APC Colombia & eLankidetza – Urban Agenda for Peace and Non-Violence (2023–2025)

The project supported the participatory design of an Urban Agenda for Peace and Non-Violence, aimed at connecting the territorial challenges of urban peace with international agendas, knowledge, and cooperation opportunities. Through international seminars, focus groups, and dialogue processes involving local, national, and international stakeholders, the project developed the agenda framework and supported its localization in Buenaventura through the formulation of a public policy on urban peace. The process culminated in a practical guide to facilitate the adaptation of the Agenda in other cities and territories across Colombia, Latin America, and beyond.
