1 Colombia 2018 Summary Graphs Fund Detail By Agency By 10M 7.5M Area of work 5M 2.5M Budget Amount (USD) Shortfall Organization Type UN Gov Risk Education Victim assistance Capacity Development Coordination (of mine action programmes) Cross-cutting 0M Summary Between 1990 and 2017 Colombia recorded antipersonnel landmine and unexploded ordnance (UXO) victims of which 7033 were members of the security forces and 4485 were civilians. In the same period more than events related to the use of such devices were recorded in the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA). The estimated total area of contamination is 52 million square metres with devices suspected in about 60% of Colombia's 1122 municipalities in 31 out of 32 departments. The Mine Action Strategic Plan - Colombia Free from the Suspicion of Antipersonnel Mines by 2021 divided municipalities into four categories based on the level of impact that they suffer: high impact (199 municipalities) medium impact (291) low impact (183) and no impact (429). The strategy then defined a differential intervention plan prioritizing municipalities suffering the greatest impact. To date 242 municipalities have been assigned to demining organizations containing 26 million m2 of estimated contamination. 75 are under intervention; 141 are in a process of preparation; and information is being reviewed in 26. In 2017 Descontamina Colombia launched a national standard on mine risk education (MRE) to ensure the quality of activities and to accredit MRE organizations. With regard to victim assistance Descontamina Colombia has reaffirmed the commitment to compensate victims as it is central to the 2016 Peace Agreement between the Government and FARC-EP recognizing them not only as victims but also as citizens with rights. This means victims will be recognized for the positive contribution they and their families have made to the development of the country. Some of the key obstacles facing the mine action sector include: 1) the high cost of demining linked to the remote location of minefields the challenging geography of Colombia and the demining techniques therefore required; 2) the need for international technical and financial cooperation; and 3) the continuing presence of illegal armed actors threatening the security of demining operations despite the advances made in this regard with the Peace Agreement. Scope of the Problem Recent years have seen a significant decrease in the number of new victims with 89 in 2016 and 50 in 2017 down from a peak of 1232 in The Strategic Plan has allowed for an increase in humanitarian demining capacity with 12 organizations (two military known as "the national capacity" and 10 civilian) and 5468 individuals accredited as of November There has also been an increase in the capacity for external monitoring of humanitarian demining with the OAS (responsible for this function) expanding its personnel from 17 individuals in December 2016 to 68 in November National Mine Action Standards have been developed and implemented. 180 municipalities have been declared free of suspected and reported contamination. While m2 was cleared prior to June m2 was cleared between July 2016 and November 2017 alone. Two initiatives have been agreed between the Government and FARC-EP to implement mine action commitments made in the Peace Agreement: the first relates to the provision of information on landmine usage by FARC-EP; and the second to the creation of a civilian humanitarian demining organization composed of former FARC-EP combatants accredited in 2017 as Humanicemos DH. With regard to MRE six organizations have been accredited against the new standard and another eight authorized to continue their existing MRE models before gaining accreditation. In terms of victim assistance 2017 saw the launch of the Antipersonnel Landmine Survivor Information Service (SISMAP) - a national tool that enables the monitoring of access to health rights and physical rehabilitation. A differential approach to demining operations has been adopted to address the challenges of Colombia's geography reflect its multicultural characteristics (including the specific needs of indigenous groups Afro-Colombians and rural communities) and respond to contamination within Colombia's national parks. Such an approach increases the time requirements and costs of demining. Following the signature of the Peace Agreement adjustments and updates are needed to the Government's existing mine action policy (CONPES 3567 of 2009). Coordination and Consultation: The Colombian Government has allocated resources for mine action since 2003 through various investment projects. For the allocation of these resources Descontamina Colombia has defined integrated strategies for the coordination and implementation of activities in each pillar 1

