Coordinador/a de Caracterización de Población Desplazada en Honduras 129

Tiempo completo Francisco Morazán octubre 19, 2017 – octubre 25, 2017 Consultorías Imprimir

Nombre de la organización

Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados (ACNUR)

Descripción de la plaza vacante

1. Antecedentes generales del proyecto/asignación

Como respuesta al desplazamiento en Honduras, el Gobierno del país creó, a finales del 2013, la Comisión Interinstitucional para la Protección de Personas Desplazadas por la Violencia. Dicha Comisión lideró, en 2014, con el apoyo técnico del ACNUR y de JIPS, el desarrollo de un Estudio de Caracterización sobre el Desplazamiento Interno en Honduras. El estudio generó una primera aproximación al desplazamiento interno, identificando las dimensiones y rasgos del fenómeno en 20 municipios prioritarios en Honduras. De igual forma, permitió identificar las particulares afectaciones y necesidades de protección de las víctimas.

Sobre la base del estudio de 2014, el ejercicio actual busca actualizar la información y ampliar su magnitud para identificar características del desplazamiento representativas a nivel nacional, y no sólo al nivel de los 20 municipios prioritarios de 2014. Lo anterior en razón del aumento de cifras de población en busca de protección, de los desplazamientos masivos y/o de personas que abandonan el país debido a la violencia y la inseguridad – muchos de ellos siendo deportados de regreso al país.

De otra parte, en la actualidad el marco legal sobre desplazamiento interno en Honduras se encuentra en construcción y se estima que será presentado al Congreso Nacional en el 2017. Dicha legislación da el mandato para la implementación de política pública en desplazamiento a nivel central y local, lo cual requiere de información actualizada sobre los perfiles y características de la población desplazada. Los resultados del ejercicio de caracterización beneficiarán a todas las entidades estatales responsables del diseño de polìticas pùblicas, programas y proyectos para la respuesta efectiva a las personas deplazadas por la violencia. Tambien a las organizaciones de sociedad civil y organizaciones de la comunidad internacional que han incluido o van a incluir a esta poblacion en el diseño de sus estrategias de apoyo al país.

De manera general, el ejercicio 2017-2018 busca actualizar la caracterización de población desplazada desarrollada en 2014-2015 y ampliar la comprension sobre la magnitud del problema y así mismo la identificación del impacto de la violencia y el desplazamiento en el país.
