    Improvement of human security conditions in Soacha through the development of an integrated and sustainable social protection system

    Duration: May 2010 - May 2013
    Budget: US$2,670,613
    Implementing Agencies: WHO/PAHO, OCHA, UNICEF, WFP, UNODC, UNIFEM, UNHCR, FAO

    The programme improved the overall human security of vulnerable groups in Soacha through a multi-sectoral response by seven UN agencies in collaboration with national and municipal authorities, civil society organisations, and the communities themselves. This led to an important multiplier effect where interventions in one area had positive impacts in other areas, while also providing incentives for people to engage in activities that benefited the entire community.
