The Beyond the Pandemic project began in March 2020, as we felt that we should document and analyse potential trends and patterns of gaps and change in the humanitarian sector anecdotally put forward by the COVID-19 pandemic. The data collection for the project was largely carried out in “real-time” in 2020 and early 2021 through document analysis and key stakeholder interviews, accompanied by a virtual roundtable policy discussion. The goal was to examine how the humanitarian community has navigated the specific challenges put forward by the pandemic at the global level and in four country contexts (Cameroon, Colombia, Libya, and Myanmar). For more details, see the project’s concept note.

This report covers our findings in Colombia.
