Fight for Humanity is starting a new phase of its project "Gesture of Peace" aiming to strengthen the capacity for dialogue, participation, coexistence and reconciliation of the key actors in three municipalities affected by armed conflict in the Cauca department in Colombia.
This project follows a first pilot phase implemented in 2023 jointly with its partner Gestos de Paz that raised awareness and built ownership of the recommendations from the Truth Commission Final Report in two municipalities, Cajibío and Popayán in the Cauca department.
This second phase, supported by the City of Geneva, will involve key local, social, economic and political actors to design, identify and promote peace agendas and three local initiatives for coexistence, peace and reconciliation. Fight for Humanity and Gestos de Paz will continue to raise awareness, disseminate and inform the population about the report’s recommendations and the project’s actions.
In addition to this project and since June 2023, Fight for Humanity, in partnership with Berghof Foundation, has also conducted activities to support the peace process between the Government of Colombia and the National Liberation Army (ELN) on two topics: environment and women’s participation in the peace process.
