This high-level meeting will focus on sharing the perspectives, experiences, and solutions among local government officials and civil society in Central America and Mexico.
Migration is a local phenomenon. Although national governments are key players in crafting policy to address the hemisphere-wide migration crisis, mayors are the ones feeling and dealing with the pressure and, in many cases, developing inclusive solutions.
Today, the Inter-American Dialogue — a preeminent think-tank dedicated to Western Hemisphere affairs — announced its Cities Initiative. The program recognizes the critical impact local policy has on daily lives, as well as the important role subnational innovations can play as a catalyst for national policy change.
The Dialogue is a hemispheric organization that builds networks of cooperation and action to advance democratic resilience, shared prosperity, social inclusion, and sustainable development across the Americas. We impact policy debates, devise solutions, and enhance collaboration to unlock meaningful change in the Western Hemisphere.
