participate in illegal economic activities; (4) the exclusion of marginalized populations, in particular ethnic minorities and the rural population; and (5) weak institutions and state presence in remote, rural areas.
3. ACTIVITY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRESS
Principal Progress by Result Area

Completion of Phase I of strengthening the Racial Discrimination Observatory During this quarter, IPA completed the first phase of its strategy to strengthen the Racial
12 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017)
Discrimination Observatory (ODR) of the Ministry of the Interior (MIN), in order for this institution to become a reference point on issues regarding racial discrimination. Thus, building on the progress made over the past year, during FY2018 Q3, the MIN adopted and began implementing the institutional improvement plan developed together with IPA. The MIN now has an eight-person team of professionals dedicated to the ODR, provided for by the Directorate of Black Communities. The CNC developed a tool of statistical monitoring of racial discrimination practices in Colombia, and provided the ODR team with two days of training on how to use the tool. Based on the results of this monitoring tool, the ORD published its first report on racial discrimination in Colombia, the cover of which is included in Annex 3.
Sexual Violence and GBV with an Ethnic Approach IPA continued its work with the Superior Council of the Judiciary and the Ombudsman to strengthen these institutions’ understanding of and response to GBV within ethnic communities. Thus, during this quarter, IPA completed a conceptual document regarding sexual violence and other forms of GBV within ethnic groups as well as methodology for intercultural intervention to address these violences within indigenous communities. The document also contains recommendations for improving indigenous women’s access to justice within the framework of inter-jurisdictional coordination. During the upcoming quarter, IPA will socialize and transfer these materials to the Superior Council of the Judiciary. Additionally, in the initiative to strengthen the gender team of the Ombudsman, IPA completed the process of identifying GBV in indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities, which it summarized in the diagnosis document “Dimensions of violence against Afro-Colombian and indigenous women in the municipalities of Timquiquí (Cauca), San Juan del César, Riohacha (La Guajira), and Soacha (Cundinamarca)”. This analysis is the result of nine focus groups in which 120 Afro-Colombian and indigenous women from aforementioned municipalities participated.
The first cohort completes the Online Course on Inter and Intra Cultural Conflict Management Building a lasting peace in IPA territories, in particular the Pacific Coast, requires improving the capacity for intercultural social dialogue among both government officials and community leaders. Thus, in order to consolidate a shared interethnic and intercultural vision and facilitate dialogue in the region, IPA designed and implemented two courses on inter and intra cultural conflict management, one directed at local and regional Ombudsman officials, and one aimed at community leaders. During this quarter, 28 public officials completed the online course in management of inter and intra cultural conflict, developed in collaboration with the Javeriana University of Cali. Additionally, 60 community leaders from Norte del Cauca, Buenaventura, and Tumaco have completed three of the four sessions of the in-person course on intercultural conflict management and peacebuilding. Course participants will complete the remaining session during the upcoming quarter.
First cohort of students in Citizen Oversight Mechanisms in Buenaventura, Guapi, Tumaco, Quibdó graduate The course began in February in four targeted municipalities (Buenaventura, Tumaco, Guapi, and Quibdó) with 175 local leaders.6 It was developed in response to the Buenaventura and Quibdó Civic Strikes held during 2017 to protest government inattention to Buenaventura and the Pacific Region more generally, rampant human rights violations, poverty, and other issues facing the area. As a result of the strikes, the GoC made a series of commitments to address these issues, and the strike organizers then turned their attention to holding the government accountable for fulfilling
6 The geographic distribution of participants is the following: Buenaventura 70, Tumaco 35, Guapi 35, and Quibdó 35.
13 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) these commitments. In Colombia, citizen oversight groups are democratic mechanisms of representation that allow individuals and community organizations to monitor government administration with respect to administrative, political, judicial, legislative, and other authorities. While these groups may undertake a variety of monitoring activities, those most relevant to government commitments to Buenaventura and other Pacific municipalities include studying the progress in implementation of plans, programs, and contracts, as well as the prompt execution of budgets to attend to unmet basic needs, monitor hiring practices, request information from those executing projects, and inform the citizenry of their findings, among others. In order to strengthen this democratic mechanism and ensure its efficacy, IPA designed a course for community leaders who participated in the civic strikes, to improve their theoretical understanding and practical application of citizen oversight groups. The course has a high retention rate, which demonstrates the relevance and usefulness of this course. During the following quarter, 170 course participants will graduate and begin to put their newly acquired knowledge to work in their communities.
Result 1.2: Increased Afro-Colombian and indigenous civil society capacity to advocate for their needs and constructively engage with the GoC
ICOE application to ethnic organizations continues An important IPA strategy to strengthen ethnic civil society organizations is the use of the Ethnic Organization Capacity Index (ICOE) to measure the strengths and weaknesses of local, regional, and national level ethnic organizations, and design and apply customized improvement plans to each organization. During this quarter, IPA continued this strategy, applying the ICOE an additional eight organizations within the framework of R1.7 Additionally, within the framework of IRACA (described in detail in Result Area 2), IPA applied the ICOE to 20 ethnic institutions in Bojayá, Buenaventura, Guapi, Timbiquí, Ricaurte, and Tumaco. During upcoming quarters, IPA will use the results of these analyses to develop improvement plans to increase the organizational capacity of these organizations.
