Benefiting Member States
Bolivia (Plurinational State of)
Bolivia lacks public policies and local level strategic plans to meet the challenges posed by the relation between migration and climate change; such shortcomings limit the development of resilient capacities to prevent, prepare, mitigate and address migration flows of indigenous and rural populations in a vulnerable situation. Within this context, this pilot project aims to contribute to the development of a national policy and strategic guidelines on migration, climate change and risk management in highly vulnerable municipalities, through the identification and characterization of migration flows associated to the effects of climate change. In order to achieve this purpose, the project will be implemented through the following components, in close coordination with the Vice-Ministry of Civil Defense (VMCD) and concerned local entities with responsibilities on the subject: 1) Participatory Action Research, which embraces the development of case studies with their respective baseline, addressing the relationship between migration, climate change and risk management; 2) Formulate proposals of Strategic Plans to prevent, prepare, mitigate and address human mobility linked to the effects of climate change. The strategic plans will strengthen existing capacities for the adoption of resilient strategies by indigenous and rural communities and institutions; 3) Development of local capacities to facilitate the implementation of participatory and gender-sensitive vulnerability assessments, enabling the development of Community Action Plans (CAP) that enhance risk management and coordination with the subnational levels (municipal and departmental).
