Through different exercises and overcoming the limitations generated by the pandemic, the approval of the Territorial Action Plans (PAT), a tool that directs the public policy of victims, has been carried out.

Through Territorial Transitional Justice Committees (CTJT) and in participatory exercises, the Territorial Action Plans of the municipalities of Apartadó, Carepa, Chigorodó, Murindó have been approved, with budget designations aimed at meeting the needs identified in the victims residing in those localities.

Health, housing, education, are, among others, the lines that frame the PATs, and that are aimed primarily at victims of armed conflict.

During the development of the CTJT, the mayors of these municipalities had the presence and installation, who through the victims' links socialized and exposed the actions with their respective projected budget to fulfill their mandates, with the competences in the implementation of plans and programs aimed at victims of armed conflict.

In each municipality, for the construction of the PATs, the context, the number of victims in the municipality, their deficiencies and vulnerability, among other realities, of the more than 350.000 victims subject to care settled in the Antioquia Urabá and Darién Chocoano were taken into account.

“The approval of the territorial Action plans is the advance in the accompaniment that is being carried out by the Unit to the leaders, both in the projection of the Development Plans and in the PAT, since through these they are consolidated the lines of investment that the municipalities must reserve, to guarantee the overcoming of extreme vulnerability and the restoration of the rights of victim population in their municipalities” said Elizabeth Granada Ríos, director of the Victims Unit in Urabá Darién.

This territorial management of the Unit hopes to advance, despite the current challenges given by the distance and connectivity in the emergency, in the accompaniment and approval of these PATs in the 14 municipalities that are part of this jurisdiction.
