Danish Refugee Council (Colombia)

DRC established its operational presence in Colombia in 2011 in partnership with Danish Demining Group (DDG), with a focus on Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) and supporting conflict-affected populations in the south of the country. With the onset of the large mixed migration flows into Colombia due to the Venezuelan crisis, DRC launched an integrated humanitarian response in 2018 to meet the urgent needs of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants, as well as Colombian returnees and host communities.  

Primarily based on protection activities (protection monitoring, individual protection assistance, and legal assistance), DRC’s humanitarian response also includes components of Camp Management (at the Maicao Transit Camp), Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) and cash for rent, Non-Food Item (NFI) distributions, livelihood interventions, and prevention and response to Gender Based Violence (GBV).
