We Effect-Reincorporation Colombia 2018-2022 We Effect-Reincorporation Colombia 2018-2022 - We Effect-Reincorporation Colombia-2018-2022 This is a project support for organizational and capacity development of ECOMUN and local cooperatives for demobilized FARC members, through the Swedish civil society organization We Effect.

The effort aims to contribute to the implementation of the peace agreement between the Government of Colombia and the FARC and thus to a lasting peace with human security, by improving the conditions for the socio-economic reincorporation of former guerrilla soldiers into society, focusing on socially and environmentally sustainable productive activities and gender integration.
ECOMUN is the organization proposed by the FARC in order to support and strengthen the local cooperatives formed by their ex-combatants. The project has been developed together with ECOMUN and We Effect provides resources and specialized advice for the formalization of the organization, as well as its possibilities to operate and develop into a leading organization for the collective reintegration process, in line with the ex-combatants' own needs and wishes. No transfer of funds takes place to ECOMUN or the local cooperatives. Detta är ett projektstöd för organisations- och kapacitetsutveckling av ECOMUN och lokala kooperativ för demobiliserade FARC-medlemmar, genom den svenska civilsamhällesorganisationen We Effect.

Insatsen ämnar att bidra till genomförandet av fredsavtalet mellan Colombias regering och FARC och därmed till en varaktig fred med mänsklig säkerhet, genom att förbättra förutsättningarna för den socioekonomiska återintegreringen av före detta gerillasoldater i samhället, med fokus på socialt och miljömässigt hållbar produktiv sysselsättning och jämställdhetsintegrering.
ECOMUN är den organisation som FARC föreslagit i syfte att stödja och stärka de lokala kooperativ som bildats av före detta soldater. Projektet har utvecklats tillsammans med ECOMUN och We Effect tillhandahåller resurser och specialiserad rådgivning för bildandet av organisationen, liksom dess möjligheter att verka och utvecklas till en ledande organisation för den kollektiva återintegreringsprocessen, i linje med de före detta soldaternas egna behov och önskemål. Ingen vidareförmedling av medel sker till ECOMUN eller de lokala kooperativen. The overall objective of the intervention is to contribute to peacebuilding in Colombia through the reintegration of FARC ex-combatants and their full exercise of citizenship and related rights in conditions of equality.

The intervention will contribute specifically to the establishment and development of ECOMUN, the cooperative organisation of ex-FARC combatants, as a vehicle for transformation and for the creation of conditions and mechanisms for effective reincorporation of ex-combatant men and women within the framework of a social, solidarity and environmentally sustainable economy.

Expected results by the end of the intervention are:

Result 1: ECOMUN is strengthened as a democratic cooperative organisation under the principles of the solidarity economy for the effective participation of ex-combatant women and men and the communities surrounding the reincorporation areas, within the framework of the peace agreements implementation.

Result 2: ECOMUNs grassroots, ex-combatant women and men and the communities surrounding the reincorporation areas have identified concrete initiatives for community reincorporation and collaboration in social and economic life at the local level.
