Team members from the PAM Barometer Initiative team present key findings from the sixth report.

The Kroc Institute’s sixth comprehensive report, covering the period from December 2020 through November 2021, provides a quantitative and qualitative overview of the status of Agreement implementation; presents a comparative analysis to enrich dialogue around this process; highlights milestones achieved and obstacles faced during this fifth year; and identifies key opportunities for continuing to advance toward comprehensive peace accord implementation.

The Colombian Peace Agreement gives the Kroc Institute primary responsibility for technical support and monitoring of accord implementation through the Peace Accords Matrix’s (PAM) Barometer Initiative. Understanding the Accord as an integral and comprehensive text, the Institute has monitored the implementation of 578 stipulations since 2016, with special attention to the implementation of intersectional approaches (gender, territorial and ethnic). Get a first look at the latest report and its independent, impartial, and academically-rigorous information.

December 1 marked the 5th anniversary of implementation of the peace agreement between the Colombian government and the former FARC-EP that ended the country’s deadly 52 year armed conflict.

Since 2016, the University of Notre Dame’s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies has been tasked with primary responsibility for technical verification and monitoring implementation of the accord through the Peace Accords Matrix (PAM) Barometer Initiative. PAM monitors implementation of 578 stipulations contained in the text of the Final Accord.

Recognizing this important milestone, the Kroc Institute presented key findings from their special report assessing implementation five years after the Final Agreement to End the Armed Conflict and Build a Stable and Lasting Peace was signed.

In 2020, the Colombian Peace Agreement faced many challenges, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; intensifying violent confrontations in some territories; and continuous attacks against the life and integrity of social leaders, human right defenders, and individuals in the process of reincorporation. However, even in the midst of these challenges, the fourth year of implementation also brought new opportunities in the territories where numerous leaders formulated municipal and departmental development plans in line with the Final Agreement. Implementation of the Agreement has continued, and it is more important than ever to build ownership in the peace process among Colombian citizens and institutions across the country.

The Kroc Institute’s fifth comprehensive report, covering the period from December 2019 through November 2020, provides a quantitative and qualitative overview of the status of Agreement implementation; presents a comparative analysis to enrich dialogue around this process; highlights milestones achieved and obstacles faced; and identifies key opportunities for continuing to advance toward comprehensive peace accord implementation.
