Strengthened response to Venezuelan migration crisis in Peru
The political, human rights and socio-economic situation in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela have led to the outflow of over 5.1 million Venezuelans into neighbouring countries and beyond. Peru is the second largest country of arrival and as of September 2020, hosts 1.04 million refugees and migrants from Venezuela.
This project aims to strengthen the capacity of the Peruvian government regarding humanitarian assistance to reduce the suffering and vulnerability, and to support durable solution initiatives, as well as facilitate the integration and transition to community stabilisation. The project will benefit both the vulnerable refugees and migrants from Venezuela and host communities, within the pandemic context.
This project will be achieved through the following components:
1. Provide coordinated humanitarian assistance
2. Improve social Infrastructure at the local level
3. Integration, through productive income generation to achieve durable solutions
1. Refugees and migrants from Venezuela (women, men, girls and boys) report improved access to basic needs services.
2. National and local Governments have improved response capacities to provide assistance and services to refugees and migrants from Venezuela.
3. Livelihoods and durable solutions for refugees and migrants from Venezuela are enhanced.
This activity is deemed ODA-eligible. The activity is focused on supporting migrants and refugees from Venezuela (humanitarian assistance, integration) as well as their host communities in Peru (improved response to provide assistance). This activity complies with Principles 1 and 3 given its primary focus on the promotion of economic development and welfare of developing countries.
