Colombia has the highest number of people displaced by violence in the world. According to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHRC), in 2017, 7.7 million people were registered as being internally displaced. Forced migration as a result of displacement caused by armed conflict, in a context of weak protection of the rights of the victim population and low-income generation, represents a challenge for social development, which is limited by high levels of poverty and income concentration. In particular, the territorialisation of the peace agreements is currently still under construction with serious difficulties in the security systems of social leaders and in improving economic opportunities in both legal and formal ways to counteract the damaging effects of criminal economies that are associated with illegal mining and drug trafficking. The research, conducted from the forced migration approach, contributes to building strategies from different areas, mainly from the institutional and labour market, to reduce the obstacles to the reintegration of victims into civil society through a public policy built based on citizen participation. In this sense, governance processes with citizen participation are situated in security concepts that encompass the State’s obligation to offer better income opportunities in legal economies, of protection of human and democratic rights, and consolidation of transitional justice mechanisms, which are a priority in the advance toward sustainable peace.
