Based on the needs assessment and building on NorCross’ and CRC’s previous engagement in the municipality, Tumaco was identified as a priority area. Initially, the project had three components: health, awareness, and institutional coordination, in addition to capacity-building of the CRC. Income-generation was later included as an additional component to support survivors.
