In recent years, millions of Venezuelans have been displaced, migrating to other countries in the region. Complex work and migration policies, limited economic opportunities, and xenophobia can make it difficult for Venezuelans to integrate into their new communities and can even exacerbate the risk of conflict.

Additionally, Minga Per is connecting IAF grantees who support Venezuelan migrants through virtual workshops to share approaches and lessons, particularly as they relate to the special vulnerabilities that migrants face in the wake of COVID-19.
