Colombia

Despite ongoing peace negotiations, clashes between armed groups persist, resulting in the increased internal forced displacement of 6.9 million people and community confinement. UNHCR's efforts include supporting conflict-affected communities in their efforts to return, relocate, and formalize urban settlements.

Colombia also hosts nearly 3 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants, with approximately 2.4 million benefiting from a Temporary Protection Status. Progress has been made in their regularization, but achieving full socio-economic integration and self-reliance remains challenging.

In December 2023, Colombia co-hosted the second Global Refugee Forum, providing an opportunity to share its experiences in peacebuilding, solutions, social protection, and inclusion.
