Spain takes the leadership of the MIRPS Platform
ACNUR La Agencia de la ONU para los Refugiados
Description
The Platform, made up of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States and the European Union, will seek to give greater visibility to the complex situation that has forced hundreds of thousands of people from Central America to flee their homes. Through the coordination of technical, financial and material support, the Support Platform will mobilize new alliances to seek durable solutions for displaced people and increase protection activities in the countries that are part of the MIRPS. The MIRPS, which includes Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Panama, was created in 2017, as a pioneering application of the Global Compact on Refugees and brings together humanitarian and development approaches to address the needs of a growing number of Central Americans fleeing violence and persecution. Under the framework, each of these countries has committed to national action plans and have established strategic alliances with local governments, multilateral organizations, other countries, civil society and the private sector, to meet the needs of displaced persons and the communities that host them. Through a Pro-tempore Presidency - currently led by El Salvador - and its regional plan, MIRPS seeks to provide solutions and address forced displacement in the region in a cooperative manner.
