Among a total of 68 proposals from 13 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, the winners in the category of migratory flows were the State of Sonora (Mexico), the Prefecture of Sao Paulo (Brazil), and the Mayor's Office of San Miguel (El Salvador), in the first three places respectively.
In this same category, the Mayor's Office of Bogotá received a special mention for the district strategy for the inclusion and integration of new Bogotá citizens, through which it proposes strategic institutional actions in alliance with the private sector, international cooperation, and civil society organizations to protect the human rights of people in situations of human mobility.
Through initiatives such as the Intégrate Centers of the SuperCADE network, which are part of the strategy, the Mayor's Office has provided benefits to around 650,000 Venezuelan migrants, refugees, and/or returnees through the services provided for development and social integration.
