Towards fulfillment of the right to a healthy environment for children and young people This project will focus on providing opportunities for participation and training on environmental issues to children and teenagers from initially three poor neighbourhoods of Cartagena to enable the fulfilment of their right to a healthy environment and put fulfilment of this right into practice in their daily lives.

The Pastoral Action Team of the Archdiocese of Cartagena (SEPAS Cartagena) plan to work with a core group of 40 children and teenagers aged 8-19 years old from schools in these neighbourhoods, who come from high risk home situations.  These young people will also engage their peers and other community members.  The young environmental promoter group from the previous project (COL180) will play a role in training the new project participants, encouraging them to form a similar group for their own communities.  The project will carry out a participatory needs analysis of the issues in the communities at the beginning of the year and subsequent training will be adapted and tailored to this.

Some of the issues that the SEPAS Cartagena anticipate the young people will be able to address, with their support and training, are: improving the environment with the recovery of spaces currently used as dumping grounds, recycling, and better management of solid waste produced by people and animals.  The training on rights, including the right to a healthy environment will include how to hold local authorities to account and work with them to improve services.

One of the central concerns behind the SEPAS Cartagena’s work with children and teenagers in this new project is to prevent them getting involved in violence, through gangs, drugs, sexual exploitation and trafficking which are all real problems in the three target communities.

To address these issues, the project will provide individual and group psychotherapy and psycho-social support, including the drawing up of life plans with the children and teenagers mapping their dreams and what they want to do with their lives.  There will also be a component of awareness raising training about drugs, trafficking and child sexual exploitation.  The 40 children and teenagers that they will work with most closely, will act as protagonists and young leaders, receiving training and then replicating it in their schools (four schools), with the support of their teachers and the SEPAS Cartagena.
Response to support families in Chocó affected by floods, gales and  landslides CAFODs partners the Diocese of Choco and COCOMOPOCA are responding to the humanitarian emergency caused by the heavy rains that occurred on April 20, eleven municipalities in the department of Chocó were affected by floods, gales and / or landslides. Initial report estimated that at least 2,083 families would be affected in 8 municipalities. The flooding destroyed crops and livelihood, including in areas where CAFOD has a project with the AfroColombian communities of COCOMPOCA. COCOMOPOCA accounted for 2553 families in 36 AfroColombian communities affected.

Although there was an initial response from the Colombia’s government providing food and non-food items. There are concerns about the more mid to long term impact as the floods destroyed crops and the communities living next to the river have lost their livelihood.

The project aims to work with 200 families (about 800 people) in 15 communities (8 in the municipality of Lloro and 7 in the municipality of Atrato). It focus on those most affected in the AfroColombian communities living close to the Atrato River and depending on farming the land next to the river. The main component of the project is related to the buying and planting of seeds for manioc and plantain. An agricultural professional will be hired to advise the communities. (Traditionally they plant the crops next to the river, but that is not advisable due to the increased frequency of flooding related to climate change, so the technical advice would focus on this). A small component of the project will be looking at the Risk Management Plan of COCOMOPOCA developed with the support of the Lutheran World Federation in 2014 and discussing with these communities why it is not working, if they need to adapt it and how they can implement it effectively.
Developing livelihoods work in Colombia The project provides funding for CAFOD's strategic Colombia partner SNPS/Caritas Colombia to employ a livelihoods adviser to provide advice and support to livelihoods projects implemented by SNPS, primarily the small businesses in southern Colombia set up under the EU-funded AIPODE project and the businesses to be established under the Non-State Actors programme implemented by SNPS with the support of CAFOD.
Weaving peace This project seeks to contribute to a lasting peace in Colombia and to the implementation of the Peace Agreement in terms of: i. mitigation and/or resolution of armed conflicts; ii. reduction of violence through dialogue initiatives and peace processes; and iii. inclusive peace processes with women's participation in all phases and peace agreements aligned with international standards, including victims' rights and non-discrimination.
Support to indigenous communities confined by armed conflict in Choco Region The project addresses the immediate needs of three indigenous communities who due to the on-going armed conflict have been forced to flee their homes and are currently confined  (and can only be reached by boat) – without the possibility of moving from where they are  - and therefore need access to food and shelter.
This project will aim to:
a) support 81 families (93 men, 102 women, 160 boys and 104 girls) from the communities with food items. (2 deliveries of food items (1 per month) as well as 1 nutritional kit per family)
b) Improve the conditions in terms of infrastructure of an old school where they have sought refuge, due to displacement for the internal conflict (temporary shelter)
c) Provision of non-food items (cooking utensils, blankets, mattresses) 
d) Supporting efforts of peace dialogue of the Diocese of Quibdó with the armed actors (guerrillas groups & paramilitaries)
Strengthening of Grass-roots organisations CODACOP works with the Indigenous Guard (IG) of the Nasa communities in the north of the department of Cauca to develop leadership and planning skills. The Guard organises the community in case of attack, and deter aggression by non-violent resistance. They also work with Nasa women (through the ACIN) to develop their leadership and political role in community organisations and with the Laurita sisters in support of their work with indigenous communities in Urabá, Antioqueño and Sierra del Perijá. CODOCOP also focusses on linking up grassroots communities and communities seeking to be neutral in the civil conflict and networking.

