The Issue-based Coalition on Human Mobility (IBC-HM) of the Regional Collaborative Platform for Latin America and the Caribbean aims to complement existing mechanisms (e.g. other Issue-based Coalitions, United Nations networks on migration, the Global Refugee Forum, the Comprehensive Regional Protection and Solutions Framework (MIRPS), the Regional Conference on Migration (RCM), the South American Conference on Migration (CSM), the Ibero-American Network of Migration Authorities (RIAM) and other related coordination platforms). This IBC serves as a regional platform for United Nations agencies and stakeholders, including civil society organizations, to support Resident Coordinators and United Nations country teams in responding to the situations of refugees, migrants, host communities, and communities of return in the Americas.
Key objectives and areas of focus:
-
Provide specialized technical assistance and support, including information sharing and joint advocacy, to Resident Coordinators and United Nations country teams in responding to the specific situations affecting migrants, refugees, host communities, and communities of return.
-
Enhance cooperation and information/data/experience sharing on human mobility, refugees, migrants, and resilience within and beyond the IBC by the respective lead entities, relying particularly on cooperation with the Working Group on SDG Data and Statistics.
-
Assist Member States in reviewing and implementing the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) at both country and regional levels, in alignment with the United Nations Development System.
- Cooperate with human mobility-related mechanisms established at regional and sub-regional levels. Strengthen synergies among members working with existing human mobility-related processes and initiatives (e.g. the Comprehensive Regional Protection and Solutions Framework - MIRPS, the Regional Conference on Migration - RCM, the South American Conference on Migration - CSM, the Ibero-American Network of Migration Authorities - RIAM, the Central American Integration System (SICA), the International Migration Review Forum-IMRF).
