OVERVIEW
USAID supports the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) “Economic Integration of Vulnerable Nationals from Venezuela” activity in Brazil.
HOW DOES THE ACTIVITY WORK?
The “Economic Integration of Vulnerable Nationals from Venezuela” activity supports the Government of Brazil’s “Voluntary Relocation Strategy” which relocates willing Venezuelan’s migrants and refugees from the remote border region of Roraima State to larger population centers. The purpose of this activity is to provide Venezuelan migrants with access to sustainable livelihoods, housing, and basic services including health and education, by matching them with destination communities where the basic elements of socio-economic integration can be met.
The activity has two primary objectives: a) The economic integration of Venezuelan nationals through facilitated access to formal employment and enhanced access to livelihood opportunities; and b) The social integration of Venezuelan nationals by strengthening access to rights and services that advance their social inclusion.