HIV and AIDS prevention in the Magdalena Medio Since 1995, Corporación de Desarrollo y Paz del Magdalena Medio (CDPMM) has been working with state, international and private sector partners to implement strategies that seek to guarantee the exercise and fulfilment of human rights, including prevention of HIV and AIDS and gender based violence in Colombia.

CDPMM’s work in alliance with ECOPETROL and the Ministry of Education has been one of its most important project interventions in the region. It is currently based on the following elements; promoting the exercise of human rights in educational institutions from 31 municipalities of Magdalena Medio

In the current cycle (April 2015 - March 2018) CAFOD is supporting CDPMM's focus on educational institutes and local authorities that seeks to promote the exercise of human rights through the implementation of an obligatory student social service and the provision of support to local authorities in the prevention of HIV and AIDS.
Responding to mudslide in Corinto, Cauca Colombia ACIN (Asociación de Cabildos Indígenas del Norte del Cauca), the is the coordinating body for the Cabildos or authorities of 18 indigenous reserves/resguardos in Northern Cauca, Colombia. They are responding to mudslides which happened in November 2017 in Corinto. In the rural areas of the Paez Peoples territory in Corinto municipality the ACIN Health Programme is supporting the rebuilding of housing lost in the mud slide. The project will contribute with materials for the rebuilding in accordance with Indigenous practices and beliefs, while the community will be providing the workforce and logistic support. This project is going to directly support 60 Indigenous families in the rural area of Corinto (corrugated roof sheets for 60 families and sanitary facilities for 20 out of the 60 families).
Protection, guarantee and enforceability of rights: Peace and reconciliation from the territories This project is built based on the results and learnings generated in the project COL 223 and is seeking to contribute to peacebuilding and reconciliation in Colombia through the protection, enforceability and advocacy in favour of victims' rights with a focus on access to justice, non-violent transformation of conflicts and knowledge management in 18 Colombian departments, 65 municipalities and the city of Bogotá as Capital District. 
This will be achieved through three strategic objectives, including working with indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants and peasants farmers from rural communities, who are victims of violence, to defend and demand the right to territory, a healthy environment and a life free of violence, including gender-based violence, in an environment of legal, social and political guarantees free of threats and attacks for their work as human rights defenders in the territories; seeking to expand the guarantees for human rights defenders, social leaders, and/or the effective implementation of agreements and peace processes through comprehensive strategies for dialogue, negotiation and mediation; and victims of violence promoting alternatives to violent conflict through pedagogical and knowledge management processes that contribute to peace and reconciliation in schools and urban and rural communities.
This project is aligned with CINEP’s new strategic institutional plan.
Developing a HIV and AIDS response for the Colombian Catholic Church One of CAFOD's principal partners in Colombia, SNPS is the social department of the Colombian Church and a member of the Caritas Network.   SNPS coordinates a network of offices throughout Colombia that seek to promote peace and reconciliation, and defend human rights. 

Colombia is a country that has been ravaged by internal conflict for over 40 years and as a result over three million people have been displaced. Currently the HIV prevalence in Colombia is low (0.6% of the national adult population) and there is very little evidence of AIDS-related illnesses in the population generally, although some evidence of chronic sickness, increased TB etc is apparent among more vulnerable populations. However it is believed that real figures must be higher due to the numerous factors increasing people’s vulnerability such as poverty, unemployment, trafficking, sexual violence, militarisation, low awareness, stigma, discrimination and gender inequality.

