About DRC
The Danish Refugee Council/Danish Demining Group (DRC/DDG) is one of the world’s leading humanitarian NGOs, working in more than 40 countries to provide adequate assistance with a rights-based approach to refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, returnees and migrants.
DRC/DDG has been present in Colombia since 2011, and in 2018 it began to upscale its operations due to large influx of migrants and refugees from Venezuela. DRC is currently implementing a protection focused humanitarian response financed by OFDA/BHA, ECHO, UNHCR and IOM in four cities in Colombia (Riohacha, Barranquilla, Medellin and Bogota). DRC´s protection programming includes protection monitoring, legal aid, MPCA, community-based protection, case management and GBV prevention and response. DRC also co-leads the national protection working group of the Interagency Group on Mixed Migration Flows (GIFMM by its Spanish acronym).
