Background NRC started its operations in Colombia in 1991 to assist populations affected by the Colombian conflict and its resulting displacement. Since 2017, NRC has also been responding to the increasing influx of people coming into Colombia from neighbouring Venezuela. At present, from its office in Bogotá, NRC also supervises and supports teams in Ecuador, Panama and Peru. NRC promotes integration between activities so as to offer a package of complementary services to beneficiaries. In Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru NRC is currently providing assistance in the following sectors of intervention: Protection, Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Shelter and Settlements, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Education, and Livelihoods and Food Security, both responding to emergencies and fostering durable solutions.
