Report: An opportunity for all: Venezuelan Migration (Spanish)

In Peru, addressing the influx of migrants begins with integrating them and harnessing their potential to drive new growth opportunities.
Venezuelan migrants and refugees represent a major economic opportunity for Peru, have the potential to raise the country’s productive capacity and significantly drive growth, according to a World Bank.
"For me, failing in that scenario was not a possibility. It would be a failure for the 4.7 million Venezuelan migrants and refugees and the millions of Colombians, Peruvians and the rest of Latin Americans who are experiencing the good and the bad of migration" (Spanish only).
Venezuelan migration is not abating. Since 2016, more than 4.6 million people have fled the country, mostly to other Latin American countries like Peru. How can these recipient communities not just deal with the influx but take advantage of the potential?.
