The year 2000 marked a turning point in the dynamic of the armed conflict and its manifestations for Nariño as a result of intense fumigations of coca crops undertaken by the Government in the neighboring department of Putumayo within the framework of Plan Colombia, caused illicit crops moved to Nariño, especially to the Pacific coast, bringing with it an increase in the presence of armed actors (guerrillas and paramilitaries) and war actions. In this context on January 15, 2002 four young men and women economists of the University of Nariño committed to the ideal of social change, decided to create the Development and Peace Foundation, FUNDEPAZ as a response to the harmful consequences of the increased armed conflict on the civil population: increase in human rights violations, mass displacements of people, increase of poverty, etc.