2 of mine action. Likewise a strategy has been developed for the targeting of international cooperation resources focused on effective project management. One major aspect of the international community's efforts to support Colombia on mine action has been the Global Humanitarian Demining Initiative launched on 4 February 2016 and promoted by the United States and the Kingdom of Norway to manage international donor contributions. To date the following 25 donors have joined this initiative: Argentina Belgium Brazil Canada Chile Cuba the European Union Germany the Republic of Korea France Italy Israel Japan Lithuania Mexico New Zealand Norway Poland Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland the United Kingdom the United States and Uruguay. In addition several South-South technical cooperation initiatives have been developed through which Colombia seeks to exchange best practices lessons learned and knowledge with other countries facing mine action challenges. The provision of international public and private cooperation assistance complemented by national government budget allocations to mine action in Colombia is a reflection of successful teamwork complementarity and institutional coordination between national entities nongovernmental organizations and international cooperation agencies and is resulting in the implementation of humanitarian demining operations for the benefit of Colombian communities. With the support of the Presidential Agency for International Cooperation (APC) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Directorate for International Cooperation the progress made in mine action and in the projects managed with international cooperation resources has been presented at various national and international events fulfilling the principles of transparency and accountability. Strategy To comply with Colombia's Ottawa Treaty commitments Descontamina Colombia designed the Strategic Plan through a process of interinstitutional coordination to produce a greater understanding of the true extent of landmine and UXO problem in each department. Departmental intervention plans have been developed for each category of municipality and in line with agreements reached at the Havana peace talks: Category I: Demining operations to be progressively implemented in the 199 municipalities categorized as highly-impacted and operations in all of them to start before MRE and victim assistance activities will also be implemented. Category II: For the 291 municipalities with a medium level of impact the main priority of the intervention plan is to conduct non-technical survey to produce an improved understanding of contamination in such municipalities and inform decision-making on the implementation of further actions. MRE and victim assistance activities will also be implemented. Category III: For the 183 municipalities with a low level of impact the intervention plan focuses on the review of available information with local actors in order to determine whether recorded incidents suggest an ongoing risk for communities or not and whether there have been events which are not recorded. In cases where a risk is identified further mine action interventions will be carried out. In cases where it is concluded there is no risk any recorded events will be "closed" in IMSMA. MRE and victim assistance activities will also be implemented. Category IV: In municipalities with no recorded impact information will be monitored with the aim of identifying any risks which emerge due to the presence of antipersonnel mines or UXO. Coordination on risk education and information management will be maintained at the national departmental and municipal levels. Descontamina Colombia has a comprehensive portfolio of projects that aims to deliver the Mine Action Strategic Plan - Colombia Free from the Suspicion of Antipersonnel Mines by Actions are planned under three pillars of mine action (humanitarian demining victim assistance and MRE) as well as on the crosscutting issue of institutional strengthening. The projects included in the UN Mine Action Portfolio for 2018 are summarized below. For further information on mine action needs in Colombia and projects not included in the UN portfolio including the implementation of demining operations please contact Descontamina Colombia. Descontamina Colombia presents two projects that will support the assessment of antipersonnel land mine victims and the promotion of cost-efficiency in demining operations: Location and assessment of antipersonnel landmine and UXO victims. Cost: USD Development of a comprehensive and dynamic model for the assessment of humanitarian demining costs and the evaluation of economic and environmental impacts - first phase. Cost: USD UNMAS presents four projects: Support to the development of mine action capacities in Colombia. Institutional strengthening of Dirección Descontamina Colombia through the deployment of national advisors Strengthening of Descontamina Colombia's capacity for regional mine action coordination. Socio-economic reintegration of former combatants through mine action (Humanicemos DH). UNICEF presents two projects: MRE in emergency situations and assistance to victims of antipersonnel landmines UXO and IEDs in prioritized zones. MRE in schools for girls boys adolescents and their families in areas affected by armed conflict. The differential approach employed in the Mine Action Strategic Plan - Colombia free from the Suspicion of Antipersonnel Mines by 2021 has been based not just on variances in the level of impact that contamination has had across Colombia but also on variances related to issues of gender and ethnicity. In this respect the Strategic Plan includes cross-cutting and differential approaches on gender and ethnicity.
