Ongoing Actions during the current project phase

  • In the South American Gran Chaco, MIEUX+ collaborates with a diverse network of partners from local and national authorities, academia, and civil society organisations, to analyse human mobility and draft policy recommendations related to environmental migration, with a focus on indigenous communities.

  • MIEUX+ is drafting recommendations on mainstreaming the interculturality in the Strategic Plan of the Migration Management Policy in partnership with Medellin's Mayor Office, for the Colombia II Action. 

  • As part of the Action Costa Rica IV, MIEUX+ is working alongside the Directorate General of Migration and Immigration to craft a protocol for aiding and safeguarding migrants in mixed migratory flows during emergencies or crisis situations.

  • Finally, MIEUX+ is cooperating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to create a course centered on EU migration policy and asylum, in the context of the El Salvador II Action.
