Promoting Peaceful Coexistence in the COVID-19 Response for Migrants, Refugees and Other Vulnerable Populations in Central America and the Caribbean Implemented through a Multi-Partner Contribution Agreement with IOM and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), this project aims to promote integration and peaceful coexistence by improving the health response, community engagement and the protection of affected communities in Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and Haiti. The COVID-19 pandemic has had vast impacts on the socioeconomic well-being and health of the region's population, affecting the considerable number of vulnerable populations most including indigenous populations, stranded migrants, returnees, refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, and vulnerable host/transit community members. While each country faces distinct challenges, there is an overall need to support governments in their COVID-19 responses in order to ensure these populations are not left behind. Risk of conflict and insecurity is high because of the pandemic's wide-ranging effects on a region characterized by insecurity, violence, and limited institutional capacity. As borders remain partially or completely closed and health systems are overwhelmed, IOM and UNHCR have the operational capacity in the region and the institutional expertise to support governments in their efforts to mitigate conflict as a result of the pandemic.
