Diakonia Colombia 2021-2025 Diakonia Colombia 2021-2025 - Diakonia Core Colombia 2021-2025 The support to Diakonia cointains two components; a core funding to the country plan; and a project support to a civil society fund. The components aim at contributing to a stable and lasting peace in Colombia with a national, territorial, and right-based perspective. The overall objectives are the following:

1) Strengthened capacity of civil society to exercise democratic participation, defence of human rights and active citizenship.
2) Implementation of the peace agreement, new peace-talks, and national reconciliation.
3) Increased gender equality in social, economic, and political structures.
4) Environmental justice and defence of the right to a healthy environment.

This support is a continuation of previous contribution with ID-number 10781. Kärnstödet till Diakonia i Colombia syftar till att bidra till en stabil och varaktig fred i landet med ett nationellt, territoriellt och rättighetsbaserat perspektiv. Detta stöd är en fortsättning av en tidigare insats med ID 10781. De övergripande målen är följande:

1) Stärkt kapacitet hos det civila samhället att utöva demokratiskt deltagande, försvar av mänskliga rättigheter och aktivt medborgarskap.
2) Genomförande av fredsavtalet, nya fredssamtal och nationell försoning.
3) Ökad jämställdhet i sociala, ekonomiska och politiska strukturer.
4) Miljörättvisa och försvar av rätten till en hälsosam miljö. The overarching goal of Diakonias country strategy for Colombia is to mobilise society for peacebuilding, making the conditions for peace a national priority. In particular, the organisation identifies the holistic implementation of existing peace accords, strengthened guarantees for the protection and safety of civil society organisations and the initiation of new peace-talks, as such prioritised conditions for peace. 

To achieve this, Diakonia proposes to strengthen and to work together with local civil society organisations to generate significant changes and structural transformations in four interrelated areas or change processes, each with its own set of objectives and results indicators:

1. Strengthened capacity of civil society to exercise democratic participation, defence of human rights and active citizenship.
2. Implementation of the peace agreements, new peace-talks and national reconciliation.
3. Increased gender equality in social, economic and political structures.
4. Environmental justice and defence of the right to a healthy environment
