The Gender Assessment for USAID/Colombia was prepared in anticipation of the 2007 Operational Plan. The Mission asked that the assessment focus on gender in relation to the armed conflict and its effects in five programming areas: justice, human rights (with emphasis on domestic violence), alternative development, internally displaced populations, and demobilization and reintegration of ex-combatants. The assessment provides an analysis of gender relations and potential constraints in each program area and offers recommendations on how the Mission might address issues of gender and conflict within these programs.
