Summary
In February 2021, the WFP Executive Board approved the new CSP for Colombia, covering the period from 1 March 2021 until 31 December 2024. This report thus only covers January and February 2021. Faced with increasing humanitarian needs in 2021, WFP assisted 458,337 people, including Colombians affected by internal displacement, community confinement or COVID-19, migrants, former combatants engaged in the peace process, vulnerable rural women, communities impacted by natural hazards, and schoolchildren, among others. The beneficiaries consisted of 30% women, 33% men, 18% girls, and 19% boys. Under activity 6, for the provision of technical assistance to local institutions, WFP had planned to address malnutrition through food-for-training programmes, but this activity did not receive any funds. WFP resumed activities through the distribution of take-home school rations to 66,400 Colombian and 16,500 migrant children in La Guajira and Barranquilla (50% girls and 50% boys) as an incentive for them to continue learning while schools remained closed. . In addition, 52,200 people with confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 were supported during their isolation periods (35% women, 31% men, 16% girls and 18% boys), and 18,000 vulnerable people received support to build sustainable and resilient livelihoods (30% women, 26% men, 22% girls and 22% boys). Capacity strengthening activities continued with various national institutions, local administrations, Indigenous communities, women-led farmer associations, and cooperatives led by former guerrilla combatants in the process of reintegration. In addition, two pilot projects with the International Labour Organization for the socio-economic integration of migrants were completed in February, benefiting 400 people. WFP also started supporting the Colombian Government on the implementation of the Temporary Protection Status, and the strengthening of national social protection services.
