This project will establish the Information and Support Centre for International Migration in Bogota, which will inform international migrants in Colombia as well as Colombians abroad on all aspects of the migration process. The centre will provide training for union and non-government organization (NGO) representatives on migration issues as well as support the collaboration and coordination between the Ministry of Social Protection (MPS) and the Union of General Labour Confederation (GGT) in their efforts to assist migrants. The project will also provide direct legal support to 20 Colombian migrants abroad, through this new centre.
