It focuses on the recent challenges in Colombia after the cessation of one of the longest conflicts in recent history. Referring to studies, programmes, policies and legal frameworks, the chapter explains how psychosocial disability is viewed and supported in the Colombia. Peace, equality and education are the key pillars established by the current government, and they are in harmony with the implementation of the SDGs, along with effective responsibility and social commitment.
