Washington, D.C.- The Inter-American Development Bank held a Virtual Regional Policy Dialogue with migration authorities to get a first-hand look at how countries in Latin America that host migrants are handling large and sudden influxes of people during the coronavirus pandemic. These authorities had the opportunity to discuss the challenges encountered by border control authorities during the health crisis and the impact that lockdown measures have had on migrants and on people who live near these borders. They also talked about the measures undertaken by their countries to assist migrants, lessons learned, and what their new priorities and areas of interest are.
