The U.S. government has announced a "new migration process for the entry of Venezuelans", which has been called the "Process for Venezuelans". It is important that all teams and people working in the field are aware of this new measure in order to advise and guide Venezuelans who may have questions on this topic. For this reason, we share the following key messages, which may be useful in communicating with Venezuelan refugees and migrants.
On 12 October 2022, the U.S. government announced a “New Migration Process for Venezuelans”, with an enforcement element and a ‘safe pathways’ element. This announcement was followed by the pre-publication of a notice in the Federal Register on October 18 that provides more information on the ‘safe pathways’ element, namely a parole process for Venezuelans. The purpose of this document is to explain what is known, and what is not yet known, about this new U.S. policy as it relates to the treatment of Venezuelans at the U.S.-Mexico border and in the region.
Evaluación del panorama de información de protección en América latina (2021-2022)
Since 2018, the R4V Platform has issued annual Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plans (RMRP), highlighting the needs of vulnerable population groups as well as the response strategies of the various Platform and sector groups, including a complete review following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Building on valuable feedback from stakeholders, during the planning process in 2022, the R4V Platform decided to separate the RMRP into two documents: (i) the Refugee and Migrant Needs Analysis (RMNA), which highlights the needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela, while (ii) the RMRP will highlight the response strategy. The RMNA includes multistakeholder and sectoral analyses by Platforms and Sectors at all levels of the response (regional, national, and sub-regional). These include, at minimum, a JNA Workshop and a secondary data review with R4V partners and host country governments, as well as primary data collection exercises, focus group discussions and/or key informant interviews, based on the information needs and dynamics of each Platform.
