One of the world’s major external displacement issues is the exodus of refugees and migrants from Venezuela. Over 5.6 million individuals have fled their homeland so far. On June 17th, Canada will host an international donor conference, which will bring together governments and important parties involved in the response to the Venezuelan crisis, such as the corporate sector, development banks, and civil society.
The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), co-chairs of the Regional Inter-Agency Coordination Platform for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela, will host the Donors’ Conference in Canada (R4V).
The COVID-19 outbreak has increased the difficulties faced by Venezuelan refugees and migrants. Border restrictions, lockdowns, loss of livelihoods, and poverty have pushed many people to rely on emergency humanitarian aid. Gender-based violence, mental health requirements, evictions, food hardship, and increased xenophobia are all being exacerbated as a result of the pandemic’s effects.
Despite the generosity of regional governments and worldwide donors, the international community’s financial pledges are still insufficient to fulfil the needs of refugees and migrants, as well as the host countries. In 2021, the financing requirements for the Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP) are $1.44 billion. Only 5% has received funding so far.
