The profiles are carried out by the professionals of returns and relocations of the Victims Unit, both at the national and territorial levels in coordination with municipal links.

A total of 840 homes victims of forced displacement have been profiled by return and relocation officials of the Victims Unit, with a cutoff on May 31.

This exercise is carried out in order to identify the sociodemographic, economic and educational conditions of the potential beneficiaries to define the possible productive units to be developed in the Special Schemes for Family Accompaniment (EAAF), the group of Returns and Relocations of the Victims Unit began the process to profile 3,000 homes victims of forced displacement.

According to Yolman Osorio, coordinator of the unit's group of returns and relocations, “the criteria established to define the profiles are related to the fact that these homes are located in PDET municipalities, are included in the Single Registry of Victims of forced displacement, that have not exceeded the situation of vulnerability, which have been targeted with EEA by judicial orders and homes of victims returned from abroad”.

Likewise, Osorio said that these profiles are made through video calls and telephone calls with the victims, where the support of the municipal liaisons has been essential: “We focused on four areas to work on profiles and to date we have advanced a total of 840 profiles".

The process is being carried out in 34 municipalities that encompass 17 territorial directorates of the Victims Unit.

The coordinator of the group of returns and relocations also said that with the profiles of these households it is also sought to find "what their capacities, production lines, expertise and thus strengthen with strategies, such as family EAAs, in the generation line of income to, in this way, contribute to the economic reactivation in these PDET municipalities”.

This profiling process is expected to be completed by the middle of this June.
