Decentralized Approach to Community Support
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, let's explore the role NGOs played in supporting municipalities after displacement. Can anyone explain what a decentralized approach means in this context?
A decentralized approach means that each area gets tailored support from specific organizations suited to their needs.
Exactly! This allows NGOs to focus on local conditions. For instance, there was an NGO named 'Fenavip' responsible for Calarca. Why is it beneficial for NGOs to be assigned specific municipalities?
It helps them adapt their strategies better based on local needs and resources.
Great point! This localized strategy enhances efficiency. Remember the acronym DECO? It stands for Decentralization Ensuring Community Organization, which emphasizes community involvement. Can anyone name another NGO and their assigned municipality?
Antioquia Presente was assigned to La Tebaida!
Correct! To sum up, NGOs focusing on specific municipalities resulted in a more effective and adaptive response to community needs.

Moving on, let's discuss the emergence of temporary shelters after the displacement. What do we know about their early development?
People started building them on any available land, right?
Exactly! Initially, these shelters weren't part of the official plan, but communities took initiative. Who was responsible for managing these shelters?
The national university of Bogota was tasked with managing them.
You're correct! This partnership between academia and community showcases a collaborative effort to ensure proper management and oversight. Can anyone think of the importance of a university in this role?

Next, let's explore how coffee grower's cooperative societies contribute to community development. Can someone summarize their primary focus?
They aim to improve livelihoods by focusing on the efficiency of coffee production and helping families.
Right! Their focus isn't just on coffee but on enhancing the quality of life for the growers and their families. How do they achieve this?
They connect local growers to national and international markets, right?
Exactly! This connection provides them with broader opportunities. Remember the acronym COFFEE? It stands for Cooperative Outreach for Financial and Family Empowerment. Can anyone relate this back to the reconstruction efforts?
Yes, by improving family income, they help stabilize the community for better rebuilding post-crisis!
Fantastic! To conclude, cooperative societies enhance resilience in communities while fostering a solid ground for recovery.
Introduction & Overview
Read a summary of the section's main ideas. Choose from Basic, Medium, or Detailed.
Quick Overview
Standard
The development of temporary units was facilitated through government support and NGO involvement, focusing on eliminating corruption, improving transparency, and encouraging community participation. The management of housing and infrastructure for coffee-growing communities was particularly emphasized, demonstrating how cooperative societies can enhance local livelihoods while addressing immediate needs.
Detailed
Overview
The development of temporary units has been significantly supported by government initiatives and various NGOs. This effort aimed to eliminate corruption by reducing the number of intermediaries involved in decision-making processes and to ensure transparency, democratic engagement, and community participation.
Key Concepts
- Decentralized Approach: To address the needs of displaced individuals, each municipality received assistance from specific NGOs, such as 'Fenavip' for Calarca and 'Antioquia Presente' for La Tebaida. This approach enabled targeted support adaptable to the unique needs of each area.
- Temporary Shelters: Initially not included in the plans, temporary shelters emerged as communities began constructing units with available resources. This self-initiation had to be managed effectively, leading to the assignment of oversight to the national university of Bogota.
- Cooperative Societies: Organizations like the coffee grower cooperatives focused on improving community livelihoods through infrastructure development and access to resources, linking local activities with national and international markets.
Reconstruction Phases
The reconstruction effort occurs in two phases: an emergency phase where immediate needs such as tents and food were addressed, and a permanent phase focusing on long-term housing and community infrastructure stability.
Financial Management
The creation of the FORECAFE fund for reconstruction illustrates the mobilization of savings, external aid, and donations from corporate partners (e.g., Starbucks) to support housing and infrastructure projects.
In summary, the strategies employed and lessons learned within the development of temporary units not only respond to immediate crises but also facilitate a pathway to sustainable community development.

Various NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) were engaged to contribute to the activities by assigning specific tasks to each, based on geographical areas such as municipalities. This allowed for targeted support and accountability, where each NGO could focus on their assigned municipality.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a large community event where different groups are assigned to manage different sections—one group runs the food stall, another organizes games, while yet another handles decoration. This way everyone knows their responsibilities, making the event organized and successful.

Over 6,000 temporary units were established, with management responsibilities assigned to a public entity, the National University of Bogotá. This illustrates the community's adaptability in response to immediate needs.
