ICIP extends collaboration with Bogotá Chamber of Commerce

ICIP and the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce have extended their collaboration agreement until October 2015. The aim of this agreement is to design methodological proposals that identify expectations and interests of the private sector in a post-conflict scenario in Colombia. As a result of this agreement, in force since 2013, ICIP has recently participated in various activities in the Latin American country related to the analysis of the peace process. Worth noting, for example, is the participation of ICIP president Rafael Grasa in the forum Truth, Forgiveness and Reconciliation: A Road for Peace in Colombia; in the Business for Peace initiative; and in the 4th Social Responsibility Congress of El Nogal Foundation, entitled Peace and Reconciliation in the Territories.
Another result of the collaboration between ICIP and the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce is the publication of the Guía para la construcción de la paz. Qué es y qué supone la construcción de la paz, by Rafael Grasa and Óscar Mateos. This publication was presented in the 4th Congress of the Global Compact Network Colombia, Architects for a Better World.
With the intention of following the evolution of the peace process in Colombia, ICIP also has collaboration agreements with the War College (Escuela Superior de Guerra), the Mayor’s Office of Medellín and the Colombian Federation of Municipalities.
