  • UNHCR Colombia Receives the Support of Private Donors And
    NOVEMBER 2020 COLOMBIA FACTSHEET For more than two decades, UNHCR has worked closely with national and local authorities and civil society in Colombia to mobilize protection and advance solutions for people who have been forcibly displaced. UNHCR’s initial focus on internal displacement has expanded in the last few years to include Venezuelans and Colombians coming from Venezuela. Within an interagency platform, UNHCR supports efforts by the Government of Colombia to manage large-scale mixed movements with a protection orientation in the current COVID-19 pandemic and is equally active in preventing statelessness. In Maicao, La Guajira department, UNHCR provides shelter to Venezuela refugees and migrants at the Integrated Assistance Centre ©UNHCR/N. Rosso. CONTEXT A peace agreement was signed by the Government of Colombia and the FARC-EP in 2016, signaling a potential end to Colombia’s 50-year armed conflict. Armed groups nevertheless remain active in parts of the country, committing violence and human rights violations. Communities are uprooted and, in the other extreme, confined or forced to comply with mobility restrictions. The National Registry of Victims (RUV in Spanish) registered 54,867 displacements in the first eleven months of 2020. Meanwhile, confinements in the departments of Norte de Santander, Chocó, Nariño, Arauca, Antioquia, Cauca and Valle del Cauca affected 61,450 people in 2020, as per UNHCR reports. The main protection risks generated by the persistent presence of armed groups and illicit economies include forced recruitment of children by armed groups and gender- based violence – the latter affecting in particular girls, women and LGBTI persons. Some 2,532 cases of GBV against Venezuelan women and girls were registered by the Ministry of Health between 1 January and September 2020, a 41.5% increase compared to the same period in 2019.

As a result, the United Nations Resident Coordinators in the three countries have come together with the support of OCHA and the participation of WFP, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA to develop an Action Plan to support Government responses to the urgent needs in the area. The plan is initially focused on mobilizing an emergency response to address the most immediate needs of those affected in the area. First level responses in the three countries have already commenced through reprogramed funding but additional resources are needed to scale up the response. The plan focuses on areas near the so-called Triple Border - between Colombia, Peru and Brazil - home to 208,699 people and where the majority of the population (57%) is indigenous.

Received: 3 September 2012; in revised form: 5 November 2012 / Accepted: 16 November 2012 / Published: 30 November 2012 Abstract: In the Amacayacu National Park in Colombia, which partially overlaps with Indigenous territories, several elements of an inclusive protected area management model have been implemented since the 1990s. In particular, a dialogue between scientific researchers, indigenous people and park staff has been promoted for the co-production of biological and cultural knowledge for decision-making. This paper, based on a four-year ethnographic study of the park, shows how knowledge products about different components of the socio-ecosystem neither were efficiently obtained nor were of much importance in park management activities. Rather, the knowledge pertinent to park staff in planning and management is the know-how required for the maintenance and mobilization of multi-scale social-ecological networks. We argue that the dominant models for protected area management—both top-down and inclusive models—underestimate the sociopolitical realm in which research is expected to take place, over-emphasize ecological knowledge as necessary for management and hold a too strong belief in decision-making as a rational, organized response to diagnosis of the PA, rather than acknowledging that thick complexity needs a different form of action.

  • Book Proposal the Putumayo
    Book Proposal The Putumayo: Colombia’s Forgotten Frontier Lesley Wylie The Putumayo River, which forms the border between Colombia and Peru and Colombia and Ecuador, is a major tributary of the Amazon, running some 1000 miles from the Colombian Andes to Brazil. Although geographically isolated, the river, and the region to which it gives its name, has been of great strategic and economic importance throughout Latin America’s postcolonial history. During the rubber boom the Putumayo witnessed mass-immigration of workers from around the world, including the Caribbean, North Africa, and Europe. At the same time many of its indigenous inhabitants fled from their ancestral homes into neighbouring regions to escape slavery. As a result, writing on and from the Putumayo is characterised by themes of exile and return: the journey is a recurring topos of literature on the region. Although canonical literary forms are well-represented in The Putumayo: Colombia’s Forgotten Frontier travel writing, testimony, diaries, journalism, and oral poetry dominate—in-between genres for in-between spaces, situated often on the borders of fact and fiction. There are many stories of conflict as well as of cultural fusion and hybridity. Although established as a region of Colombia since the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Putumayo remains physically and culturally estranged from Bogotá, a place of contraband and political radicalism and a site of linguistic and cultural heterogeneity with close ties to Amazonian centres in Peru and Brazil. Word count: c. 100,000 Series Preface Contents List of illustrations Introduction The introduction will give an outline of the location and characteristics of the Putumayo and the major trends of writing on and from the region.
