AGIAMONDO Co-worker about their daily work and life Kenia
AGIAMONDO is the personnel service of German Catholics for development cooperation. In the Civil Peace Service (CPS), we offer professionals the opportunity for meaningful service in cooperation with local development actors. The CPS is a personnel program for violence prevention and peacebuilding in crisis and conflict regions. It works for a world in which conflicts are settled without violence. Together with church and civil society partner organizations in Colombia, AGIAMONDO wants to contribute to the civil conflict resolution there and to the sustainable and just development of the country through peacebuilding measures.
The registered non-governmental organisation (NGO) "Centro Sociojurídico para la Defensa Territorial - SIEMBRA" supports local communities in their struggle to gain control over their territories, which is very challenging in the face of widespread dispossession and exploitation. To this end, SIEMBRA provides socio-legal accompaniment and support for various processes on the Pacific coast of Chocó, in Cajamarca, Tolima and Huila, with the aim of contributing to the defence and guarantee of rights.
A particular focus is on the commitment around the Atrato River, which was granted its own legal personality by the Constitutional Court in 2016 with judgement T622. This involves restoring its natural features, such as water quality, as well as supporting the communities living there. By working with SIEMBRA, you can help to promote the enforcement of the T622 ruling by supporting the affected communities and organisations in claiming their rights through research, analysis and communication work.