As a result of this context, CAFOD ran a workshop on HIV and AIDS mainstreaming in 2008 for Pastoral Social staff. SNPS would like to take this work forward and submitted a proposal to CAFOD to develop a HIV strategy for SNPS (Cycle 1). As part of Cycle 2, SNPS are looking to mainstream this HIV strategy into the work of the Colombian Catholic Church and other projects and programmes of SNPS through capacity building and campaigns.
Advocacy and protection of human rights defenders and organisation in Colombia's Caribbean Region This is a transitional project following up on COL178. The project seeks to contribute to the consolidation of the capacity strengthening and the abilities of self-protection knowledge of human rights defenders and organizations, with a particular focus on community initiatives and taking into account specific needs of women, youth and small scale farmers (campesinos).
SNPS Accountability Micro-Grant 2015-2016 This project is a one year micro-grant which seeks to support the organisational strengthening of SNPS through the implementation of the institutional complaints handling mechanism, in the context of the Caritas Internationalis Common Management Standards.
Emergency Response to floods in Florencia, Caquetá This emergency grant is in response to serious flooding which occurred in the town of Florencia in the Department of Caquetá on 21st May 2010 which has affected families in a number of communities and municipalities in both urban and rural areas. In the town of Florencia alone 2,552 families (approx. 12,780 people) have been affected and 800 houses partially destroyed. One child died and two people are missing. These are the worst floods to hit the region in the last few years and the Colombian Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environment (IDEAM) has warned the population of more heavy rains to come with a risk of storms.

Our partner, Pastoral Social in Florencia, responded immediately to the disaster distributing clothes and medicines donated by the community to 32 affected families in the town of Florencia. The diocese now requires further support to reach more affected families who have been forced to evacuate from their homes. This grant is a contribution to the diocese of Florencia’s relief efforts to support 200 families (approx 1,000 people) with essential food and non food items. A number of the beneficiaries of the CAFOD / EU funded livelihoods programme (COL160 / COL168) have been affected by the floods and they will be included in this project. This includes members of six of the businesses in Florencia including the Metal Recycling business (one member’s home was destroyed), the greengrocer, chicken selling business, clothes making and restaurant.
Protecting and Supporting Human Rights Defenders in Colombia- Closure and Consolidation This projects seeks to consolidate the activities of a Colombian component of a project that aims to support and protect human right defenders at risk working on land and environmental rights in Latin America, with a focus on Colombia and Guatemala.  Following the significant increase in the number of human rights defenders killed, threatened, stigmatised and criminalised across Latin America. The project will consolidate and support efforts to provide urgent protection and capacity strengthening of human rights defenders at risk working in remote rural areas and to enable their cases to be heard at national and international level through advocacy and communications work. It has a particular focus on the most marginalised and excluded groups, namely indigenous and afro-descendent communities.
Social projects of the Colombian Jesuits This project aims to assist CINEP and the Colombian Jesuits. The overall aim of the Colombian Jesuits, of ‘serving the faith and promoting justice,’ has been translated in Colombia into four specific dimensions: sustainable rural development, research and popular education, the creation of a peace culture, and support for displaced people.   

CAFOD funds CINEP, an institution that provides critical analysis through its research to offer an alternative model of development for Colombia. Its Peace Programme works to promote public participation and citizenship, and advocates a reduction in inequality and a state that serves the interests of its citizens. 

