The programme organised community-based activities to raise awareness amongst relevant institutions and civil society organisations on child rights, the rights of refugees, and the situation of Colombian refugees and migrants.
Integrated Approach for the Protection of Vulnerable Populations Affected by the Colombian Conflict on Ecuador’s Northern Border
Duration: May 2006– April 2009
Budget: US$1,914,219
Implementing Agencies: UNICEF, WFP, UNHCR
The goal of the programme was to protect the human rights of the most vulnerable populations, namely Ecuadorian and Colombian children, adolescents, and their families living in Ecuador’s Northern Border region. As a result, existing legal frameworks and available protection and empowerment mechanisms were strengthened for refugees, unaccompanied children and host communities with little access to basic social services.
