The Procuraduría General de la Nación represents the
citizens before the State. It currently has around 3,400
employees and its mission is to oversee the procedures of the
State, abiding by the laws and the functions it has according to
the 1991 Political Constitution. Its main three goals are: 1.
Preventive function: this goal is directed towards
"alerting" instead of "punishing", watching
over government employees. 2. Intervention function: this is
oriented towards defending the rights on behalf of any Colombian
authority (religious, military, governmental, judiciary, police,
civil, agricultural or any other kind). 3. Disciplinary function:
this goal is focused on the sanctions carried out by violations
of one or multiple individuals who, in office, have carried out
improper activities as government officials.
The flag is the logo with the Colombian Coat of Arms (without the
motto) on white background.

The Procuraduría General de la Nación (Advocate General of the Nation) has a variant official flag, which is the same horizontal background flag with the logo and the name of the entity, as seen in this picture:

On October 21, 2021 the organization announced the rebranding of their flag.
In the institutional video showing the official flag display, the current head
of the organization mentioned that the middle stripe keeps the tradition between
the old organization (referring to the previous green flag).

Notice there's a slight difference in color tone regarding the middle
blue stripe (it is more sky blue in the picture while it looks more greener
in the video).

This is the flag of Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil
(Civil State National Registry). Official website at www.registraduria.gov.co.
This government body is in charge of registering all civilians,
give them their ID's, pass laws regarding these subjects to
Congress, classify and file these information, and also manage
the Consejo Nacional Electoral (National Election Council,
abbreviated CNE, official website at www.cne.gov.co). At the
same time the CNE is in charge of all matters
related to the election process in Colombia. The flag of the
Registraduría (as it is commonly known), is a green over white
flag (internal ratio 1:1) , pretty much like the flag of the Department of La Guajira, but
the shade of green resembles more that of the flag of the Department of Antioquia, plus
the Coat of Arms on the center.

On August 6, 2008, in a news broadcast by local channel
RCN an
additional flag of the Civil State
National Registry was seen. The flag is the same as the one reported previously,
the only difference being that this variant has the name of the government
organization below the coat of arms, as "REGISTRADURIA" on black capital letters, and in
smaller capital letters "NACIONAL DEL ESTADO CIVIL" in black as well.

There is one more difference, namely that the order of stripes. Flag reported
previously is green over white, but flag on attached
picture seems to be white over green.

The SENA flag is the logo on white background. The logo is
composed of a cogwheel (which symbolizes the industry as an
economic sector, a caduceus, which stands for commerce and the
coffee grain, which represents the primary or agricultural
sector). The logo can be seen here
and the flag can be seen here.
The SENA is an institution which focuses on the development of
professional education programs with the aim of achieving social
development in Colombia and to promote employment through
alliances with companies.
The SENA was established by Decree No. 118 of June 21, 1957,
during the government of the Military Junta of General Gustavo
Rojas Pinilla and currently has branches in all the 32
Departments of Colombia.

The
SINPAD (or SNPAD) (Sistema Nacional para la Prevención y Atención
de Desastres) (National System for the Prevention and Attention of
Disasters), established in 1988 was
adopted as the Plataforma Nacional (National Platform) for the
reduction of disaster risk, according to UNISDR (United Nations Office
for Disaster Risk Reduction) guidelines, before the conference
World
Conference on Disaster Reduction in Kobe in 2005. The
DGPAD is the
coordinating office for the implementation of the SNPAD and it
operates supported on two committees:
1. Comité Técnico Nacional (National Technical Committee), which are
the different committees and agencies (public, private and civilian)
within each Ministry, in charge of the prevention and handling of
disasters and there are also specific technical commissions (offices)
in charge of specific risks, such as the SIGPAD (Sistema Nacional de
Información para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres, National
Information System for the Management of Disasters Risk) (official
website), RSNC (Red Sismológica Nacional
de Colombia, Colombian National Seismic Network) (official website), SIRH (Sistema de Información del
Recurso Hídrico, Hidraulic Resource Information System (official
website), SIAC (Sistema de Información Ambiental para Colombia, Environmental
Information System for Colombia) (official website, SISAIRE (Sistema de Información de Calidad
del Aire, Air Quality Information System) (official website), SIIF (Sistema Integrado de Información
Financiera, Financial Information Integrated System) (official
website), SIAT-AC
(Sistema de Información Ambiental Territorial-Amazonía Colombiana,
Territorial Environmental Information System-Colombian Amazon)
(official website), CCE (Comisión Colombiana del
Espacio, Space Colombian Commission) (official website) and IDEAM (Instituto de Hidrología,
Metereología y Estudios Ambientales, Hidraulics, Meteorology and
Environmental Studies Institute) (official website)
2. Comité Operativo Nacional (National Operational Committee), which
is executed by the
Defensa Civil.
The actions are coordinated through Comités Regionales (CREPAD's,
Comités Regionales de Prevención y Atención de Desastres, Regional
Committees on Prevention and Handling of Disasters) and Comités
Locales (CLOPAD's, Comités Locales de Prevención y Atención de
Desastres, Local Committees on Prevention and Handling of Disasters).

The SNPAD evolves into the SNGRD (Sistema Nacional de Gestión del
Riesgo de Desastres, Disaster Risk Management National System),
established by Law 1523 of April 24, 2012 and in turn, the
DGPAD evolves into
the UNGRD (Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres,
Disaster Risk Management National Unit) through Decree No. 4147 of
November 3, 2011). The SNIGRD (Sistema Nacional de Información para la
Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres, Disaster Risk Management National
Information System) is the actual materialization of all this
framework of cooperation and coordination that the SNGRD comprises.

There's photographic evidence that two flags exist regarding this
topic (that is the SNGRD and the UNGRD), which suggests that the SNGRD
(which used to be called SNPAD) has also its own flag even though it
is not an organization per se, which features this
logo on a
blue horizontal flag, as seen in
this picture in which the
blue flag is seen, along with the
UNGRD flag (on the right).

name is UAEAC, or Unidad Administrativa Especial Aeronáutica
Civil, or Special Administrative Unit Civil Aeronautics, usually
shortened Aeronáutica Civil or Aerocivil - official website:

Variant of flag
Yesterday I saw an alternate flag of Aeronáutica Civil. The flag has the same
color structure, the only difference being that around the logo it reads in
golden capital letters REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA and below it reads in golden
capital letters AERONÁUTICA CIVIL.