Caribe Afirmativo commemorates LGBT and Afro-Colombian pride Corporación Caribe Afirmativo and Colombia Diversa have continued to implement a joint initiative for the inclusion of LGBT people in indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities in Cartagena, Riohacha, Uribia, Tumaco, Buenaventura and Quibdó. This initiative will create an Observatory of economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR) of LGBT individuals, and support the publication of the Observatory’s first report based on research in the aforementioned cities. This report will be used to identify elements for public policies to address the needs of LGBT individuals in majority black and indigenous areas. During this quarter, both organizations have made progress in their field research, and will publish the report during the upcoming quarter. Additionally, during this quarter, Caribe Afirmativo successfully launched the “Proudly Afro LGBT,” in order to celebrate the month of LGBT pride and the Month of Afro-Colombians. Additionally, Caribe Afirmativo held the first Inter-Ethnic LGBT Conference, which was a valuable space to discuss the realities of indigenous and Afro-Colombian LGBT individuals, and the intersectionality of the gender, sexual orientation, and racial discriminations they face.
7 These organizations include Cocomopoca, Asorewa, and the Chocó Department Network of Women in Chocó; La Tonga, Redmunorca, and ACONC in Cauca; the Community Council of the Islas del Rosario in Bolívar; and Wiwa Yugumaiun Bunkuanarrua Tayrona (OWYBT) in La Guajira.

Grantee organizations begin implementing APS projects Six organizations began implementation of APS grants with support from the organizational strengthening area of IPA. The Senior Community Council of the Integral Campesina Association of Atrato (Cocomacia) is an umbrella organization of 40 black community councils that regulate and administer an area of 695,245 hectares of collective land that is home to 120 black communities. Black community councils are responsible for territorial and natural resource administration, which they exercise through the application of internal regulations. As a result of the Peace Agreements between the GoC and the FARC-EP and the new Police Code, these community councils must review their internal regulations and update them to reflect the new political, social, and legal situation, which is the objective of this grant. During FY2018 Q3, Cocomacia has made progress developing general guidelines for adjusting the internal regulations of the community councils that make up this organization.
Second, the Circus for All Foundation selected 18 young men and 6 young women from Puerto Tejada neighborhoods afflicted by gang violence, as well as from rural areas with few economic and social opportunities for youth, and began their training process in circus skills and future multipliers, teaching their skills to more youth. Puerto Tejada is a municipality located in the north of the Cauca department, and is one of the areas that has been most battered by the armed conflict. Although the Peace Agreements mean this municipality is a strategic area for peacebuilding, other phenomena such as criminal gangs, drug trafficking, crime, and GBV threaten to destabilize this process. The Circus for All initiative seeks to combat these negative aspects of life in Puerto Tejada, through developing alternative life paths that prevent participants from falling into marginalization and delinquency. The initiative also seeks to promote solidarity among youth and harmonious relationships between the community and youth. During the upcoming quarters, once the original 20 multipliers have completed their training, they will in turn train an additional 100 children and youth in basic circus skills, development of cognitive abilities, and creativity and
15 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) imagination. Additionally, outstanding participants will have the opportunity to audition to enter the National Circus School. The Puerto Tejada community has been supportive of this activity. For example, the city government has offered spaces for the organization to hold its activities, and local organizations have specifically spoken in favor of the initiative.
Third, the Inter-ethnic Network of Chocó Midwives began implementing its initiative to improve the health and human rights of Emberá Katío indigenous women from 21 resguardos in Bagadó. Emberá Katío indigenous women face frequent physical, psychological, and sexual violence, including genital mutilation, which is normalized in the community. Midwives in the Emberá community play an important role in the physical and emotional care of women throughout their lives. Thus, this initiative seeks to work with 20 Emberá Katío midwives to promote social mobilization and protection of Emberá women’s rights. The Network will work with these midwives over the course of a year, training them in GBV and women’s rights, and will culminate in a participatory plan for women and girls’ rights in the Bagadó Emberá Katío community. During this quarter, the Network completed a diagnosis of the situation of Emberá Katío women’ and girls’ health and access to rights in Bagadó.
Fourth, the Arco Iris Foundation developed a diagnosis of risk factors for the LGBT population in Tumaco, which will serve as input for developing a self-protection strategy. In addition to developing this strategy, this initiative will also characterize the contribution of Afro-descendant LGBT individuals to society and develop a communication strategy to disseminate the results of this characterization to the wider society, thus contributing to change negative stereotypes regarding LGBT people with more positive conceptions.
Fifth, the Indigenous resguardo Eperara Siapidara Joaquincito Río Naya is implementing a grant to empower Eperara Siapidara indigenous women as leaders for community participation and peace building based on their ancestral knowledge. Traditionally, women have been marginalized from organizational and social decision-making spaces, as well as productive or economic development policies, and instead have been relegated to a position of submission toward men.
16 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017)
However, as a result of the effects of the armed conflict on the community, women’s role as caretakers, maintaining the home, and retaining ancestral knowledge grew. As men return to the community as the conflict ends, these new roles of women are threatened. Thus, this grant seeks to provide women with leadership tools to allow them to participate equally with men in their communities. The initiative will include 15 training workshops on leadership, communication, self- esteem, teamwork, and civic and local participation. Additionally, it will include three workshops on how to address indigenous women’s limited access to economic, social, and cultural rights. It will also include two workshops with men from the community to reflect on women’s leadership and their role in the community. Based on this experience, the initiative will publish a manual for women’s leadership training. During this quarter, the resguardo began holding training sessions to strengthen women’s traditional knowledge, community discussions regarding women’s leadership, and workshops regarding indigenous women’s traditional roles in the community and family.
Sixth, the Women’s Association of Norte del Cauca began implementing its activities to build women’s capacity to participate in politics, improve the level of trust in women’s performance in positions of power in Bagadó. This initiative includes three components: (1) strengthening of women’s leadership, social and political participation; (2) eradication of social and institutional acceptance of GBV, and transformation of toxic conceptions of masculinity through sensitization and advocacy strategies; (3) psychosocial accompaniment of women victims to improve their mental health and resilience through self-care. During this quarter, the Women’s Association created a document that will serve as input for the construction of municipal peace agendas.
