Seguimiento y control de proyectos de gestión del riesgo del Fondo Adaptación - Ministerio de Hacienda sede Bogotá D.C

Abstract

Disaster risk, defined as “potential damage or losses that may occur due to dangerous physical events of natural, socio-natural, technological, or unintentional human origin” (Law No. 1523, 2012), is an inherent condition of the human being, which has become one of the most important aspects to take into account when thinking about the economic, social and environmental development of populations; especially in countries where communities have been widely affected by extreme weather events; thus constituting one of the biggest problems that current governments face in terms of the well-being and quality of life of their inhabitants. In Colombia, the floods recorded between 2010 and 2011 caused by the La Niña phenomenon marked an important milestone that brought with it a series of measures and improvement actions that sought to address emergency events and natural disasters that could occur. occur due to climate variability; among them, the creation of the Adaptation Fund, an entity whose main objective is to restore the living conditions of the populations that were affected by disaster events, as well as to contribute to the National Disaster Risk Management Unit to reduce the risk and adaptation to climate change through planes and projects. It is for this reason that this internship was carried out at the Adaptation Fund, an entity attached to the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit; with the objective of strengthening the projects developed by the entity with regard to their monitoring and control, thus contributing with the knowledge and skills of the environmental administrator regarding the integration of environmental and administrative sciences for the management of projects in response to the current problems.
