Program to Support Institutional Strengthening Operations and Activities for the Migration Agenda in Latin America and the Caribbean

implementation

Build the capacity of the countries of the region to handle both current and future migration flows. This Technical Cooperation (CT) seeks to: (i) expand knowledge about the effectiveness of migration policies and programs; (ii) promote dialogue on public policies and institutional response models to the migration phenomenon; and (iii) contribute to strengthening the institutional capacity of public entities on migration-related issues. To achieve these objectives, the CT will finance a program of individual technical cooperations (or subprojects) to support the design and execution of loan operations, as well as activities aimed at strengthening migration-related institutions or the provision of services to migrants in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Subprojects will prioritize topics such as: (i) socioeconomic inclusion; (ii) strategies against xenophobia based on information produced by IDB´s Perceptions Laboratory on Migration; (iii) combating the illicit trafficking of migrants; (iv) reintegration of returned migrants; (v) migration affected by climate change; (vi) labor migration and mobility; and (vii) the generation of data and knowledge products.
