Migration from Venezuela: opportunities for Latin America and the Caribbean
Migración desde Venezuela: oportunidades para América Latina y el Caribe
The political, human rights and socio-economic developments in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela have led to the largest movement of refugees and migrants in the recent history of Latin America and the Caribbean. As of November 2020, of the approximately 5.4 million refugees and migrants from Venezuela outside of their country of origin, some 4.6 million are hosted in the region alone, including an increasing number of them in an irregular situation. Despite the devastating and ongoing socioeconomic and human impact of COVID-19, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have continued to show solidarity towards Venezuelans and tofacilitate access to basic rights and lifesaving services as well as supporting their integration.

Entendiendo las necesidades de información y comunicación de las personas refugiadas y migrantes en la Situación de Venezuela
Understanding the information and communication needs of refugees and migrants in the Venezuela Situation
A regional survey on the information and communication needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela found that half of them feel that they don’t have enough information on their rights and where to obtain assistance. The study was carried out by over 30 organizations across Latin America and the Caribbean, under the framework of the Regional Inter-Agency Coordination Platform for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela (R4V).
Una encuesta regional para comprender las necesidades de información y comunicación de las personas refugiadas y migrantes de Venezuela reveló que la mitad de ellas sienten que no tienen suficiente información sobre sus derechos y sobre dónde encontrar la asistencia disponible. El estudio fue realizado por más de 30 organizaciones en América Latina y el Caribe, en el marco de la Plataforma Regional de Coordinación Interagencial para Refugiados y Migrantes de Venezuela (R4V).
As of October 2019, more than 4.5 million refugees and migrants from Venezuela are outside their country of origin, with 3.7 million in the region alone. As per current trends, it is estimated that the number of refugees and migrants from Venezuela included in government official figures in countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, will reach up to 5.5 million by the end of 2020. In this context, this RMRP 2020 is the result of field-driven planning, bringing together 137 appealing organizations, in consultation with host governments, civil society and faith-based organizations, local communities, donors, as well as the refugees and migrants themselves with common objective of addressing the overarching humanitarian, protection and socioeconomic integration needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela.