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.
Ethnic communities participate in the regulation of Law 70 and demarcation of páramos During this quarter, IPA continued to work with the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development (MinAmbiente) to implement two important environmental norms in ethnic groups’ territory through the creation of spaces for dialogue with ethnic communities. These norms will strengthen environmental management with a participatory approach in territories with Afro- Colombian and indigenous people, based on the principles of autonomy and self-governance. The first norm, the 2014-2018 National Development Plan, requires the government to demarcate a number of fragile, high altitude wetland ecosystems (páramos) in order to implement mechanisms for environmental protection. However, ethnic communities live within seven of these páramos, and thus must participate in the demarcation process. The second norm refers to a chapter of the Law 70, which refers to the participation of black communities in the environmental management and protection of fragile ecosystems.
With respect to the 2014-2018 National Development Plan, IPA continued to support the creation of spaces for dialogue and the socialization of article 173 of Law 1753 of 2015 with indigenous resguardos and black community councils located within seven páramos. During, previous quarters, IPA implemented spaces of dialogue to ensure community participation in the MEN’s delimitation of these seven ecosystems. During FY2018 Q3, IPA held socialization spaces with an additional eight indigenous resguardos and five black community councils. The demarcation process is important to ethnic groups that live in these areas because páramos are subject to special environmental protection regulations (agricultural activities and the exploitation of non- renewable natural resources are prohibited), which will impact the types of activities that can be
17 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) undertaken. Páramos have long served as refuges for indigenous groups, and, to a lesser extent, black communities. As a result of the demarcation process and new regulations for páramos and collective territories for ethnic communities, ethnic groups within these areas will be officially recognized as important actors in the conservation of delicate ecosystems. The government recently issued a decree legalizing the demarcation of four of the seven páramos included in the agreement between MEN and IOM.
With respect to the second law, IPA completed a series of meetings with community councils and grassroots organizations from black communities throughout the country to socialize Chapter 4 of Law 70 of 1993 in preparation for the regulation of this chapter. Law 70 recognizes black communities that have traditionally lived certain areas of the Pacific and their right to collective land ownership, the protection of their cultural identity and the promotion of their social and economic development to ensure that black communities enjoy substantive equality with respect to the rest of Colombian society. Chapter 4 addresses traditional and ancestral land uses and the protection of natural resources and the environment. It guarantees the right to make use of natural resources for subsistence and provides that collective property rights must be in conformity with the social and ecological function of the land. It also stipulates that black communities will participate in developing and implementing plans to protect ecologically fragile and protected areas. Based on the community council representatives’ feedback, during FY2018 Q3, IPA created a proposal for the regulation of Chapter 4 of Law 70.
Public Policies for Indigenous and Afro-Colombian people in Medellin Earlier this year, IPA and the City Government of Medellin signed an agreement to include ethnic communities in Medellin into the city’s development strategies, recognizing the city’s ethnic and cultural diversity. IPA will achieve these goals through three specific objectives: (1) the creation and adoption of two public policies to improve the government’s differential attention to black and indigenous people in the city; (2) improving the city’s current public policies and programs to include and respond to the specific needs of the indigenous and Afro-Colombian population; and (3) undertaking actions to recognize and highlight ethnic diversity to promote inclusion and prevent discrimination in the city. This quarter, IPA continued the implementation of this agreement, based on the progress made during the previous quarter. First, IPA completed its participatory diagnosis of the level of implementation of different rights of both the indigenous and Afro-Colombian populations in the city. Additionally, IPA completed the design of methodologies for the formulation of the indigenous public policy, based on consultations with more than 300 indigenous people from the Medellin area.
Result 1.4: Improved “Pruebas Saber” results
Second Phase of Student Leveling During this quarter, IPA undertook a diagnosis of the targeted schools that will participate in the second phase of student leveling to improve their results on the Pruebas Saber exams. This diagnosis is based on coordination and dialogue with individual schools and municipal Secretaries of Education, and allows IPA to obtain information necessary to adequately tailor future interventions, including information regarding school organization, student enrollment, and technology infrastructure.
449 students in 6 municipalities begin tutoring and leveling activities IPA continued to make progress implementing several initiatives to improve student’s competencies in languages, mathematics, and civics. These initiatives include tutoring or leveling activities to improve students’ competencies and knowledge on these subjects, as well as training

Bagadó 21 Ricaurte 68 230 teachers from six municipalities improve their Total: 449 teaching skills In order to create more structural, lasting change in high schools with majority black and indigenous students, IPA is also implementing a strategy to improve the capacity of Teachers participating in training teachers at schools in six targeted municipalities. During this activities by municipality quarter, 230 teachers from Bagadó, Barbacoas, Municipality No. Teachers Buenaventura, San Juan del Cesar, Tumaco, and Quibdó Barbacoas 17 participated in training activities. With the APS grant to Buenaventura 55 Fundación Chocovida, 21 teachers from indigenous and Tumaco 54 Afro-Colombian schools in Bagadó began a course in Quibdó 71 didactic classroom education and evaluation strategies with Bagadó 21 the Claretiana University. Additionally, as part of the Todos San Juan del 12 a Aprender strategy, 29 teachers from ethnic educational Cesar institutes in Barbacoas and San Juan del Cesar who teach Total: 230 843 majority black students (Barbacoas) and 105 Wiwa indigenous students (San Juan del Cesar) began training to improve their competencies as teachers, as well as regarding ethnic learning models and guidelines for teaching ethnic students. 180 teachers from Buenaventura (55), Tumaco (54), and Quibdó (71) formed part of the second cohort of teacher training within the Education for Peace in the Colombian Pacific strategy. Finally, as part of the Alianza Educación Superior Rural initiative, an additional 115 teachers from Tumaco, Ricaurte, and Barbacoas registered to begin training activities in teaching skills for natural and exact sciences during the upcoming quarter.
