Assessment Report: Mainstreaming Migration into Employment and Urban Development in Ecuador 2019

Also available in:
Spanish

Ecuador has seen a significant increase in international immigration in recent years. The Venezuelan refugee and migrant crisis, in particular, has significantly impacted regional migration trends and national priorities. Consequently, Ecuador faces challenges in managing the inflow of migrants (including forcibly displaced persons and migrants in vulnerable situations) through border-crossing points and towards the cities.

This assessment, undertaken within the framework of the IOM Mainstreaming Migration into the International Cooperation and Development (MMICD) Project funded by the European Union, highlights several opportunities to mainstream migration and displacement into employment and urban development. The assessment comprises: (a) an analysis of Ecuador’s migration, employment, and urban development dynamics and governance arrangements; (b) an analysis of the extent to which the issue of migration and displacement is integrated into employment and urban development policies and programmes; and (c) a set of conclusions and recommendations for successfully mainstreaming migration and displacement into the employment and urban development sectors of Ecuador.
