Driving the development of host communities through the social and economic integration of the migrant population.
With the appropriate policies and resources, the integration of migrants can contribute to the development of host countries and the wellbeing of their communities.
We work alongside governments to provide migrants with access to registration and documentation.
To improve the living conditions of the local and migrant population, we support investment in basic services and housing.
By expanding the reach of existing programs and supporting the design and implementation of new initiatives, we grant migrants access to social services in their countries of destinations.
We support governments in their efforts to set the conditions for migrants to have access to economic opportunities that allow them to unveil their capacities and contribute to the economies of their host communities.

Over the past decade, Latin America and the Caribbean have experienced a sharp rise in intraregional migration, accompanied by widespread situations of migrants residing without regular status.
Remittances received by millions of families in Latin America and the Caribbean contribute significantly to poverty reduction. The possibility of sending remittances is one of the main reasons why people decide to migrate.
Over the past decade, migration flows in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have grown significantly, characterized by complex patterns of origin, transit, destination, and return migration.
This action framework offers guidance on the IDB Group´s efforts to support LAC countries in promoting an efficient, orderly, and inclusive migration for development. As origin, transit, destination, and return encompass all migration dynamics, they also provide a useful framework to identify and devise adequate and tailored interventions.
