A view of indigenous children from the Embera people, displaced by armed conflict. There are over two million internally displaced persons in Colombia and while forced displacement is always a very difficult experience, it is doubly catastrophic for indigenous communities.

Caption Description Under the leadership of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), five United Nations agencies (ILO, UNTAA, UNESCO, FAO, WHO) are participating in a long-range plan which will aid local populations and better integrate them into the social and economic growth of the country. Experts working with the Government of Bolivia are preparing the indigenous population in some areas for the change which will eventually mean the movement of families from arid zones to the more fertile lowlands of Bolivia.