100 social and infrastructure diagnoses carried out in Manos a la Escuela initiative Manos a la Escuela is an initiative of the Ministry of Education (MEN) to promote peacebuilding in PDET municipalities through education. The initiative seeks to improve the coverage and quality of education in rural areas through a two-part strategy: (1) improving the physical infrastructure of targeted schools (MEN) and (2) identifying and implementing social projects to strengthen the social fabric of communities and their trust in institutions (IOM). The social component seeks to promote community participation and strengthen social fabric based on a diagnosis of the area influence of the relevant rural school, including a
19 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) social and cultural characterization of different demographic, economic, political, administrative, cultural, and psychosocial dimensions.
During this quarter, IPA undertook the aforementioned social and infrastructure diagnoses of 100 rural schools, which represents 71 percent of the characterization phase. 1,455 members of the educational community (children, teens, directors, teachers, parents) participated in these diagnoses, and provided necessary information for the social and cultural characterization of schools and their areas of influence of 71 targeted PDET municipalities. Based on these diagnoses, IPA and participating educational communities will develop social project proposals that contribute to recovering the social fabric and trust in institutions and the construction of conditions necessary for peace. Throughout this process IPA will accompany participating communities to provide clear, accurate and timely information in order to build spaces of trust, participation, and strengthen the sense of belonging in the educational community.
Beneficiaries of the Higher Education Fund begin their studies Of the 138 students selected to receive financial assistance for higher education during the first academic semester of 2018, 117 students began their studies during this semester. An additional 17 will begin or continue their studies starting in the second academic semester of 2018. Additionally, IPA has worked with the National University of Colombia to obtain places for three students from Barbacoas and Ricaurte in the Special Admissions and Academic Mobility Program (PEAM), which is a program with special admissions requirements for high school graduates from peripheral areas of the country (the Amazonía, Caribe, Orinquia, and Tumaco) to study in the regional branches of the National University.

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
The second cohort of participants initiate Empleo para la Prosperidad program Empleo para la Prosperidad is a Prosperidad Social program that seeks to contribute to poverty reduction among Afro-Colombians and indigenous people in Cartagena, Buenaventura, Cali, Santander de Quilichao, Bogotá, Medellín, and Soacha with income generation strategies. Based on the prior identification of promising economic sectors for employment, participants receive training in order to strengthen their skills in those areas. Later, through alliances with the private sector, IPA facilitates the placement of program participants into formal employment. 2,641 individuals began training processes in skills including using and repairing heavy machinery, welding, administrative assistance, industrial mechanics, kitchen assistance, baking, and logistics and marketing, among other areas. Additionally, IPA continued to work with private sector businesses to facilitate the employment of 463 participants who had graduated during FY2018 Q1.
1,136 youth begin formation process with Empleabilidad y Emprendimiento Digital Empleabilidad y Emprendimiento Digital is a collaborative initiative with Fundación Telefónica, Citi Foundation, and IOM, which seeks to increase employment opportunities for youth (ages 17-26) in Medellín, Cali, Buenaventura, Tumaco, Barranquilla and Pasto who are at risk of participating in new forms of urban violence and/or are ethnic minorities. The initiative involves three components: (1) psychosocial accompaniment to develop soft skills, (2) articulation with the private sector, and (3) youth employment training.
With respect to the psychosocial accompaniment component, IPA began to develop a characterization document for each of the six targeted cities, regarding the interests, capacities and abilities of participating youth. 1,596 (1,064 in IPA targeted municipalities) began 30 hours of training in soft skills and entrepreneurship in April. As of June 30, 1,014 youth (694 IPA) continued to actively participate in this training process. With respect to articulation with the private sector, IPA completed its research regarding the digital business sector in the six target cities, including a needs diagnosis tool to determine what businesses are looking for in employees. IPA applied this tool to 543 companies, the majority of which are involved in technology, commerce, services, agro-industry, transport, and industry, and will publish the results of its findings during the upcoming quarter. These companies receive monthly newsletters updating them on the process of the project. Finally, with respect to the training component of this initiative, IPA began articulation with the National Learning Service (SENA), which will provide 120 hours of training in information and communications technology to 720 participating youth (489 IPA), beginning in August.
Result 2.2: Inclusive business initiatives developed among urban and rural Afro-Colombian and indigenous communities affected by conflict and private sector companies
IRACA implementation underway During FY 2018 Q3, OIM and Prosperidad Social continued implementing IRACA. This program is a comprehensive strategy designed to meet the needs of indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities in poverty through food security, community strengthening, and productive projects that give them alternatives to overcome poverty while maintaining and strengthening their
21 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) traditions and culture. IRACA will benefit 9,500 families in 22 municipalities over the course of 18- 20 months.8
These productive projects are formulated, and implemented using participatory methods and ensuring a differential approach customized to each population. The program is designed to ensure that community members are active participants in defining and implementing their own development. IRACA promotes community productive projects that invigorate local economies, as well as production of and access to food for consumption through communities’ specific, traditional forms of production and exchange.
Participating households and communities belong to indigenous and Afro-Colombian collective territories at risk of physical and/or cultural extinction as a result of the armed conflict, poverty, and discrimination, among other factors. IRACA, together with ethnic authorities, selects program participants in a process that prioritizes female-headed households, households with young people, and individuals with disabilities.
