VENEZUELA
In 2021, I was the Canadian Project Director of the Venezuela Donors' Conference Pledge Tracking and Reporting Project ($35,000) funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by Alinea International. We provided donor tracking research and economic analysis support ahead of the International conference in solidarity with Venezuelan refugees and migrants hosted by Government of Canada, United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The conference resulted in US$2.35 billion in pledges from donors. The conference also led to longer-term development assistance aimed at facilitating access to quality education, health care and employment opportunities for Venezuelan refugees and migrants and host communities.
