Abstract
The project focuses on the development of sports and employment opportunities for PWD, with a particular emphasis on victims of the conflict. Implementation of the project's activities began in the third trimester, with a focus on regional tournaments, one per zone, which provided participants with the opportunity to meet and mingle, and allowed for a progress assessment in the sporting process. Uniforms were provided for the activity, and work was done on the identification of providers to improve the logistics of sporting events in the two zones. The professional inclusion workshop was carried out in the cities of both zones, with the exception of Quibdó and Bogotá, which are still pending. These workshops were rescheduled for the month of February 2015. The psycho-social specialist linked to the project used the sporting events to collect data on socioeconomic characterization and apply psychological tests related to quality of life and self-image. The project's activities are tracked using four general activities, which are directly linked to the project's general and specific objectives. These activities include participants' recruitment, purchase of sport equipment and uniforms, training, and organization of regional tournaments. The project also focuses on the development of a directory of services for PWD and victims, and the gathering of information about services available to them. The project's budget lines include relations with local partners, travel and transportation, personal salaries, and other direct costs. The project's activities are carried out in collaboration with local organizations and associations, and the project's progress is monitored through the use of indicators, such as the number of linked participants and people with disabilities and victims who attended workshops. The project's implementation has been affected by various factors, including the postponement of activities in some cities, and the need to reschedule workshops. However, the project's activities have contributed to the achievement of its objectives, including the strengthening of local organizations and associations for the empowerment of PWD prioritizing victims of the armed conflict. The project's progress is monitored through the use of indicators, and the project's activities are tracked using a tracking table. The project's budget lines include relations with local partners, travel and transportation, personal salaries, and other direct costs.
