Event dynamics

The workshop was divided into two main parts. During the first part, in a hybrid format, current priorities of the Colombian government and IKI Germany were presented. In this context, the exchange between the national level and the implementers was strengthened, sharing successes and challenges in the implementation of the projects.

The afternoon session was held in a face-to-face format in Bogota. Experiences and lessons learned were exchanged among the IKI projects implemented in Colombia. On this occasion, thematic tables and networking spaces were created to identify possible synergies.
