Description

Program´s overview: PazDiversa is a comprehensive program aimed at promoting sustainable and inclusive peace in Colombia by strengthening the capacity of state institutions and civil society organizations to implement specific gender measures from the peace agreement with an intersectional approach. The program started in February 2023 and has identified three key areas of action to achieve its objectives. Firstly, by bolstering the political participation of women and LGBTIQ+ individuals, the program seeks to promote their inclusion in decision-making processes related to the implementation of gender-specific measures in the Peace Agreement. Secondly, by transforming local socio-economic conditions, the program aims to empower the actors of civil society by providing them with the necessary skills and resources to participate in the implementation process with a focus on rural reform. Finally, by providing training to counter unequal power relations and discrimination, the program aims to enhance the capabilities of institutions and civil society organizations to address gender-specific challenges. The program recognizes the crucial role that an intersectional approach plays in achieving gender equality and reconfiguring power relations. PazDiversa aims to ensure that gender-specific measures are implemented in a manner that is sensitive to the different experiences of individuals and groups. This approach considers the multiple and intersecting identities and experiences that individuals may have, and how they shape their blossom in terms of access to resources and opportunities. The program is currently being implemented in Norte de Santander, Caquetá, Florencia, and Meta, with a coordination office in Bogotá. Moreover, the program incentivizes partnerships with the public and private sector to promote economic autonomy for women and LGBTQ+ social actors.
