International Cooperation Strategy for Colombia's Post-Conflict

International Cooperation Strategy for

Colombia’s Post-Conflict

The International Community has proven deployment capabilities and knowledge of the Colombian territory, being a key ally to the National Government. Its political, technical and financial support acquires two dimensions in a post-conflict scenario: 1. Rule of law: interventions associated with state presence in areas of conflict to ensure the consolidation of institutions and of sustainable and lasting peace to ensure the effective enjoyment of constitutional rights. Instrumental during the first 12 to 18 months after the signature of the Agreements.

2. Sustainable Rural Development: medium and long term interventions designed to foster rural development and reduce environmental effects brought about by the armed conflict, including, but not limited to, conservation initiatives, protection and sustainable management of natural resources, as well as mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

The “Colombia in Peace” Financing Architecture Colombia in Peace (CP) is an umbrella initiative that organizes the international cooperation received by Colombia for the post-conflict, through an Executive Committee that oversees the co-financing of investments with national counterpart resources. It operates as an autonomous trust account, capable of receiving funds from a wide range of sources.

International Cooperation Strategy for Colombia’s Post-Conflict

“Colombia in Peace” Governance Scheme “Colombia in Peace” has a flexible governance structure, linked to the country's post-conflict institutions. It recognizes different stakeholders’ interests and regulations of donors and multilateral organizations. CP will have an autonomous nationally funded trust fund (Colombia in Peace Fund “CPF”).

Government representatives of the CP Fund’s Executive Committee will have a seat on the governing bodies of the various trust funds and international financing mechanisms that comprise the International Cooperation Strategy for Colombia’s Post-Conflict. The iteration of these actors in decision-making bodies ensures unity of purpose, coherence, consistency and homogeneity of a strategic vision and across interventions during the implementation of the Agreements.
