COL: Contribution to Colombia’s Humanitarian Fund led by UNOCHA
In Colombia, protracted armed conflicts, increasing impacts of climate change, intense migratory influxes, persistent high poverty rates, and limited institutional capacity in peripheral areas continue to drive humanitarian needs. In this context, the Colombia Humanitarian Fund, a multi-donor fund lead by the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), aims to provide targeted humanitarian responses to conflict affected people and migrants with the enhanced engagement of local actors and structures.

| Hintergrund | Colombia faces stark inequalities and persistent armed conflict in remote areas, despite the 2016 Peace Agreement. Increased extreme weather and migration have heightened humanitarian needs. As a middle-income nation with a committed government and active civil society, Colombia was chosen for the UN OCHA Flagship Initiative, a reform strategy to strengthen and foster locally-led humanitarian aid. This initiative emphasizes "localization," which entails empowering community organizations, local NGOs, and government agencies to lead emergency responses. The Colombian Humanitarian Pooled Fund will provide resources to build resilience and enable faster, more effective local-led responses. |
| Ziele | To promote timely response to humanitarian needs caused by conflict and natural disasters, advance localizationand support the objectives of the UNOCHA Flagship Initiative in Colombia. |
| Zielgruppen | Crises-affected local people and migrants in Colombia, particularly those who live in hard-to-reach areas, including indigenous and afro-Colombian communities, boys, girls and women. |
| Mittelfristige Wirkungen | At least 20’0001 persons reached in emergencies (HA_ARI_1), as a result of Swiss contribution to the Fund. |
| Resultate |
Erwartete Resultate: Humanitarian responses are effective, timely, and coordinated ensuring that humanitarian actions are both rapid and well-targeted, and implemented by the best-positioned actors to respond. Resilience and Innovation is stegthened as, humanitarian responses become more adaptable, sustainable, and aligned with the needs of affected populations. Resultate von früheren Phasen: This proposal covers a single phase. Lessons learnt and results from UN OCHA's past use of Country-Based Pooled Funds in Colombia inform the design of the Colombian Humanitarian Fund, which will exclusively fund local NGOs for rapid response to emergencies. |
