“Expanding Women's Access to Commercial Capital” is an initiative created by USAID/Colombia and USAID’s Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Hub (USAID/GenDev) designed to break down existing barriers in laws, regulations, policies, administrative practices, and social norms that prevent Colombian women – and especially those living in rural areas affected by the armed conflict – from accessing commercial financing on equal terms with men.

USAID activities are managed by implementing partners, and these partners require appropriate security information, security awareness, and preparedness support to complete USAID’s work in conflict-affected communities.

The Integra Activity helps the Colombian Government address social, political, and cultural challenges resulting from sustained mass migration from Venezuela. As of January 2022, over 1.8 million people have fled Venezuela to Colombia. A large percentage of these migrants have settled in Colombia’s urban areas and border towns, causing receptor communities to face unprecedented challenges in terms of socially and economically integrating migrants and returnees. In response to these challenges, Integra is improving the Colombian Government’s border and migration management capacities; strengthening municipal and departmental governments’ capacity to provide migrants access to quality social and justice services; and reducing xenophobia toward migrants. The activity is implemented in urban areas with high concentration of migrants, including Barranquilla, Bogota, Bucaramanga, Cali, Cartagena, Cúcuta, Medellin and Riohacha, and it runs from September 2021 to September 2026.
The Indigenous Peoples and Afro-Colombian Empowerment Activity (IPACE) continues USAID’s long alliance with indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities, otherwise referred to as ethnic communities in Colombia. IPACE contributes to indigenous and Afro-Colombians communities’ self-determined development by strengthening ethnic organizations’ institutional and advocacy capacity. The activity also increases ethnic communities’ participation in peace implementation. IPACE also promotes respect for cultural heritage and diversity, and supports ethnic communities’ development of environmentally sustainable socio-economic opportunities. IPACE is implemented in Colombia’s Caribbean, Pacific, and Amazon regions, as well as Bogotá. The activity runs from December 2021 to November 2026.
