This report tells of the process of external evaluation of the impact, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and coherence of the project "Reincorporation of former FARC combatants in community health structures, strengthening communities for peace" (COL-17/0030), implemented by the National Society of the Colombian Red Cross (SNCRC) and financed by the Norwegian Red Cross (NorCross), and the Norwegian Embassy in Colombia from December 4, 2017 to November 30, 2023. This external evaluation, being intermediate, has a coverage from December 4, 2017 to December 31, 2022. Geographically, the evaluation was focused on the following departments, in which the project was implemented: Meta (La Macarena and Mesetas), Caquetá (El Doncello, La Montañita and San Vicente del Caguan), Cauca (Caldono), Arauca (Filipinas and Puerto Jordán), Antioquia (Dabeiba and Anorí) and North Santander (Tibú). The project in question had the general objective of contributing to the construction of a stable and lasting peace in Colombia, by supporting the reincorporation and reconciliation process of FARC ex-combatants in matters of health, contemplating actions to improve the surrounding communities and people’s skills in the reincorporation process, and to reduce barriers to access the health system through the reactivation of community health structures, and strengthen reconciliation processes between people in the process of reincorporation and surrounding communities. In turn, the project sought to strengthen the reconciliation, coexistence, and the life project of the communities and people in the process of reincorporation, and the prevention of VBG.
