This is because the massive and continuous flow of migrants, increasing since 2018 poses significant strains on the country's response capacity in terms of regularisation, with direct impact on access to education, health, social protection, legal assistance, among others. The action has been built on previous interventions supported by the Commission with a nexus approach, consolidating efforts in providing basic needs while building local capacities to respond systematically in future. It also builds on crisis response projects funded by FPI in the past, taking forward our support to more strategic and long-term intervention, complementing efforts already ongoing by the regional team, MS and other key actors such as the US."}, {"bbox": [97, 528, 637, 556], "category": "Text", "text": "This Action encompasses two complementary approaches:"}, {"bbox": [97, 567, 1162, 780], "category": "Text", "text": "(i) Support to the regularization process by strengthening the capacities of institutions managing migration and asylum issues, will enhance their efficiency and quality in accordance with international commitments. This will ensure access to basic rights and services for economic migrants and forcibly displaced persons. If the activities related to Specific objective 1 (support to institutional capacity and social protection) are undertaken, then migrants and host communities will have access to regularization and other measures facilitating labor and economic integration, as well as local economic development. Strengthening public institutions will be instrumental in promoting the inclusion and well-being of migrants and host communities, fostering a conducive environment for their sustainable integration into society and the economy."}, {"bbox": [97, 791, 1162, 1084], "category": "Text", "text": "(ii) Improving economic inclusion and promoting social cohesion, will facilitate integration and conflict prevention within host communities. If the activities related to Specific objective 2 (trainings and empowerment programmes) are undertaken, then they will enhance the socio-economic inclusion and social cohesion of economic migrants, forcibly displaced persons and host communities, ensuring equal opportunities for women, combating gender-based violence, and improving resilience to climate change and food security challenges. Achieving this objective requires robust coordination among various stakeholders, including the private sector, civil society, and host communities. Enhanced collaboration will improve public services to address the specific needs of these populations and promote employability through skills development. Additionally, the initiative will create self-employment opportunities and decent employment, particularly for disadvantaged groups within both migrant and host communities, thereby promoting social cohesion. Building resilience in both populations is essential for ensuring food security, mitigating climate impacts, and fostering harmonious coexistence and integration."}, {"bbox": [97, 1122, 1162, 1283], "category": "Text", "text": "Partnerships aimed at advancing integration, in accordance with the sequential logic of the triple nexus (humanitarian, development, and peace), will be coordinated in collaboration with Member States actively involved in humanitarian response and rehabilitation efforts.
