Colombia

Colombia is considered a “partnership country”, and the presence of Spanish Cooperation is justified by the conflict situation that the country has experienced and to which it is committed to overcoming.

The majority of Spanish Cooperation actions that provide access to water and sanitation services focus on areas of displacement due to the conflict, such as Chocó and Nariño, settlement areas of displaced populations (mainly on the outskirts of Cartagena de Indias) and rural areas and indigenous communities in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Guajira, Sucre and Cauca.

Of the eight FCAS-funded programmes in Colombia, four are in the implementation phase and four have already been completed.
