Internal displacement in Colombia has
become more prevalent and serious. Expulsion of land users
to gain territorial control is increasingly a tactical
element in the conflict. High land inequality makes it
easier to uproot populations. Providing assistance to
displaced populations does not reduce their propensity to
return. Together with other measures, a land policy that
increases tenure security for those at risk of displacement,
and improves access to land, can not only help to reduce the
incidence of displacement, but also make it easier for the
displaced to cope. Public spending, especially on education,
is also critical.
