World Vision Colombia Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) FY2019

Description

Hope without Borders is an emergency project operated by WV Colombia and funded by USAID/OFDA. The project aims to contribute to the protection of the children and other vulnerable populations, and to the economic restoration of vulnerable households affected by the Venezuela crisis, specifically at the border region in Cúcuta and its metropolitan area. The project began in April 2018 and ended in April 2019. In the protection sector, WV established protective spaces for children with support from leaders and parents, including help to identify and support of girls who are vulnerable or at risk of Gender Based Violence (GBV). The project also included a process for strengthening and creating Productive Units to restore livelihood opportunities, coordinating with local entities, Faith Based Organizations, churches, educational institutions, and local and national government entities.

21 The objectives of the baseline survey were to 1) Establish the baseline values of the project indicators in order to monitor and evaluate progress of the project, and 2) To analyze the migratory context, in order to understand the situations of beneficiary households directly affected by the migration crisis (migrants and returnees, mixed families). 250 households were interviewed in the project’s target areas near the city of Cucutá Colombia, on the Venezuelan border. There were an average of 4.90 people per household, mostly mixed Colombian and Venezuelan (29.6%) and 42% resident Colombian. About 82% stated they intend to permanently stay in Colombia. Families arrive in the city but usually live in suburban and outlying neighborhoods or settlements, where they receive the support of the community. Many expressed their gratitude to the community, saying it has been more helpful than organizations or the state. 16.7% of people interviewed were not employed or not working. Of those who work, nearly two-thirds or 61.4% are self-employed. About 8.0% of children 6 to 17 years of age are not attending school. About 35.6% of families interviewed had ever attended at child protection workshop. About 44.0% of respondents stated they felt their children are NOT safe where they live. About 21.2% of those interviewed have attended trainings on GBV issues. https://data.usaid.gov/Migration-Management/WV-Colombia-OFDA-Baseline-Dataset-FY2019/hep5-kfpj
