   2. Integrate the methodology into the task, including training of the team.
   3. Work closely with the Information Management Unit in the collection and analysis of relevant data with the involvement of other sectoral departments.
2. Contribute to humanitarian advocacy initiatives, in particular on the impact of violence and restrictive measures on humanitarian action in Colombia.
