This project aims to enable stakeholders to make informed decisions on evidence-based, gender-focused and migrant-sensitive public health policies and programmes, through access to strategic information and improved technical capacities, in line with Sustainable Development Goal target 3.8. The project will improve access to strategic information, by developing a migration and health interactive map that will be embedded in INCOSAMI's Knowledge Management (KM) platform (www.saludymigracion), using methods that will facilitate information exchange and ensuring that information in the map is georeferenced and sensitive to contextual and gender differences. Also, an executive training programme on how to develop evidence-based, gender-focused and migrant-sensitive public health policies and actions will be developed and implemented with relevant stakeholders.
