Análisis de Educación Sensible al Conflicto en Colombia y Ecuador
Country: Colombia
Organization: Norwegian Refugee Council
Closing date: 26 Sep 2025
ANTECEDENTES
Contexto de la organización
El Consejo Noruego para Refugiados (NRC) es una organización no gubernamental internacional, de carácter independiente y humanitario fundada en 1946. La sede principal se encuentra en Oslo y la organización actualmente opera en más de 30 países a nivel mundial. Desde 1991, NRC mantiene una operación en Colombia que cubre ampliamente la geografía del país, trabajando con poblaciones en desplazamiento interno, y – más recientemente – con población en situación de movilidad humana.
NRC actúa con el fin de promover y proteger los derechos de la población desplazada internamente y en necesidad de protección internacional, orienta su trabajo a la provisión de asistencia humanitaria y la búsqueda de soluciones duraderas a través de acciones de incidencia y la ejecución de programas institucionales sobre educación, asistencia legal, alojamiento e infraestructura, agua, saneamiento e higiene, medios de vida y seguridad alimentaria y protección/gestión de campamentos.

Antecedentes de la Educación sensible al conflicto en NRC
En NRC, las orientaciones sobre Programación Segura e Inclusiva (SIP por sus siglas en inglés) llaman a realizar un análisis sensible al conflicto como parte del desarrollo y la revisión de la estrategia de educación. Un análisis de la competencia de educación realizado en 2025 revela y prioriza el análisis sensible al conflicto como fundamental para el desarrollo desde el apoyo a las acciones anticipatorias hasta la contribución a la construcción de soluciones duraderas. En contextos frágiles como el de Ecuador, el análisis sensible al conflicto permite entender los impactos de la violencia armada y urbana.
La Red Interagencial para la Educación en Situaciones de Emergencia (INEE por sus siglas en inglés) y otras organizaciones internacionales destacan que hay algunos puntos clave para entender la sensibilidad al conflicto, un concepto surgido en 1994 después del genocidio de Ruanda, cuando se observó que las intervenciones de ayuda podían tener efectos secundarios no deseados o negativos. Los puntos clave son: (1) la sensibilidad al conflicto es una norma de todo el sector anclada en el principio de no hacer daño; (2) los marcos globales, los donantes y los actores de la sociedad civil consideran la sensibilidad al conflicto como una mejor práctica; (3) la sensibilidad al conflicto se alinea con el triple nexo; y (4) la sensibilidad al conflicto generalmente significa la capacidad de actuar sobre la comprensión del contexto para prevenir la acción con daño. En suma, la educación puede tanto contribuir al conflicto como ser una herramienta para la paz.
En Colombia, Mera (2013) reconoce que las intervenciones de desarrollo pueden hacer daño y tener un efecto negativo en el conflicto, lo que hace necesario un análisis pormenorizado para mitigar los impactos. La literatura académica y la sistematización de lecciones aprendidas de diversas experiencias humanitarias reconocen que las organizaciones con mandato humanitario pueden exacerbar la dinámica del conflicto y por ello se requiere de una acción intencionada de sensibilidad al conflicto durante todo el ciclo de proyecto.
ALCANCE DEL SERVICIO O CONSULTORIA
Resultado Esperado de la Consultoría
Al final de la consultoría, NRC tendrá una línea base sobre dónde se ubican sus actuaciones en educación en emergencias respecto al espectro de sensibilidad al conflicto, un plan de mejora para que sus actuaciones sean sensibles al conflicto durante todo el ciclo de proyectos, y unos lineamientos para la aplicación del enfoque en el contexto de Colombia y Ecuador.
Alcance
El/la consultor/a trabajará con la Especialista de Educación y en consulta con las áreas para lo siguiente:
Realizar una revisión documental de una muestra aleatoria de las iniciativas desarrolladas por NRC en Colombia y Ecuador entre 2020-2025 para analizar e identificar críticamente (1) cómo NRC realizó un análisis del conflicto, (2) cómo realizó el análisis de los riesgos vinculados a su acción, (3) cómo potencialmente reprodujo o transformó dinámicas asociadas con el conflicto, (4) cómo buscó transformar las interacciones entre las causas y los efectos identificados en sus teorías de cambio, (5) qué espacios y/o mecanismos utilizó para reflexionar sobre las lecciones aprendidas y (6) cómo se ubican las intervenciones de NRC en el espectro de sensibilidad al conflicto (desde ciego al conflicto a sensible al conflicto). La línea base además identificará si inintencionalmente algún grupo resultó más favorecido que otro (Principio 2 de orientación de la INEE).
Realizar un análisis que considere las siguientes dimensiones:
Identificación de cualesquiera efectos secundarios no deseados o negativos puedan haber surgido de las acciones de NRC en el periodo 2020-2025 en Colombia y Ecuador.
Análisis actual, de tendencia y prospectivo de la situación de conflicto armado (Colombia) y violencia armada (Ecuador) y su impacto en el sector educación. El análisis debe considerar cómo el conflicto afecta la educación y como la educación puede contribuir al conflicto (Principio 1 de orientación de la INEE).
Análisis de cómo las intervenciones de NRC buscan estabilizar, fortalecer o contribuir al sistema educativo (Principio 5 de la INEE)
Análisis del entorno de políticas públicas y respuesta gubernamental a las situaciones de conflicto armado y violencia en Colombia y Ecuador respectivamente. Analizar cómo lasiniciativas propuestas por NRC interactúan con las respuestas del Estado.
Análisis crítico de cómo las iniciativas propuestas por NRC interactúan con las causas y manifestaciones del conflicto. Este análisis identificará tanto los riesgos de exacerbar el conflicto o la violencia y las oportunidades de transformarlo a lo largo del ciclo de proyecto.
Identificación de si los proyectos e intervenciones en primera línea realizados por NRC reflejan o perpetúan inequidades sociales, culturales y/o de género (según Principios 2 y 4 de la INEE).
Identificación de la manera en la que las intervenciones de NRC enfocan la seguridad escolar, estudiantil y de los/as docentes, la protección contra el abuso y la explotación. Esto incluye la educación respecto a minas antipersonales y artefactos explosivos sin detonar, la prevención del reclutamiento y la prevención de los ataques contra la educación (Principio 3 de la INEE).
Análisis crítico de cómo las intervenciones de NRC actúan de manera ágil para responder al cambio y contribuir con el ecosistema educativo más allá del corto plazo (Principio 6 de la INEE).
Elaborar un plan de mejora con recomendaciones para que las actuaciones de NRC se adhieran a los estándares de una programación en educación sensible al conflicto. Dicho plan de mejora deberá incluir alguna herramienta (guía, lineamientos o checklist) para su aplicación en el contexto de Colombia y Ecuador.
