FACTSHEET: COLOMBIA, Overcoming challenges, creating opportunities

The Peace Agreement has called for “a new Colombian countryside” through integrated rural reform, which will seek to reverse the numerous causes and effects of the conflict in a “radical transformation of the rural and agrarian reality in Colombia”. The EU supports the National Development Plan – seeking to follow the government’s leadership and revive the country, including a focus on reducing social and territorial inequalities between urban and rural areas through the comprehensive development of rural areas as a guarantee for equal opportunities.
