📋 Tender Overview
Colombia’s United Nations Multi-Donor Trust Fund for Peacebuilding is a tripartite mechanism between the Government of Colombia, the United Nations, and more than 15 donors to support the implementation of the 2016 Colombian peace agreement between the government and Colombia’s former mayor rebel group. Its continued implementation is crucial to sustain peace, stability and human rights for the benefit of vulnerable communities in former conflict affected regions. Switzer-land’s contribution to the MPTF is a critical part of its comprehensive peace agenda to Colombia.

The project in brief
Background The UN Multi-Donor Trust Fund for Peacebuilding (MPTF) was created in 2016 to support implementation of the peace agreement between the government of Colombia and the former mayor rebel group (FARC-EP guerrilla). The agreement comprises measures to im-prove the lives of people in the most affected territories, to provide reparation to victims, reintegrate demobilized combatants and address the root causes of conflict. As of 2025, the implementation of Colombia's Territorially Focused Development Plans (PDETs) in municipalities most affected by the armed conflict faces several significant challenges. These obstacles hinder the achievement of the comprehensive rural reform envisioned in the 2016 Peace Agreement due to the following shortcomings:
Weak state presence
Bureaucratic and institutional challenges
Limited community participation
Environmental and land use pressures
Human Rights and security of former combatants and social leaders
Objectives The MPTF supports coordinated action for stabilization and peacebuilding. Aligned with government priorities, the trust fund finances projects that provide transparent, effective, and results-based solutions to immediate and mediumterm post-conflict priorities in Colombia. The MPTF is aligned with the peace financing structure established by the Colombian government and supports catalytic interventions for peace implementation.
