Description
The RMRP 2026 brings together more than 150 partners across 17 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Since its establishment in 2018, the platform has worked to coordinate a harmonized, multi-sectoral response to the needs of refugees and migrants from Venezuela and other nationalities within mixed movement flows. As of late 2025, over 6.9 million migrants and refugees from Venezuela are estimated to be living across the region, along with significant numbers of refugees and migrants from Haiti, Colombia, Cuba, and various African and Asian countries. For 2026, the response is undergoing a simplification process aimed at strengthening coordination efficiency, reducing reporting burdens, and improving coherence between sectors and platforms at national and regional levels. This is an ongoing effort that includes streamlining sector structures, clarifying roles between regional and national platforms, and advancing more integrated, multisector response approaches aligned with humanitarian development-peace nexus (HDPN) linkages.
