Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible Relacionados y Objetivos del Pacto Mundial sobre Migración
Objetivo clave
Funded by the Migration Multi-Partner Trust Fund, the objective of this joint programme is to promote the socioeconomic integration of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Mexico City and Santiago de Chile, by improving access to decent work, sustainable livelihoods, and social protection. This joint programme seeks to foster exchange of good practices between two migrant-receiving cities.
Principales actividades
The joint programme implements interventions in three areas: 1) Strengthen public policies/ programmes and services offered by governmental and non-governmental actors, in the areas of access to employment, entrepreneurship and social protection; 2) Promote social dialogue among governmental -including local authorities- and social partners in order to facilitate migrants’ integration in the labour market; and 3) Facilitate South-South and City-to-City exchange of good practices. It combines the practical implementation of new programmes to foster the socioeconomic integration of migrants with the promotion of social dialogue between city authorities and social partners (employers’ organizations and workers’ unions) as well as civil society.
