REVISES PROGRAM TO FOCUS ON LONG-TERM STABILITY 
 
------- 
Summary 
------- 
 
1.  (SBU) The High Commissioner for Reintegration's Office 
(HCR)--which replaced the Reinsertion Program managed by the 
Minister of Interior and Justice last September--has changed 
the process to improve its effectiveness.  The changes extend 
the program's educational and employment services--as well as 
the monthly stipend received by demobilized 
paramilitaries--and increase its rural coverage.  The HCR has 
also imposed stricter monitoring as well as a requirement 
that each demobilized commit to individual study or work 
programs.  HCR is also creating new job search services, 
incentive structures, education and health care programs, and 
micro-credit projects to speed reintegration into society. 
Of the 31,000 demobilized paramilitaries, the program has so 
far re-registered over 22,000.    End summary. 
 
------------------------------------------ 
For Long-term Stability and Sustainability 
------------------------------------------ 
 
2.  (SBU) Spurred by concerns that its previous system was 
encouraging dependency and threatening the reinsertion 
program's longterm success, the High Commissioner for 
Reintegration's Office (HCR)--which replaced the Reinsertion 
Program managed by the Minister of Interior and Justice--is 
making changes to guarantee the process' long-term stability. 
 HCR Adviser Maria Eugenia Pinto told us HCR has modified its 
programs since its creation in September 2006 to extend 
services to all demobilized paramilitaries beyond the 18-24 
month timeframe originally planned.  Each person will be 
under strict monitoring and commitment to an individualized 
"reintegration route" and job search program. 
 
3.  (SBU) Pinto said the HCR deployed re-registration 
brigades throughout the country to explain the changes and 
obtain a commitment from the demobilized to participate and 
provide updated contact information.  Of 31,000 paramilitary 
members demobilized, the program has re-registered over 
22,000.  In addition, the program will expanded to include 
11,000 individual deserters from illegal armed groups.  The 
HCR has already identified 5,000 individual deserters 
eligible for HCR services through the registration process. 
 
4. (SBU) Pinto said HCR shifted 85 percent of its personnel 
to the rural regions (previously 37 percent were in regions) 
and reduced operating costs by 20 percent while increasing 
national coverage.  HCR increased its number of Service 
Centers from 11 to 29 (28 permanent and 1 mobile), with a new 
emphasis on psycho-social assistance.  HCR also hired 221 
psychologists--1 per 120 persons--to provide support and 
field monitoring for each individual's reintegration program. 
 
----------------------------------------- 
Education and Healthcare Access Essential 
----------------------------------------- 
 
4.  (SBU) The new program offers educational alternatives 
tailored to each individual's skills to prepare him/her to 
enter the workforce.  Pinto said HCR has been able to obtain 
30,000 new spaces for basic and high school education, and 
made arrangements with 87 educational centers to offer space 
to the demobilized for higher education.  HCR also designed a 
scholarship fund to encourage higher education.  Pinto said 
the reinsertion program previously had to deal with multiple 
healthcare agencies, but now uses one healthcare provider 
(Caprecom) greatly increasing efficiency and lowering costs. 
More than 73,000 demobilized persons and their family 
members--84 percent of the demobilized population--use the 
new provider. 
 
--------------------------------------------- 
From Financial Dependency to Self-Sufficiency 
--------------------------------------------- 
 
 
5.  (SBU) High Commissioner for Reintegration Frank Pearl 
said the main obstacle to reintegration is not a lack of 
jobs, but demobilized paramilitaries' unwillingness to 
transition into the legal work force.  He has been reaching 
out to private firms for job opportunities, but found the 
pool of "ready" candidates small.  Pinto said the old focus 
on the monthly stipend fostered dependency.  In contrast, the 
new program creates incentives for the demobilized to work. 
HCR cut the basic stipend from COP 350,000 (USD 150) to COP 
150,000 (USD 75) a month, and added non-monetary assistance 
such as food stamps.  It also offers financial rewards for 
study and work, up to a maximum of COP 400,000 (USD 200), for 
those that show extra effort to reintegrate.  After several 
notable failures, HCR is reevaluating all micro-credit 
applications for individual and associative income-generation 
projects to ensure they are market-driven and technically 
sound enough to warrant private sector support. 
 
------------------------------- 
Income Generation Opportunities 
------------------------------- 
 
6.  (SBU) HCR has made alliances with the private sector to 
provide technical assistance for all new productive projects 
through a "Bank of Business Professionals," a sort of 
"Business Big Brother" program.  In the program, the private 
sector can invest in projects, support continued education 
through a Social Investment Fund (SIF) used for seed grants, 
or invest in scholarships for higher education.  Thus far, 
the HCR has received support from the Gates Foundation and 
from numerous Colombian and multinational companies.  HCR has 
also created two additional funds: a micro-credit fund 
requiring more accountability from the demobilized, and a 
"peace-building fund" for infrastructure projects.  Pinto 
said these new initiatives are designed to meet longer-term 
goals of "reintegration" rather than immediate relief.
