Background |
In Colombia, the main drivers of the deteriorating humanitarian situation continue to be the conflict and the new dynamics of armed violence - despite the Peace Agreement between the Government and the FARC. Additionally, the impact of the outflow of refugees and migrants from Venezuela is felt most keenly in Colombia. Since the end of 2015, the number of Venezuelan refugees and migrants in Colombia has increased by 2’546%. Ongoing political, human rights and socio-economic developments in Venezuela has compelled growing numbers of children, women and men to leave for neighbouring countries and beyond under precarious protection and the most-urgent basic needs of Venezuelans remaining in the country are no longer satisfied. Underdevelopment in Central America- economic, social and political - is deeply rooted in social and political exclusion, criminal violence and weak political institutions that ultimately erode not only economic competitiveness but also its democratic practices and institutions. The migration trend in the Northern Triangle has been spurred by waves of severe violence and insecurity associated with an environment of organized crime networks. In turn, a larger number of people have sought to leave their home countries, including many applying for political asylum to escape persecution from narco-trafficking networks, gangs, or extortion rings. |
