UNHCR operation in Colombia

About this project

Despite ongoing peace negotiations, clashes between armed groups persist, resulting in the increased internal forced displacement of 6.9 million people and community confinement. UNHCR's efforts include supporting conflict-affected communities in their efforts to return, relocate, and formalize urban settlements. Colombia also hosts nearly 3 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants, with approximately 2.4 million benefiting from a Temporary Protection Status. Progress has been made in their regularization, but achieving full socio-economic integration and self-reliance remains challenging. In December 2023, Colombia co-hosted the second Global Refugee Forum, providing an opportunity to share its experiences in peacebuilding, solutions, social protection, and inclusion.
