Dec 14, 2020 - May 31, 2025

This project aims to strengthen the implementation of Colombia's "Territorial-focused Development Plans" (known as PDETs in Spanish). The project does this by supporting the combined work of “Territorial Trust,” a sub-national network of peace implementation actors in PDET regions. And the Colombian Brain Trust, a network of experts who played a direct and significant role in the Colombian peace negotiations in Havana. Together, the Brain and Territorial Trusts provide analysis, policy advice, and recommendations to policy-makers on peace implementation, emphasizing PDET implementation. Project activities include: (1) holding sessions with the Brain and Territorial Trusts that serve to identify, debate and analyze challenges and solutions; formulating policy recommendations, and defining engagement strategies aimed at catalyzing PDET implementation; (2) conducting workshops aimed at building knowledge on lessons learned from different conflict contexts; (3) preparing and distributing policy analyses on risks and opportunities for peace implementation in Colombia; and (4) conducting public outreach with broader audiences, including actors with different political views or technical interpretations of the Peace Agreement’s implementation.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) established greater consensus among the general population in Colombia on critical matters related to the implementation of the Peace Agreement, including its gender components; and (2) enhanced a gender-responsive implementation of the Peace Agreement in Colombia by national and local level policymakers, especially in the territories that were most affected by the armed conflict.

Peace and Stabilization Operations

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.
