In Ecuador, the Comprehensive Solutions Initiative
(CSI) was developed in coordination with the
government. CSI will focus on integral solutions,
including providing refugees with improved
livelihoods opportunities, resettlement possibilities
and the prospect of migratory solutions in the region
with protection safeguards. In the CSI context,
resettlement continues to play a pivotal role both as a
protection tool and a durable solution.
In Venezuela, local integration continues to be
pursued as the preferred solution for refugees.
However, UNHCR will continue to proactively seek
resettlement for refugees with legal and/or physical
protection needs, especially for cases involving
refugee women and girls exposed to or having
survived sexual and gender-based violence.