During FY 2018 Q3, IPA made significant progress in six areas of the IRACA program: (1) completing the socialization and coordination process; (2) community socialization and household affiliation; (3) definition of development vision; (4) organizational and social strengthening; (5) community diagnosis; and (6) food security.
First, IPA completed socializing IRACA and coordinating with authorities in 28 black community councils (16 in IPA territories) and 48 indigenous resguardos (28 in IPA territory), from 22 municipalities in 9 departments (See Annex 4 for the geographical distribution of IRACA). Second, IPA has completed 95 percent of the community socialization process and the affiliation of participating households, which is equivalent to 9,072 households. Third, because IRACA is designed to respond to the specific culture, needs, and development aspirations of each ethnic community, IRACA has undertaken collective reflection processes with 77 communities (39 in IPA territories) and their representatives and leaders in order to define their vision of development, which serve as important guidelines for community diagnoses, social and community strengthening, food security, and productive projects. Fourth, in order to strengthen community organizations in IRACA territories, IPA applied the ICOE to 20 ethnic institutions in Bojayá, Buenaventura, Guapi, Timbiquí, Ricaurte, and Tumaco, which together represent 3,418 households. During the upcoming quarter, IPA will apply the ICOE to an additional 55 organizations. Additionally, IPA began developing social and community project proposals regarding social and organizational strengthening. Currently projects to benefit 2,939 households (1,175 in IPA territories) have been proposed. Fifth, IPA has completed 76 percent of community diagnoses in collaboration with participating households, community leaders, and traditional authorities. Lastly, during this quarter, IPA has approved 25 food security projects, which will benefit 1,619 households.
Initiative to strengthen the value chain of cacao production in Tumaco underway Cacao production is an important source of livelihood in Tumaco, which has approximately 9,000 cacao producers. However, production per hectare in Tumaco is less than half the national production rate. This is the result of a variety of factors, including inadequate management of plantations, a high presence of diseases, weak human resources, low implementation of technology (regarding rehabilitation, disease management, fertilization, drainage, etc.), and low business and commercial organizational capacity. In order to strengthen the value chain of cacao production in
8 5,400 IRACA participants are in IPA territories: Guapí and Timbiquí (Cauca), Bojayá (Chocó), Riohacha and Uribia (La Guajira), Ricuarte and Tumaco (Nariño), Buenaventura (Valle). Non-IPA territories include Putumayo, Urabá, César, Guainia, and Caldas.
22 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) several black community councils in Tumaco, this initiative seeks to increase the volume, quality, and sale of cacao production, which will improve the competitiveness of cacao from these communities, increase the income of producers, and make cacao production a more attractive activity, thus improving the living conditions and reducing dependence on illicit crops and activities.
During FY2018 Q3, IPA completed affiliating 800 participating families as well as conforming the technical team necessary for implementation. Additionally, after undertaking technical visits to each productive unit, the technical team began the process of rehabilitating cacao trees and agronomical management of crops and pruning practices. This process will include intervention in and rehabilitation of 250 trees on each productive unit. The team also began working with initiative participants and the Civil Defense to provide training in prevention and risk management. Additionally, thanks to cooperation with Ecopetrol, the project has been able to increase the number of trees rehabilitated, strengthen the technical assistance included in the initiative, and provide financial education to participants.
2,201 entrepreneurs in Mi Negocio initiative receive capitalization After completing their training courses and receiving approval for their small business plans during FY2017, during this quarter 2,201 participants from Mocoa, Puerto Tejada, Riohacha, San Juan del Cesar, Quibdó, and Cartagena in the Mi Negocio initiative received physical assets to launch their small businesses. Each asset is valued at around COP 2 million, and facilitates the creation of salons, small restaurants, and clothing stores, among other initiatives. This is equivalent to 99.8% of completed productive units. Additionally, IPA began its accompaniment process with participants.
Result Area 3: Increased awareness and respect for ethnic diversity
Result 3.1: Cultural heritage initiatives identified and supported
During FY2018 Q3, the heritage and cultural diversity area of IPA collaborated with the Grants Fund and grantee organizations to implement APS grant activities in Cauca and Nariño regarding issues of recognition, vindication of cultural traditions, and safeguarding cultural heritage as an important component of social cohesion.
Film and Television Training School Cultural and creative industry is growing in Colombia, and currently represents 3 percent of the country’s GDP. In addition to the economic contribution or this industry, it also brings together individuals, peoples, and cities, promoting mutual respect, tolerance, and recognition. Through shared cultural manifestations, different individuals and groups learn from one another and increase their appreciation for cultural diversity. Given the cultural diversity in the northern region of the Cauca department, as well as the weakened social fabric and cultural practices resulting from the armed conflict, Fundación Casa de la Cultura Digital is implementing a grant in order to strengthen the technical and operational capacity of production collectives from the municipalities of Santander de Quilichao, Puerto Tejada, and Caloto to create their own stories. By training young members of creative and communication collectives in film and television production, this initiative seeks to promote the creation of positive messages that tell the stories of the region and highlight the cultural and artistic expressions, identities, and worldviews of the ethnic communities.
Concretely, the Fundación will train participating youth regarding ethnic film and television, based on training workshops with a team of professionals, practical exercises of film production and spaces to share experiences. Additionally, training includes topics related to research,
23 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) development, production, and the circulation of film and television content. At the completion of the process, participating youth will produce short films (fiction and/or documentaries) that reflect the cultural heritage, historical memory, and idiosyncrasies of the northern Cauca region, and the dreams and realities of ethnic communities and youth from this area. After graduation, the youth who graduate from this training process will promote the creation of positive messages, the growth of audiovisual producers from the region, the dissemination of cultural heritage and diversity, and the development of cultural projects. During this quarter, the Fundación launched the training initiative with a socialization workshop, in which 20 individuals proposed different audiovisual ideas for potential projects.
