[Emisoras de paz]

Génesis Natalia Tobón, José Alberto Cubillos, Juan Pablo Madrid-Malo, M. Sofía Luna

Páginas para la Libertad de Expresión (FLIP, Colombia), issue 7 (2023), 20 pp.

"Las emisoras de paz se encuentran en un punto de quiebre. Esta esperanzadora política de Estado, que se empezó a implementar como una estrategia de reconciliación hace siete años, después de la firma del Acuerdo de Paz, está enfrentando retos profundos, como las amenazas en contra de las emis ... oras que están en funcionamiento y la incertidumbre sobre su sostenibilidad a largo plazo. En 2016, con el Acuerdo de Paz entre el Gobierno Nacional y las Farc-EP, las partes acordaron la creación de veinte estaciones radiales en diferentes municipios que resultaban estratégicos para fomentar la convivencia y la reconciliación. Estas emisoras están bajo la dirección del Sistema de Medios Públicos RTVC y la primera emisora se inauguró en Chaparral, en Tolima, el 25 de junio de 2019. Actualmente, operan dieciséis y se estima que las cuatro restantes comiencen a funcionar en el primer semestre del 2024. Comunicar la paz en un país inmerso en un nuevo capítulo de conflictos territoriales ha presentado desafíos para las y los periodistas. Hablar de iniciativas de paz, de las iniciativas de las comunidades o denunciar la presencia de nuevos grupos supone riesgos e implica que estas emisoras también estén constantemente en la mira. Ante la ausencia de garantías de protección y seguridad, las estrategias que se han empleado son defensivas, como el silenciamiento selectivo de temas y la cautela en sus desplazamientos por los municipios. Esto ha implicado dejar de hablar de ciertos asuntos, cancelar espacios informativos o tener que acudir a la fuerza a encuentros con grupos armados. A esto se suman los señalamientos de funcionarios públicos o figuras políticas hacia las voces que controvierte el poder, la impunidad que empaña la justicia y el impacto psicológico y emocional de trabajar en contextos violentos. Las emisoras de paz se han convertido en un laboratorio para la comunicación y el periodismo y su corta experiencia constata que la reconstrucción de la paz pasa por un cambio en la forma en que se relata y se vive en las regiones. Sin embargo, para que estos proyectos continúen aportando a la reconstrucción del tejido social, es necesario un mayor respaldo y fortalecimiento gubernamental, el diseño de protocolos de seguridad, medidas de autoprotección y la preservación a largo plazo de estos espacios."

Performance Evaluation of USAID/Colombia Programa De Alianzas Para La Reconciliación

Olga Nazario, William Orlando Prieto, Juan Camilo Rivera

USAID; Inc Democracy International (2021), vii, 26 pp.

"Colombia’s history of violence and armed conflict has eroded people’s trust in each other and trust, which ranks low among the components that Colombians consider important for reconciliation, is difficult to restore during the course of a project. Still, the Program of Alliances for Reconcilia ... tion (PAR) has achieved changes in perception that represent an important component in changing mindset that could eventually extend through the communities where participants live and work. Though implementers recognized positive effects on perceptions of reconciliation among participants, these further effects in communities may only be visible among non-participant indirect beneficiaries. Similarly, though PAR participants overwhelmingly reported positive effects of PAR participation on their behavior and some drivers of reconciliation, examples were limited to their personal thoughts and actions and not those of their communities. Without a baseline for comparison, the degree of shifts in attitudes and behaviors cannot be determined, but indications of changes in attitude paired with reporting of ongoing participation and continued use of skills indicate participants remain changed, at least in the short term, by their participation in PAR activities. DecidoSer workshops and the Ambassadors for Reconciliation initiatives are successful tools that provide the opportunity to identify lessons learned and good practices in the management of community changes beyond individual changes. DecidoSer is valuable not just for participants, but implementers (who are themselves members of communities whose contributions to reconciliation are worthwhile and necessary) as well, and the changes in trust and dialogue that contributed to improved business practices are a positive (and perhaps unexpected) result. Respondents generally saw the conceptual benefits of both DecidoSer and Ambassadors for Reconciliation for sustainability of reconciliation, though without specific evidence for believing this, or enough time to demonstrate it. Contrary to the notion that multi-sectoral relationships within a community might contribute to sustainability, the evaluation team did not find evidence of a correlation between PAR’s activities in a community and long-term engagement with other community actors."
