Colombia
Following the 2016 Peace agreement between the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (FARC - EP), other armed actors are now competing for the control of territories and their illegal economies, with serious consequences for the population and their rights.
Fight for Humanity and its partner Gestos de Paz are aiming to strengthen the capacity of dialogue, participation, coexistence and reconciliation of the key actors affected by armed conflict in the Cauca department.
In addition to this project, Fight for Humanity, as part of the "Beyond Compliance Consortium research programme - building evidence by armed actors", led by the University of York is conducting a case study in Colombia to shed light on how states and non-state groups operate. Understanding this can be a valuable tool for policymakers, operational actors, and civilian communities that they can employ in their efforts to mitigate conflict induced civilian harm.
