• Direct beneficiaries: 18’000 women, girls and 12’000 men and boys on the move
• Indirect beneficiaries: 25’000 persons through other operational protection work by implementing partners, migrants and internally displaced individuals in general through more protective public policies promoted by technical support of Switzerland

Outcome 1: Protection risks affecting people in human mobility are reduced through strengthened, coordinated, and localized protection systems led by State and civil society actors at national and cross-border levels.

Outcome 2: Persons in human mobility, particularly those in vulnerable situations, have improved and timely access to regularization pathways, international protection procedures, and related protection services, reducing legal precarity and enabling the effective exercise of their rights.

Outcome 3: Persons in human mobility have improved access to livelihood opportunities, employability support, and incomegenerating activities, strengthening their socio-economic inclusion and self-reliance, and reducing vulnerability to protection risks and recurrent displacement.

Principaux résultats attendus:  

• People in human mobility access protection services and legal or regulatory mechanisms while improving access to livelihoods, employability support, and financial services to strengthen self-reliance and reduce protection risks and thereby support their socio-economic integration.
• Individuals in human mobility receive clear and current information and guidance on regularization, documentation, and international protection options.
• Survivors of gender-based violence and children and adolescents exposed to risks of recruitment, use, exploitation or other grave protection violations access timely, coordinated medical, psychosocial, legal and child-protection support through strengthened referral pathways and protection services.
• State institutions and relevant stakeholders are supported to develop, adopt, and implement participatory laws, policies, and operational tools to prevent and respond to GBV and child protection risks.

Principaux résultats antérieurs:  

• Approximately 48’000 vulnerable individuals in human mobility, both international migrants and internally displaced, received protection and / or rehabilitation services facilitated by the Programme, thereby reduced considerably their vulnerability to various forms of violence.
• Protection actors have improved their services through innovations which reduced vulnerable and at-risk persons, including for example through new credit schemes to migrants, thereby facilitating their longterm socioeconomic integration.
• Child protection systems in Peru and Ecuador were strengthened through new national protocols and improved institutional capacities. Phase 1 also confirmed that child protection, GBV, trafficking, and exploitation risks are interconnected and driven by legal and economic vulnerabilities in border areas, underscoring the need for integrated protection efforts in Phase 2.
