The objective of this report is to make recommendations for the Government of Belize (GoB) for the formulation of a country-specific comprehensive disaster risk finance (DRF) strategy, based on the assessment of the legislative, financial management, fiscal, and insurance market environment in Belize. This report is envisioned to be used as a planning tool for the potential development of a comprehensive DRF strategy that would equip the Ministry of Finance (MoF) with information and instruments to manage contingent liabilities posed by disasters.
La migración es un fenómeno que supone beneficios tanto para quienes salen de su país de origen como para aquellos que los reciben. En la jornada mundial dedicada a esas personas, la ONU llama a seguir la ruta del pacto para una migración regular y ordenada.
“La migración es un poderoso motor del crecimiento económico, el dinamismo y la comprensión. Permite que millones de personas busquen nuevas oportunidades, lo que beneficia por igual a las comunidades de origen y de destino”, aseveró este martes el Secretario General de la ONU.