CAFOD's grants are for core support to CINEP and the Peace programme, with an element to support the Jesuits' efforts to increase the integration between their social programmes. CINEP’s 3-year plan, 2015-2017, represents a further stage in adjusting CINEP’s work to the more focused and coordinated approach of the Colombian Jesuit province.
Empowering Afro Colombian communities to defend natural resources in Chocó With this project, the Diocese of Quibdó aims to accompany the Afro-Colombian communities of Alto Atrato, Choco, Colombia (Cocomopoca) in the defence of their existence, traditional livelihoods and well-being as one of Colombia’s most excluded ethnic groups. An essential part of this work involves defending the collective land to which Cocomopoca obtained a title in 2011. The Cocomopoca territory and people are under particular threat from different forms of mining, especially medium-scale mechanised mining which is often illegal and controlled by armed groups, as well as large scale mining concessions which cover over two thirds of the Cocomopoca land.
Protecting and Supporting Human Rights Defenders in Colombia This project is the Colombian component of a project that aims to support and protect human right defenders at risk working on land and environmental rights in Latin America, with a focus on Colombia and Guatemala.  In recent years, we have seen a significant increase in the number of human rights defenders killed, threatened, stigmatised and criminalised across Latin America. This project will provide urgent protection and capacity strengthening of human rights defenders at risk working in remote rural areas and will enable their cases to be heard at national and international level through advocacy and communications work. It has a particular focus on the most marginalised and excluded groups, namely indigenous and afro-descendent communities.
Emergency capacity strengthening SNPS-CC has more than 60 years of experience in implementing humanitarian emergency response programmes financed by international cooperation and the Colombian government, through the Ecclesiastical Jurisdictions, which are its partners on the ground with the capacity to attend places that, due to their distance or because they are located in areas of ongoing armed conflict, other agencies cannot attend. In addition, the Catholic Church is recognised in Colombia as one of the first responders in humanitarian crises caused by natural and anthropogenic events and derived from the armed conflict through a warm and comprehensive response to the main needs of affected families and individuals. 
Colombia is a country with permanent crises and diverse causes. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in crises that have more than one cause, making their response more complex. 
This project seeks to improve emergency response capacity of SNPS/CC and Ecclesiastical Jurisdictions, especially towards enabling a timelier response.
Responding to the interconnected socio-environmental crisis in Chocó, Colombia The objective of this project is to respond to the interconnected crisis people and planet are facing in Chocó by providing technical and legal support to AfroColombian, Indigenous and campesino organisations (ETOs), who are defending their territory, and thereby through creative legal, cultural and political advocacy actions promoting and celebrating local agency and voice of some of the most marginalised and vulnerable communities in Colombia. 
This project will be carried out through three lines of action: 1) working with a ruling on the restitution of territorial rights in favour of the Community Council of the Upper Atrato Peasant and Popular Organisation (COCOMOPOCA), which is ground-breaking in terms of recognizing the relationship between armed conflict and large-scale mining, and the recognition of the right to prior consultation during all the phases of mining projects; 2) the Atrato Fest, which is a way to reconnect with the river, revitalise cultural practices and fosters community ownership of the Atrato River Ruling (T-622 of 2016) through art, care and protection of the river; and 3) the defence of artisanal fishing which is not only the defence of the food sovereignty of vulnerable communities but, from a biocultural perspective, it is a way to vindicate the AfroColombian cultural identity and, also, a way to protect the marine ecosystems seriously threatened by overexploitation.
Colombia Multi-Partner workshop - November 2015 This is a CAFOD facilitated 3 day workshop in Bogota, with the following objectives: Carry out an analysis of the current context and peace negotiations; Review of CAFOD’s Regional Strategy Plan priorities and share work of interest from other CAFOD partners in the region (e.g. participatory water monitoring in Peru etc) with input from FUNVIPAS; Share information about REPAM; Discuss tools such as stories of change / testimonies to improve partners’ qualitative monitoring methodologies; training on Child Protection.
Improving protection and capacity of human rights defenders and organisations in Colombia This project seeks to improve the protection and capacity of Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) and HRD organisations who are working for the rights of victims of armed conflict in five departments of Colombia. These departments have been chosen due to their high levels of human rights violations and where the work of human rights defenders and civil society organizations are facing serious obstacles and pressures, including life-threatening situations. 
 
This project will combine both practical support and emergency assistance to HRDs, capacity development activities for HRDs and HRD organisations, and a strong component of national and international advocacy to tackle the root causes of injustice facing HRDs and victims of the armed conflict.
 
This project is 81% funded by the European Commission's European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights budget line and will be implemented in Colombia by SNPS (Caritas Colombia) and ABColombia (international advocacy element). Both are established partners of CAFOD. SCIAF will be a collaborating partner. We will also be working with other Caritas agencies (Caritas Norway, Trocaire, Caritas Switzerland and CIDSE in awareness-raising/advocacy activities) and with CAFOD’s Governance Team and CIDSE around the issue of civil society space and the Busan process.  

The total budget for the project is Euro 1,140,879 and the project will be completed over 36 months. The remaining contributions come from CAFOD CGF, CAFOD CDF and SCIAF funds.
