PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Background
Colombia was dominated by armed conflict for more than 50 years. The 2016 peace agreement between the FARC guerrilla organization and the Colombian government was a milestone in bringing peace to the country. However, there are parts of the country where the causes of the conflict still exist – for example, unequal access to land, a lack of state presence, and human rights violations. More than eight million Colombians were involuntarily forced to abandon their homes and possessions, becoming internally displaced. Most live in slums on the outskirts of major cities and have little access to state services. Only a few receive adequate psychosocial support to help them cope with their often traumatic experiences – such as murder, kidnapping, torture, or rape. Internally displaced women and members of minorities such as Afro-Colombians, Indigenous people, or LGBTIQ+ people – in particular face major obstacles to earning an income. Many work as street vendors or in informal activities or are unable to take up work because they have to care for their children. A lack of basic financial knowledge often leads to far-reaching consequences, such as debt. Start-up capital for a new career is often lacking in order to set up a small business.
Goal
Women forcibly displaced by the armed conflict and other affected groups can earn a secure income, overcome poverty and lead self-determined lives.
Approach
Services tailored to the needs of the target group, such as microcredits to start businesses and vocational training and further education;
