Mexico

Mexico’s AMEXCID Sembrando Vida program provided agricultural assistance to 2,000 Belizean farmers, in addition to those farmers it works with in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. The program seeks to reduce irregular migration.

Mexico, in collaboration with UNHCR, is expanding labor integration programs for recognized refugee and asylum seekers. Since June, Mexico and UNHCR had internally relocated 3,289 refugees to secure areas of Mexico’s industrial corridor where they are paired with jobs and apartments and receive help to enroll their children in schools to ensure successful local integration and contributions to the Mexican economy.

Mexico increased its capacity to humanely house migrant and refugee families with shelter, food, labor opportunities, and health and education services with the opening of the 676-person capacity Integrated Center for Migrants in Matamoros.
