CONSORNOC

What CONSORNOC does

CONSORNOC (Corporación Nueva Sociedad de la Región Nororiental de Colombia) is a Colombian nonprofit civil society organization founded in 1999 and headquartered in Pamplona, Norte de Santander, with a regional office in Cúcuta. The organization implements integral, solidarity-based, and sustainable human development programs through the Programs of Development and Peace (PDP) framework, serving rural producer families, youth, female-headed households, displaced and migrant populations, and municipal government partners across municipalities including Pamplona, Toledo, Cácota, Bochalema, Arboledas, Tibú, and El Tarra in the Catatumbo subregion.

The organization's work is delivered through field implementation and institutional partnerships rather than commercial products. Active programs include the GIZ-funded 'Ambientes seguros y protectores' safe-environments initiative in coordination with OIM's migration and health programming, the Impulso Juvenil youth leadership track, the 'Kaa' ancestral house cultural-preservation project, and the RedConcerto social-organization strengthening network in Catatumbo. Outputs are programmatic rather than technological: educational publications, psychosocial toolboxes, protection manuals, leadership guides, and psychological first aid materials. The approximately 15-person professional team spans psychology, social work, environmental engineering, communications, zootecnia, and legal affairs.

Financially, CONSORNOC operates on a project-grant model funded by international development cooperation (GIZ, OIM), national PDP networks (RedPRODEPAZ), municipal governments, and private partners such as ISA Energía, with no commercial revenue, no pricing structure, and no disclosed financials. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors presided over by the Archbishop of Nueva Pamplona, with leadership transitioning in April 2026 from Pbro. Juan Carlos Rodríguez to Pbro. Germán Omar Hernández Pinto.