Reviving our traditions and Cultural Heritage The inhabitants of the rural area of the Buenaventura municipality the Llanobajo Black Community Council represents are facing a loss of their ancestral knowledge and cultural heritage, due to the armed conflict, domestic violence, a lack of economic resources, and external factors that compel them to undertake activities other than ancestral practices. These elements that brought the community together and created opportunities to share spaces have considerably reduced. Thus, through this initiative, the Llanobajo Black Community Council seeks to strengthen these cultural practices and ancestral knowledge and pass them on to younger generations. During this quarter, the Community Council began socializing the initiative with youth, through a series of meetings between youth and wisemen and women to introduce them to topics related to cultural heritage and ancestral knowledge. During the upcoming quarters, the Community Council well begin to train youth on a variety of topics, including traditional medicine, folklore, oral traditions, handicrafts, traditional cuisine. Upon completion of these training processes, interested youth and other community members will form groups to continue to promote these traditional practices and disseminate them among younger generations.
Paz Arte Artistic expressions form an important part of the cultural identity of different groups, by creating spaces for expression and communication, and through their social and economic uses. Through understanding the cultural context of this art and its practice, indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities will develop greater ownership of their customs and traditions. Thus, through this initiative, Fundación Artística Cultural Harmony seeks to promote knowledge regarding and the use of artistic expressions of indigenous and black communities within the ten schools located in the municipality of Caloto, promoting respect and awareness of ethnic diversity among the 2,4983 students in the municipality (1,178 indigenous and 2,493 Afro-Colombian).
The first component of this initiative is to create a documentary compilation of indigenous and Afro-Colombian artistic expressions from participating communities, through participatory research that includes meetings with artists, art teachers, and other relevant professionals. These groups will select the most representative cultural manifestations in their communities, and based on these results, a group of professionals in music, education, drama, and fine arts will develop a pamphlet with information regarding these cultural manifestations and a series of educational activities based on these expressions. During upcoming quarters, the experts who designed these materials will train art teachers from each of the ten school in how to best implement these activities and provide ten didactic kits to implement the educational activities provided for in the pamphlets. During this quarter, Fundación Artística Cultural Harmony completed the socialization process with local authorities, teachers, and school directors.
Girls in Sports In Buenaventura, children and youth practice sports spontaneously, without sufficient control to
24 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) contribute to their education or development as individuals. Sports, recreational activities, and activities for youth to make positive use of their free time should form part of the public service in education and public spending. However, due to a lack of resources and weak institutions, such services are scarce in Buenaventura, in particular for girls. Thus, through this grant, the Federación de Empresas Solidarias y Sociales de Colombia (FESOC) seeks to contribute to the development of a sporting culture that facilitates the physical and mental development of children and youth, promotes healthy habits of free time, and offers possibilities to develop a life project or business related to sports. This initiative also seeks to overcome the lack of programs and resources to sufficiently train individuals in these sporting areas and provide necessary elements for safe and adequate play. To this end, this initiative began to train 25 young women to serve as referees, including workshops to develop life projects. It will also strengthen local soccer clubs, both through providing necessary physical elements and through organizational strengthening of strategic planning, projects, and administration. Thus, and additional 25 girls who began training in soccer clubs will not only receive technical training regarding the sport, but also undertake activities to create a sense of unity and mutual support to reach common goals.
Result 3.2: Awareness of indigenous and Afro-Colombian cultures and contributions promoted
Publication of communication public policies for indigenous peoples and Afro- Colombians
In order to socialize among ethnic communities and highlight the progress made in consolidating guidelines of communication public policies for ethnic communities regarding access use and appropriation of information and communication technologies and their inclusion within the communications public policy, IPA supported the publication of the guidelines for these public policies. Additionally, IPA provided 13 technology kits to 7 Afro-Colombian organizations in Quibdó and Chocó, 5 to national indigenous organizations that provide coverage to local indigenous collectives, and 1 to the National Commission of Permanent Indigenous Communications in Bogotá. These technology kits include tools including cameras, computers, microphones, radio consoles, etc., which are necessary for these organizations to effectively
25 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) undertake their communications work, and will serve to sustainably strengthen the internal communication dynamics of these collectives and their target audiences over the long-term.

Pájaros de verano IPA supported the premiere of the Pájaros de Verano movie, which recounts the story of a Wayuú indigenous family during the marijuana production and trafficking boom of the 1970s. This movie provides the opportunity to show the reality of Colombian indigenous groups to a national and international audience, as well as highlighting the cultural richness of the country and the contributions indigenous peoples have made, in particular the contributions of the Wayuú people to the La Guajira department. The premiere was held in Uribia, the capital of La Guajira, which is also known as the indigenous capital of Colombia, and was attended by around 2000 people from Uribia. This is particularly important as the movie was filmed in the Wayuunaiki language, which highlights not only the historical importance of the Wayuú people, but also puts their language on a national and international stage. Given the positive outcome of this premiere, IPA is considering supporting a second viewing in Riohacha during July, to allow more people from La Guajira, and in particular Wayuú people, to view the film.
