War Child has been active in Colombia since 2006 with activities in different departments of the country. Currently it has a presence in Cauca, Valle del Cauca, Chocó, La Guajira and Bógota. These departments have been historically affected by the internal conflict, and some of them more recently by migration flows. With the support from different donors, such as the European Commission and the UN Peacebuilding Fund, War Child provides much needed psychosocial support and education to children in rural, urban, and hard to reach areas, and have promoted the capacity-building in child protection for parents, caregivers and teachers. Different initiatives have been implemented with indigenous, afro-Colombian, and migrant communities that have strengthened their child protection systems. Moreover, in Colombia War Child has created partnerships with governmental institutions to transfer successful experiences and activate assistance mechanisms to address violations of children's rights.

A participative, youth centred, strengths-based, and gender transformative youth program is currently being implemented in Colombia with a strong focus on co-creation and establishing a dialogue between the humanitarian sector with relevant topics to the localization agenda such as decolonization, feminisms, anti-racism and power & resources sharing.
