WFP’s activities in Colombia were aligned with emerging priorities of the Government to address humanitarian, recovery, development and technical assistance needs and contribute to peace and reintegration. WFP supported the Government’s peacebuilding priorities with the aim of achieving sustainable solutions for victims of the conflict. In line with the CSP strategic outcomes, WFP contributed to institutional capacity strengthening in implementing culturally-sensitive interventions and the generation of evidence to support food security and nutrition policies and programmes. WFP prioritized assisting victims of conflict, including internally displaced people, confined communities and returnees, and women victims of violence, as well as victims of natural disasters and shocks. Targeted communities were mostly ethnic minorities. Food assistance was provided through in-kind and cash-based transfer (CBT) modalities, in partnership with strategic allies, particularly governmental partners at national and local levels. WFP also supported conflict-affected returnees and resettled communities in recovering their livelihoods and building resilience. WFP supported women in order to promote economic autonomy, improve their food security and strengthen capacities to prevent gender-based violence. Finally, WFP provided humanitarian assistance to returnees and Venezuelan migrants with resilience-building activities. WFP supported both men and women smallholder farmers in order to: i) sustainably enhance their production by ensuring that it satisfies quantity requirements and quality standards, using native species, and promoting sustainable agriculture; ii) strengthen marketing capacities, providing technical assistance and facilitating access to public and private markets.
