This project has sought to significantly contribute to the protection of human rights of migrants and displaced persons in Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Nicaragua, and possibly further in the region in the longer-term. The project will have two distinct components: 1) The creation and pilot-testing of a training curriculum on migration and human rights through workshops with a core group of university professors and officials from selected ministries in two participating countries (Colombia and Nicaragua); and, 2) Support to one specialist in each of the two countries, plus one each in Dominican Republic and Ecuador, to adapt the core curriculum to special national contexts. The pilot training took place over two weeks in Colombia and Nicaragua, with final generic and national products produced over a period of four months. If successful, methods and means of further disseminating the training in the four countries, and further in the Latin American/Caribbean region will be sought.
The contribution from the 1035 Facility enabled the implementation of this pilot phase as an initial, stage-setting activity.
