| Boletin Equipo Humanitario 02 - Equipo Humanitario de Pais y Colombia Humanitaria responden a comunidades mas necesitadas por Ola Invernal Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:25:06 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Colombia Editorial Equipo Humanitario de Pais y Colombia Humanitaria responden a comunidades mas necesitadas por Ola Invernal El Fondo Nacional de Calamidades de Colombia aprobo cerca de 10.000 millones de pesos colombianos para acciones prioritarias del Plan de Respuesta a la emergencia invernal 2010-2011 del Equipo Humanitario de Pais. Trabajo coordinado con el Sistema Nacional de Atencion Integral a la Poblacion Desplazada, SNAPD, y la Direccion de Gestion del Riesgo, DGR. El Coordinador Residente/ Humanitario presento el Plan de Respuesta como un documento estrategico al Gobierno Nacional, dando respuesta inmediata ante la emergencia invernal de inicios de ano, que se considera la mas severa registrada en los ultimos 60 anos en el pais. El Gobierno anuncio que los recursos provendran de la subcuenta de Colombia Humanitaria y seran canalizados por Sistema de Naciones Unidas y ejecutados por el EHP. Los proyectos que se derivan del Plan de Respuesta se desarrollaran en el Choco (Cuencas del Rio Baudo y Litoral de San Juan), Cauca (Guapi, Timbiqui y Lopez de Micay) y Narino (El Charco). Estas zonas fueron seleccionadas usando criterios de doble afectacion (el conflicto armado y Ola Invernal), estan consideradas de dificil acceso y complementan las acciones del gobierno. Esta respuesta humanitaria esta planteada en forma integral e intersectorial ya que incluira proyectos coordinados desde los sectores de agua y saneamiento e higiene, albergues, salud, seguridad alimentaria y nutricion, medios de vida y educacion. Los proyectos seran intervenciones de emergencia y se desarrollaran en un periodo de 6 a 9 meses. La implementacion de las acciones en estas zonas permitira brindar asistencia humanitaria a cerca de 60,000 personas y reducira vulnerabilidades frente a una nueva temporada de lluvias, ya que es de esperarse que las zonas mas afectadas por el fenomeno de la Nina tambien sean seriamente impactadas por la temporada de lluvias de 2011. El Plan de Respuesta de la comunidad internacional permitiria fortalecer la institucionalidad local, asi como organizaciones de la sociedad civil, hacer monitoreo y seguimiento a la respuesta de emergencia, basada en los principios humanitarios, en un momento politicamente delicado como el periodo de elecciones locales y departamentales. |
