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.
Special Situation Report on the “New Migration Process for Venezuelans” announced by the U.S. government, with a focus on Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico. The Special Situation Report provides information on the main needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela in the context the new Process and R4V partners’ responses. Access to reliable information on the scope and implications of the new Migration Process for Venezuelans and on viable options for affected refugees and migrants, as well as access to basic services, including shelter, WASH, food and basic medical assistance in border areas, continue to be the most critical needs identified by R4V partners.

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.

La respuesta a la crisis de protección ha supuesto un inmenso reto para todos los países de la región, y la pertinencia y eficacia de dicha respuesta ha estado sujeta a las barreras de información que existen sobre las condiciones, alcances y dinámicas de la situación. Uno de los principales vacíos de información ha estado en las afectaciones diferenciales que enfrentan grupos poblacionales como las personas con discapacidad, y dicho vacío ha imposibilitado una toma de decisiones basada en la evidencia. En este contexto, este informe tiene el objetivo de brindar información sobre las características sociodemográficas de la población refugiada y migrante que vive en Colombia, México, Guatemala y Perú, así como sobre la población con discapacidad que vive en Venezuela. Fortalecer la recolección, análisis y difusión de información sobre discapacidad y movilidad humana facilitará una respuesta que sea sensible a los riesgos específicos de protección que puede enfrentar esta población
