Oxfam GB: Improvement of the living conditions through WATSAN solutions The five decades running armed conflict in Colombia continues to cause humanitarian needs with consequences in terms of access to basic rights in the remote geographic zones where SDC is present, namely access to safe water and sanitation, need of protection of the communities related to threats linked to natural calamities and/or to the conflict (i.e. internal displacements, recruitments of minors, etc). Rural communities in Choco, particularly indigenous and afros, are among the most affected, whose condition is made worse because of a general absence of state authorities (poor capacity and will), which result in a general poor access to basic services such water, sanitation and health.
