Agreement Number:

7467629 P015702001

Agreement Value:

$4,000,000.00

Agreement Date:

May 13, 2025 - Apr 30, 2027

Description:

March 2025 – Migration and displacement across Central America continues due to violence, political instability, economic challenges, and climate change. The region, stretching from Panama to Guatemala, serves as a key migratory corridor, with fluid, multi-directional routes and a rising number of returnees. Many migrants rely on dangerous routes, facing risks such as human trafficking and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Limited access to health care, including sexual and reproductive health services, further worsens the challenges faced by migrants, especially women and girls. With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society (CRCS), together with the relevant national Red Cross Societies, helps provide life-saving assistance to address gaps in SGBV and basic healthcare services particularly for migrants, including women, girls and other marginalized groups. This project focuses on 4 Central American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Panama. Project activities include: (1) providing critical services to SGBV survivors, including comprehensive case management and therapy sessions; (2) providing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, particularly for women and girls; (3) delivering first aid and primary-health-care services; and (4) conducting community information sessions on preventing SGBV.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) strengthened SGBV response and prevention; and (2) enhanced health services for migrants, particularly for women, girls and other marginalized groups in Central America.

The expected ultimate outcome is to save lives, alleviate suffering and maintain human dignity in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
