Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis continues to worsen with no end in sight. Its neighbors face the pressure of a mass exodus of Venezuelans that is increasingly hard to contain, and which will only intensify in the coming months. Moving forward, the international community, the region, and civil society will have to adapt to this new reality and work to mitigate the humanitarian, social, and economic impacts of the crisis. AS/COA will bring together international migration and humanitarian experts to discuss lessons learned in similar crises around the world and explore solutions that can be implemented in Venezuela and the region to tackle the migration crisis in the short and long term.

This event is part of the Venezuela Working Group (VWG). Please contact Guillermo Zubillaga at gzubillaga@as-coa.org for

This event is complimentary. Prior registration is required but onine registration is now closed. You may still register at AS/COA on Thursday, June 7, at 8:00 a.m.
