    Unequal land distribution and the
    negative social and economic implications resulting from
    such polarization in Colombia have long been of concern to
    policymakers. A 1950 World Bank mission identified unequal
    land distribution as a key impediment to economic and social
    development in the country. Since then, a wide range of
    policies has been adopted to deal with this issue and its
    consequences. Numerous studies show that the success of

    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,

    Based on a large survey to compare the
    effectiveness of land markets and land reform in Colombia,
    the authors find that rental and sales markets were more
    effective in transferring land to poor but productive
    producers than was administrative land reform. The fact that
    land transactions were all of a short-term nature and that
    little land was transferred from very large to small land
    owners or the landless suggests that there may be scope for

    The purpose of this note is to provide
    policy recommendations to improve access to credit of rural
    populations and small agricultural producers under
    financially sustainable schemes. Although the agricultural
    sector remains an important source of employment,
    agricultural credit is a small fraction of commercial credit
    in Colombia. The share of agricultural credit in Colombia is
    below levels observed in other countries in the region.

    Despite considerable progress in the
    area of environmental management over the last decade,
    Colombia still faces significant impacts from population
    exposure to urban air pollution, inadequate access to water
    supply and sanitation, and indoor air pollution from solid
    fuel use. This study estimates that the total health cost
    attributable to these three factors amounts to about 10.2
    trillion Colombian Pesos (COP) annually, or about 2 percent

    This paper studies the use of labor
    markets to mitigate the impact of violent shocks on
    households in rural areas in Colombia. It examines changes
    in the labor supply from on-farm to off-farm labor as a
    means of coping with the violent shock and the ensuing
    redistribution of time within households. It identifies the
    heterogeneous response by gender. Because the incidence of
    violent shocks is not exogenous, the analysis uses

    The objective of this analysis is to
    assess the state of progress of risk management in Colombia
    and propose recommendations to help the Government set
    public policy in the short-and long-term. For this reason,
    the study sought to: (i) establish the risk and impact of
    disasters in recent decades, (ii) identify legal,
    institutional and conceptual themes in the country, (iii)
    review the state and evolution of investment in risk

    The case studies documented in this
    report aim to inform the energy access community (including
    practitioners, civil society groups, project planners, end
    users) about best practices of successful energy access
    initiatives targeted at slum dwellers. Eight case studies
    focusing on electrification and household energy were
    selected from India, Bangladesh, Colombia and Brazil, all
    countries that have had varying success in providing access
