Follow up to the 2nd South American Conference on Migration

The beneficiary countries included nine IOM Member States in South America. The project has also positively impacted neighbouring non-member countries engaged in regional dialogue and planning processes. Three follow-up actions received support: (1) the American Training Programme on Migration (ATPM) received USD 15,000 to enhance planning and implementation of a regional training agenda; (2) the process for developing a Plan of Action to direct follow-up to the 2nd South American Conference on Migration received USD 30,000 of support; and (3) three specific technical cooperation actions for comparative diagnosis of migration administrative systems (USD 30,000), comparative analysis of visa regimes (USD 15,000), and USD 60,000 for comparative analysis of human resource and information systems were also funded. The actions were designed to seed further action throughout South America, as per the recommendations of the 2nd South American Conference on Migration.
