Building Sustainable Peace Through Collaboration

What We Do

Collaboration Systems

PASO COLOMBIA underwrites the costs of identifying and supporting coalitions composed of participants from the public, private and social sectors to make collaboration on all aspects of peace stronger, more trustworthy, and valuable.

Colombia Sustainable Peace

Information Systems
