# **_<u>Transferencias por Victimización</u>_**

Due to the armed conflict that Colombia suffered for more than five decades, the country has 8,785,305 victims registered in the Victims Registry.<sup>21</sup> In 2011 Law 1448 or the "Victims Law" was enacted as a regulatory framework for truth, justice, assistance, reparations, and a guarantee of non-repetition to this population. The law includes, among others, measures for immediate humanitarian aid for victims; assistance through inclusion in programs that lead to the restoration of the rights of this population and the generation of decent living conditions and return to social life; reparations, which include restitution, indemnification, rehabilitation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition.

Within the framework of the Victims Law, entities at the national level attached to the National System of Comprehensive Assistance and Reparations for Victims (SNARIV) have increased the resources and efforts devoted to the integral assistance and reparations of the victims. Following this, the Ministries and Agencies of the State have implemented various programs on issues of education and training for work, health and psychosocial care, humanitarian care, returns and relocations, housing, job creation, among others, especially focused on victims. In this incidence analysis, the amount reported by the beneficiaries was considered as the victimization transfer. However, neither the program nor the transfer associated with that program can be accurately identified. According to DNP (2018), the budget allocated for the victims’ policy was $ 13.8 trillion in 2017, about 1.5 percent of GDP.<sup>22</sup>
