UNDP - United Nations Development Programme

Purpose

The UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund for Post-Conflict in Colombia (MPTF) was launched in 2016 in order to support the implementation of the Peace Accord between the Government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Projects funded by the MPTF are delivered by civil society, multilateral organizations, and government authorities. Canadian funding aims to support the following MPTF thematic programming priorities: (1) Stabilization: strengthening state presence and capacity in municipalities most impacted by the conflict, with the objective of bringing the state to areas where it has been historically absent, reducing inequalities and strengthening security; (2) Victims and Transitional Justice: providing support to authorities in providing collective reparation for victims, by increasing knowledge and capacities to address the differential impacts that the conflict has had on victims due to gender, age, and ethnicity; and (3) Communications: effectively communicate, on a continual basis, on the advances made in implementation of the agreement in order to counter destabilizing messages and promote a culture of peace and reconciliation.
