| Funding | UNHCR » |
| Objectif(s) | Ensure that the displaced populations settled in the slums have access to comprehensive care through the mobile units of the different SNAIPD entities who are integrated into the UAOs. Strengthen comprehensive care through legal advice, following the accompaniment of legal clinics in the UAO brigades. |
| Results/Impact | Increase in number people assisted. Increased access to comprehensive and sectoral care through direct contact with the responsible entities (ICBF, education, health), etc. Direct presence of the different SNAIPD entities in the slums, which are normally the largest recipients of displaced population. |
| Why is this considered a Good practice? | With the UAO workshops in the neighborhood there has been a considerable increase in the number of population served and oriented in different parts of the country. The mobile workshops have been providing more specific attention, as required. By linking the legal clinics to the UAO workshops at the neighborhood, more guidance and legal action has been provided, and thus greater coverage and registration of the displaced population have been achieved. |
