UNHCR operation in Guatemala

About this project

To address the needs of people in mixed movements and identify those with international protection needs, UNHCR has established six field offices located in critical transit points as they share borders with Mexico, Honduras, and El Salvador. UNHCR collaborates closely with the government and civil society organizations to ensure access to territory, documentation, protection referral mechanisms, international protection solutions, basic services, and urgent needs for refugees, asylum-seekers, and Guatemalans at risk. Additionally, UNHCR and its partners operate in five Migrant and Refugee Assistance Centres to cover entry and exit borders and transit routes and reinforce the national response to people in mixed movements by identifying persons with international protection needs and providing solutions.
