Barranquilla

Overview

Barranquilla is committed to implementing the PA'LANTE project from June 2023 to December 2024 to support 500 migrant and refugee families with a comprehensive service approach to support their socioeconomic, cultural and urban integration.

Through this, Barranquilla evolves from a service-focused intervention model to an in-depth understanding of each family individually considered, and of the totality of its members, to facilitate their simultaneous access to a set of services tailored to their needs and preferences, measuring progress in integration trajectories, as well as their subjective opinion on the evolution of their well-being.

Such an initiative is aimed at the following:

Increasing the level of integration of beneficiary families in the social, cultural, urban-housing and productive components.
Implementing a new intervention model for the Intégrate Center based on the integration trajectories and preferences of the beneficiary families.
Generating a scalable intervention model that can be replicated in other contexts in the region, which integrally addresses the family to achieve its socioeconomic, cultural and urban integration.
Developing a qualitative analysis and a synthetic index of migrant integration that assesses the initial state of family trajectories and their evolution throughout the intervention process.

Expected Impact

70% of the 500 beneficiary families will reach a high level of integration based on our Migrant Integration Index and the perceptions of each family.
