Apply Today: Submit your solution to support Venezuelans across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The U.S. Agency for International Development and the Inter-American Development Bank are seeking innovative solutions to support Venezuelans and the communities hosting them across Latin America and the Caribbean. The BetterTogether, JuntosEsMejor, Challenge will provide grants, loans, or equity investments from under $25,000 to $1.5 million, as well as technical assistance, access to networks, and public recognition.

As the largest external displacement of people in the Western Hemisphere’s history, the Venezuela regional crisis has driven nearly 4.5 million people to flee the country. The political and economic crisis has led to severe shortages of food, electricity, medicine, water, and other basic human needs. 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.

The BetterTogether Challenge is a global initiative to crowdsource, fund, and scale the best solutions for a brighter future.  Visit JuntosEsMejorVE.org to learn more, and sign up here to receive updates.

The Trust for the Americas is honored to be part of the Challenge as Outreach Partner.
