The report aims to provide an overview of the migratory trends and characteristics in Colombia, as well as the impact of migration on the country's socio-economic development. Colombia's migratory context is characterized by a complex set of factors, including demographic, economic, and social dynamics. The country has experienced significant migration flows, both internal and international, driven by various push and pull factors. The report highlights the importance of understanding these trends and characteristics to inform policy decisions and develop effective migration management strategies. The report is divided into four parts. Part A provides an overview of the migratory trends and characteristics in Colombia, including the country's demographic profile, migration patterns, and the impact of migration on the economy and society.

Part C discusses the legal framework and institutional architecture for migration governance in Colombia, including the country's constitutional and legislative framework, as well as its international commitments.
