Soutien au développement et à l'évaluation de projets productifs pour la réinsertion d'anciens membres des Farc-EP (angl.)

The national government, through the Agency for the Reinstatement and Normalization aimed to reinstate the ex-combatants of the FARC-EP into civilian life and, thus, supported the development of productive projects with an average investment of 8 million per ex-combatant, which allowed them to generate legal income. To guarantee the success of the reinstatement and avoid future criminal behavior, these economic and productive initiatives needed to be sustainable in the short, medium and long term. The aim was to strengthen the development opportunities and income generation of the reinstated population, based on the long-term sustainable productive activities that shall improve their economic sustainability and social integration.

Le projet

This project, implemented by Swisscontact, aimed to support the Government’s efforts by strengthening the feasibility of these productive initiatives, beginning with the formulation and evaluation of the projects. Technical advice was provided from the planning stage of the productive projects, identifying market opportunities for these projects from a value chain approach. The fact that many of the beneficiaries lived in isolated rural areas of difficult access and low infrastructure with few public services often presents a challenge that can constrain the viability of the projects.

The Agency for the Reinstatement and Normalization (ARN) has identified 40 collective projects and 509 individual projects. The most relevant production projects had to do with livestock, coffee and fish farming. These projects were accompanied by Swisscontact with a team of specialised consultants in each production line who also have experience in the market component.
