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.