Result Area 4: Provide humanitarian assistance to Afro-Colombian and indigenous people
4.1 Humanitarian assistance in La Guajira
Water, sanitation and hygiene During FY2018 Q3, IPA continued to focus on improving access to clean water and promoting better sanitation and hygiene practices among the indigenous Wayuú people in La Guajira. To this end, IPA provided 310 Wayuú families a 20 liter bucket for water storage and a water filter. IPA provided these elements to 98 families in Puerto Estrella and Nazareth, as well as to 212 families in Maicao and Manaure who participate in the Energias Limpias Project. In addition, in order to improve water storage in the seven communities participating in the Energias Limpias Project, community members received training regarding the adequate management of water storage systems, their care and maintenance, along with seven tool kits to undertake this management and maintenance. IPA also installed three tanks with a storage capacity of 5,000 liters in the Pesuapa community.
Food security and nutrition During this quarter, OIM, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Alpina Foundation began implementation of their agreement to implement the initiative “Illustrative Learning Center: Building Food Sovereignty with the Wayuú indigenous people as a tool for income generation in the boarding school in Nazareth, Uribia.” This initiative will allow 104 Wayuú families to improve their food sovereignty through growing food and selling surplus production. Additionally, it will improve the nutrition storage capacity of the
27 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017)
Nazareth indigenous boarding school, where 1,575 indigenous Wayuú students from the Uribia municipality of Alta Guajira live and study. During FY2018 Q3, IPA completed the process of identification, socialization, and characterization of the five communities (Montes de Oro, Anuwou, Kayushpanao, Anuwapa, and Yutou) and families that will benefit from this project, including an agricultural characterization, the definition of a productive line to recover ancestral knowledge as well as the commercial and agricultural knowledge necessary to ensure food security. IPA also formed an alliance with the National Learning Services (SENA) to train 80 student operators and 28 community operators to work on the project. These operators began their training process in strategies to develop productive and commercialization practices, entrepreneurship and business plans. SENA also provided technical assistance to the school and participating families’ livestock. Finally, IPA began planting corn, onion, cilantro, carrot, tomato, eggplant, lettuce, and pepper in the boarding school and participating communities.
4.2 Humanitarian assistance for the Jiw indigenous people in San José del Guaviare
The armed conflict has battered the indigenous Jiw communities from the Meta and Guaviare departments over the past decades. The most drastic impacts on the community are due to massive forced displacement, which led to the Constitutional Court of Colombia to recognize that the Jiw people are at risk of physical and cultural extinction in 2009 and 2012.
The most recent wave of forced displacement occurred between the years 2000 and 2009, during which time over 50 families were forcibly displaced from the resguardo Barranco Ceiba Laguna Araguato. As a result of this displacement, these families dispersed, leading to the dismantlement of clan unity and the progressive loss of traditional customs. Thus, the Jiw people are currently suffering from high levels of social degradation, domestic violence, consumption of illicit substances and alcoholism, petty crime, and interethnic conflict. In order to halt and reverse this situation, Jiw
28 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) communities have decided to return to their ancestral lands in the resguardo Barranco Ceiba Laguna. They attempted to return in 2016, but were unable to successfully reclaim their land due to the lack of institutional support from local and national authorities. However, due to their dire circumstances, 47 families decided to return to the resguardo in 2017 without state support, which has led to a humanitarian crisis among these families.
In order to alleviate the humanitarian crisis within the Jiw people and ensure the success of their return to their traditional lands, during this quarter IPA began coordinating a series of actions with other international cooperation bodies, including the German development agency GIZ, as well as Colombian government institutions, including the Victim’s Unit, the Department Government of Guaviare, SENA Guaviare, the San José Municipal Government, and municipal transitional justice committees. At the completion of FY2018 Q3, IPA had completed a needs identification of returned Jiw communities, collecting information about families (47 households) located in four sectors of the Barranco Ceiba resguardo. With the community, IPA also selected a location and began administrative and logistical procedures to build two temporary classrooms in the resguardo to ensure access to education of 60 Jiw children. In upcoming quarters, this support will include food security, productive initiatives, and material support for families to build rebuild their homes. Later stages of this intervention will include activities to provide access to potable water and improve educational infrastructure.
Grants Fund
At the conclusion of FY2018 Q3, four grants were completed, two were currently in the implementation phase, and 22 of the 23 approved APS grants were signed. More detailed information about the organizations and activities supported by the Grants Fund currently under implementation is included in the pertinent Result Area.
4. ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning
IPA has continued to make progress in its MEL area. Some of the most relevant developments from Q4 include the following:
▪ To strengthen the application of a differential approach in IPA’s work, the gender area of IPA undertook five training sessions with the IPA team in Bogotá, Buenaventura, and Tumaco in order to sensitize team members to gender issues in the workplace and in the implementation of IPA sub-activities. Together, IPA team members identified potential actions to implement a differential gender approach in sub-activities already underway. Additionally, in each of these training sessions, IPA team members learned about the gender approach check list that they should apply during the development and implementation of IPA sub-activities. ▪ IPA began collecting baseline data. IPA held focus groups in several municipalities with groups of people with similar demographic characteristics (indigenous women, persons with disabilities, etc.) to collect qualitative information regarding issues relevant to the program. The results seek to provide a deeper understanding of the needs, wants, expectations and realities of IPA participants, complementing the quantitative base line
29 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017)
data for better analyses. Focus group information also provides IPA decision makers and sub-activity managers with valuable information regarding the efficacy and pertinence of sub-activities. Annex 7 includes information regarding participants in these focus groups. ▪ IPA applied 400 surveys to IPA participants to gather quantitative baseline data. IPA’s inclusion and awareness and respect indexes will both be calculated thought the surveys. ▪ The M&E team participated in collective efforts to strengthen APS grantees at the initial implementation phase of their sub-activities. IPA held a series of workshops in the Pacific region, explaining M&E processes, formats and USAID data requirements. These visits also served to do on-site monitoring and have informal talks with sub-activity participants and regional OIM staff regarding sub-activity development and context. ▪ IPA’s information system development was completed. Addressing USAID’s recommendation to account for all direct Activity participants in IPA’s data bases, the beneficiary module was completed. Performance indicator modules were also completed and being tested at the quarter’s end.
