This project aims to address the information gap of the conflict dynamics in the Colombia-Venezuela and Colombia-Ecuador border regions through research, analysis and reporting.

The project also works to provide opportunities for civil society to advocate with the centre for increased state presence and protection mechanisms in their regions.

Program:

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.
