"DW Akademie’s project in Colombia supports initiatives that promote the inclusion of diverse experiences in the country’s historical memory, focusing in particular on the local effects of the peace process. In general, these initiatives are aimed at giving Colombians, mainly victims and people in post-conflict areas, access to human rights-related information. To this end, the project works with different implementing partners and approaches: Consejo de Redacción (CdR) to develop training and journalistic consultancy services in regions affected by armed conflict; the community radio station Vokaribe to strengthen the community media sector on the Atlantic coast; the University of Antioquia (UdeA) in Medellín, to support the establishment of an academic centre for journalism and historical memory, as well as the training of local media and victims of conflict to report on sensitive human rights issues; the Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca (CRIC) based in the department of Cauca to promote the creation of a media centre aimed at increasing media diversity and, in particular, the participation of indigenous minorities in public discourse; and FLIP, the Foundation for Press Freedom in Bogotá. The project was evaluated along the five OECD/DAC evaluation criteria (relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability). For each criterion, the DW Akademie scoring system was applied. In addition, according to DW Akademie policy, three digital questions were included. Gender was assessed as a cross-cutting topic."
