The director of the Victims Unit, Lilia Solano, assured that these achievements were possible thanks to the allocation of greater resources and the implementation of specific actions to overcome the vulnerability in which these people find themselves, and who number almost 10 million persons, according to the Single Registry of Victims (RUV).

Solano added that the institution is working on several processes, including helping ethnic peoples, who have historically been the most affected.

One of the utmost achievements is the progress in individual reparation, which in these two years represents an increase of more than 70 percent, compared to the previous period, which is equivalent to 49 percent of the goal established in the National Plan of Development, which plans to compensate 600 thousand victims.

The Government also included 125 Collective Subjects in the RUV, facilitating their access to reparation for the damages suffered as a community during the armed conflict.

In addition, the collective compensation of 44 Ethnic Subjects has been achieved, with an investment close to 22 billion pesos, about five million 500 thousand dollars at the current exchange rate.
