both the Colombian Truth Commission and civil society from the Departments of La Guajira and Cesar have increased knowledge and skills to implement historical memory initiatives that comply with the Commission’s territorial approach and meet the needs and expectations of the communities, especially those of women and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersex community.

Peace and Stabilization Operations
Program Purpose:

The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