Sustainability IPA’s approach to sustainability is exemplified by its strategy to improve Pruebas Saber exam results, which combines initiatives to obtain short-term results as well as strategies to ensure more long-term, structural changes to the educational offer in IPA-targeted municipalities. Thus, in order to make short-term gains in improving ethnic students’ scores, IPA has implemented a variety of sub-activities to improve 10th and 11th grade students competencies in core subjects included on this exam through online and in person tutoring. Additionally, to ensure that IPA’s investments have effects that are both more long term and impact more students, IPA also works with teachers, school directors, and other members of the educational community to improve their teaching skills and curriculum. IPA also coordinates with local secretaries of education in order to ensure local buy in, and continued support of its sub-activities after IPA’s completion.
Coordination with Other USAID Activities IPA seeks to collaborate and coordinate with other USAID activities in order to avoid duplication of efforts and improve the effectiveness of its initiatives. For example:
• Articulating with USAID’s Clean Energy Program to rehabilitate water systems and ensure access to potable water in indigenous Wayuú communities in Manaure and Maicao. • Coordinating with RPR to train at-risk youth in ICT and increase their opportunities for employment in the digital and technology sector. • The gender area of IPA participated in the May meeting of USAID program gender liaisons in Colombia, which was useful to discuss strategies and share knowledge. • The communications area of IPA is collaborating with the RPR and Victim Institutional Strengthening Program in the #Transformadoras digital media campaign to highlight the work of women leaders. It is also working with the Migratory Governance Program and the MEN to strengthen the communication strategy of the Manos a la Escuela initiative. • In Nariño, IPA has coordinated with the Pastoral Social program on Strengthening the Secretariado Nacional in order for the communal action councils with which Pastoral Social works also benefit from IPA activities carried out with communal action councils in Tumaco. For example, children within the neighborhoods where these councils work are selected to participate in activities regarding traditional dance and music. • IPA has coordinated with the Commercial Alliances program in order to ensure its work with small scale cacao producers in Tumaco meets Colombian legal norms and the
30 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017)
environmental management plan. • IPA participates in working groups in Nariño with USAID programs, including the Human Rights Program, Justice for Sustainable Peace, Commercial Alliances, and Regional Governability to develop shared advocacy strategies before regional institutions and strategies to promote the sustainability of USAID interventions in the department.

31 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017)
6. COMMUNICATIONS AND DISSEMINATION The communications area plays an important role in disseminating the work of IPA and its collaborators, as well as in implementing different strategies to create positive stories about ethnic minorities in Colombia and to combat negative stereotypes and prejudices against indigenous and Afro-Colombians prevalent in Colombian media and society. During FY2018 Q3, the communications area used its different platforms to draw attention to different activities, events, and online campaigns of ethnic group organizations. It also began disseminating a monthly newsletter among IPA’s beneficiary and other participating organizations and individuals with updates about the Activity and information about highlights from the previous month and regarding future events. The communications area also worked with the APS grantee organizations in Tumaco in order to support and strengthen these organizations’ communications strategies. As part of the agreement with the City Government of Medellin to develop public policies for ethnic populations, IPA’s communications area is also supporting the communications aspects of this initiative. IPA continues to improve its position in social and new media through the use of hashtags and templates that can be freely shared. Thus, IPA has positioned itself as leader among IOM Colombia, including growth of Instagram and Twitter followers. It has continued to have the most viewed content on both Facebook and Twitter. Several of the most popular posts on both social media platforms include posts that invite the public to participate in discussions regarding racial discrimination in Medellin, was well as posts highlighting events and organizations working on LGBT rights in ethnic communities, including the first inter-ethnic LGBT convention.
7. CONCLUSION: PRIORITIES AND NEXT STEPS
Challenges and Lessons Learned
A continuing challenge for the efficient execution of IPA sub-activities has been adapting IOM administrative processes and structures not only to the specificities of IPA initiatives, but also to processes with to ethnic organizations, authorities, and communities. An important component of IPA is strengthening grass roots ethnic organizations and ethnic authorities, which includes contracting this organizations and authorities directly. However, the realities of these grassroots organizations, particularly in peripheral areas of the country, make it difficult for them to comply with various administrative and financial requirements of IOM. In addition to working to strengthen the administrative and organizational capacity of these organizations, IPA is working to address this challenge by training IPA support staff in a differential ethnic approach and including its support staff in activities in the field, so that they may appreciate the realities of the individuals and communities with whom IPA works.
The issues of public order and threats and assassinations against community leaders and human rights defenders discussed in the context section above (Section 2) pose a series of challenges to the implementation of several IPA sub-activities. This situation has led APS grantee organizations to reschedule or relocate events and forced IPA to halt the implementation of certain sub- activities and to adopt a variety of security measures in order to carry out sub-activities.
The geographical reality, dispersion of communities, and lack of adequate infrastructure also pose challenges for the expeditious implementation of various sub-activities. For example, IRACA works with indigenous resguardos in far-flung areas that have limited communication and that are
32 INCLUSION FOR PEACE ACTIVITY - Quarterly Report #3 (Q4 FY 2017) difficult to physically access. Specifically, in La Guajira, there are no roads to many resguardos, and during the rainy season, it is difficult, dangerous, and sometimes impossible to reach these areas in vehicle. The provision of humanitarian assistance to the indigenous Jiw community also faces similar challenges related to the lack of infrastructure and difficult access. IPA has been able to overcome these obstacles, through increasing timetables for activities as well as transportation expenditures.
