Appeal highlights
In 2023, an estimated 16.6 million people, including 5.4 million children, will need humanitarian support in the South American region related to various ongoing displacement crises. Nearly 6 million of the 7.1 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants worldwide are being hosted in the region. In Colombia, internal displacement, violence and disasters have left 7.7 million people, 31 per cent of them children, in need of humanitarian assistance. UNICEF will deliver critically necessary and gender-responsive humanitarian interventions focused on child protection (including from gender-based violence), education, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), health and nutrition. The response will strengthen preparedness and linkages between humanitarian action and development programming. In 2023, UNICEF requests US$160.5 million to deliver humanitarian assistance to 2.2 million people in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay. This appeal covers those affected by human mobility from Venezuela, as well as vulnerable populations in need of support in Colombia.
