Participate now in the Better Together challenge and help the Regional Venezuela Crisis 2020 (Competition)

Venezuela’s political, humanitarian, and economic crisis has led to severe shortages of food, electricity, medicine, water, and other basic needs. The situation has driven more than 4.3 million people to flee the country, the largest external displacement of people in the Western Hemisphere’s history. This outflow of Venezuelans has had a growing social and economic impact on neighboring countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, including effects on public services, labor markets, community relations, and infrastructure. and that’s why this challenge created with a partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Inter-American Development Bank.
