Summary
March 2019 - More than 3.3 million people have fled Venezuela since 2015, many of them currently residing in neighbouring countries such as Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. In addition to hosting more than one million Venezuelans, Colombia continues to suffer from the effects of long-standing violence and armed conflict between armed groups and criminal gangs. Crises-affected people, including host communities, need basic health care, food and nutritional assistance, protection services, shelter and clean water.

Project activities include: (1) providing sexual and reproductive health services to approximately 2,000 vulnerable women and adolescent girls; (2) providing medical, mental health and psychosocial counselling to approximately 5,000 people affected by the crisis; (3) training health personnel on health care for the migrant population; and (4) training community organizations and Venezuelan associations on the right to health, gender equality, prevention of violence and sexual exploitation.

Description (French)
Mars 2019 - Plus de 3,3 millions de personnes ont fui le Venezuela depuis 2015, dont plusieurs résident actuellement dans des pays voisins tels que la Colombie, l'Équateur et le Pérou. En plus d’accueillir plus d’un million de Vénézuéliens, la Colombie continue de souffrir des effets de la violence et des conflits armés qui sévissent depuis longtemps entre groupes armés et gangs criminels. Les personnes affectées par les crises, y compris les communautés hôtes, ont besoin de soins de santé de base, d'assistance alimentaire et nutritionnelle, de services de protection, d'abris et d’eau potable.
Avec l’appui d’Affaires mondiales Canada, Médecins du Monde contribue à améliorer l’état de santé d’au plus 37 300 personnes affectées par la crise vénézuélienne dans le département de Nariño en Colombie. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) fournir des services de santé sexuelle et reproductive à environ 2 000 femmes et adolescentes vulnérables; 2) offrir des consultations médicales et de santé mentale et psychosociale à environ 5 000 personnes affectées par la crise; 3) former le personnel de santé sur la prise en charge sanitaire de la population migrante; 4) former des organisations communautaires et des associations vénézuéliennes sur le droit à la santé, l’égalité des genres, la prévention de la violence et de l’exploitation sexuelle.
Expected Results
The expected immediate outcomes of this project include: (1) equitable access to primary health and sexual and reproductive health services, as well as psychosocial support; and (2) increased capacity of partner organizations and associations.
The ultimate expected result is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity preserved in countries facing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats immédiats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) accès équitable aux services de santé primaire et de santé sexuelle et reproductive, ainsi qu’à un soutien psychosocial; 2) capacité accrue des organisations et associations partenaires.
Le résultat ultime escompté est des vies sauvées, la souffrance atténuée et la dignité humaine préservée dans les pays qui font face à une crise humanitaire ou à une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
