The overall objective of UN Multi Partner Trust Fund is to support the construction of peace in Colombia, contributing to the implementation of the Peace Agreement agreed between the Colombian Government and the former FARC-EP in 2016, as well as other actions related to peace building established by the National Government. 

The fund's theory of change considers the context and address the root causes of the conflict, particularly in remote rural areas of the country with a historical weak institutional presence and capacity. A third phase of the fund was approved by the Steering Committee in June 2023.

The theory of change of the third phase consists of five thematic areas, each with its own objectives:

1) Sustainable human development: to promote comprehensive rural reform, rural development and human security with the objective of closing historical gaps, reducing inequality and strengthening security.

Under this area, a sub-area is included that seeks to support the national Government in the implementation of the Comprehensive Action against Antipersonnel Mines (AICMA).

2) Reincorporation: to strengthen the reintegration route of the ex-combatants, under a sustainability approach and in this way promote their effective inclusion in social dynamics, political and economic aspects of civil life, encouraging coexistence, reconciliation and not stigmatization.

3) Victim's rights and transitional justice: to support initiatives in line with the system set up in the peace agreement on Justice, Truth, Reparation and no Repetition.

4) Communication: to constant follow-up of the fund with a permanent, efficient and transparent communication. 

5) Peace building beyond the 2016 Agreement: to support on-going and possible future peace negotiations as well as support initiatives to reduce violence, promote peace building, trust, and participation of communities and civil society.  

The specific objectives for each of these areas are explained in greater detail in the Terms of Reference and Manual of operations of the fund.
