Brief Background of the Project
Venezuela is experiencing a significant deterioration in its socio-economic situation, which is expressed in high inflation and unemployment rates, lack of access to health services, education and housing, political instability, violence, and human rights violations. As a result, as of September 2019, more than 4.5 million Venezuelans now live outside their country[2]. Latin American countries welcome the vast majority of Venezuelans, so many refugees and migrants are expressing their intention to stay in host countries, thus, generating the design of strategies that overcome humanitarian aid and give way to actions linked to economic and social development and integration with host communities.
The European Union has been at the forefront of fostering comprehensive responses to forced displacement that are intended to promote the socio-economic inclusion of displaced persons and to reduce the resilience of host communities. In this context, UN-Habitat, IOM and UNHCR, with the support of the European Union, are beginning to implement an inter-agency project called "Inclusive cities, communities of solidarity", with the aim of reducing the vulnerabilities of refugees and migrants and addressing the impact on host communities to design stable and lasting solutions with a medium- and long-term vision.
The specific objectives of this project are:
a. Strengthening host communities and improving economic and social inclusion for vulnerable refugee and migrant populations in transition in host communities.
b. Design and support actions to protect migrant and refugee populations, and improve their access to documentation, guidance, and basic rights, also favoring host communities that so require.
To achieve these specific objectives, the project "Inclusive cities, communities of solidarity" aims to achieve the following five main results in the short, medium, and long term:
Result 1: Local governments are better informed and prepared to manage migrant and refugee groups in transition and in vulnerable flight.
Result 2: Inclusion of migration, and asylum-related challenges and opportunities in urban strategies and planning.
Result 3: Promoting social cohesion and preventing conflicts between host communities and migrants/refugees.
Result 4: Strengthening the capacity of local governments to respond to the specific needs and challenges faced by migrants and refugees, with the participation of the private sector and other relevant actors to ensure transparency and inclusion of migrants and host communities, in the decision-making that affects them.
Result 5: Systematization and dissemination to other cities, on best practices in the design and implementation of public policies for socio-economic stabilization and integration, of migrant populations and host communities, within the framework of the project's objectives.
In this context and in order to achieve the results identified, it is necessary to design and implement actions to enable the integration of young refugees and migrants with young people from host communities (mainly those who neither study nor work) and to insert them into activities for the care of the city through tactical urbanism actions under the leadership of UN-Habitat and other actions envisaged in the project under the leadership of UNHCR and IOM , in such a way as to promote social cohesion and prevent conflict and xenophobia[3].
Action’s approaches:
UN-Habitat Principles: New Urban Agenda (NAU)
In 2016, the New Urban Agenda is formulated as a guide to guiding city development efforts for a wide range of actors (states, urban and regional leaders, donors, United Nations programs, academia, civil society, among others) for the next 20 years. In addition, it seeks to promote more inclusive, compact, and connected cities through urban planning and design, governance and urban legislation, and the urban economy. It seeks to create a bond of mutual reinforcement between urbanization and development. NAU was welcomed by the countries that are part of the project: Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago with which they assumed the commitment to its implementation.
Required advisory components:
COMPONENT I: Within the framework of the project "Inclusive cities, communities of solidarity", design and implementation of tactical urbanism actions for the integration of young refugees, migrants, and host communities (with special focus to those who neither study nor work).
Main objective:
Generate territorial actions that promote the socio-economic integration of young refugees, migrants and host communities members based on their linkage to tactical urbanism actions in which they assume and lead the care of the common goods of the city (public spaces, equipment, infrastructure, etc.).
Definitions of the action:
Young people have presence in high percentages in the refugee, migrant and host communities. Among them, those who neither study nor work due to socioeconomic conditions, require special attention as their condition affects their self-esteem and makes them highly vulnerable to resort to activities outside the law for their survival and that of their family. These young people, who have not had access to an environment that promotes their development (safe family environment, socio economic situation, and exposure to insecurity in their closer environment) and who also do not meet requirements and conditions to participate and benefit from official programs for their integral development (technical education or higher programs), generally do not see the study as a means of their development.
To offer options for these young community to appreciate themselves and to gain the appreciations of their communities, the project Inclusive cities, communities of solidarity have proposed the implementation of tactical urban actions with these groups. By their participation, the intervention aim to not only to contribute to their individual needs and integral development, but also to urban security through the prevention of the practice of illicit activities for their subsistence and the prevention of xenophobia (promotes integration, dismantles stigmas, generates social recognition and solidarity).
Tactical urbanism or also called participatory urbanism, promotes topophilia, and frame its action in a recent current of urbanism, "aimed at transforming and improving the habitability, aesthetics and quality of urban spaces, through "small large interventions" built on strategic sites between communities and authorities, expecting to facilitate the integration, social cohesion, and wellbeing at pleasant cities. In this way, experimental projects of high symbolic and pedagogical value, and low-cost are advanced with the objective to promote the construction of social trust between different stakeholders and social leaders, and the consolidation of alliances and synergies for the benefit of the urban common goods or Urban commons that make up the city. Tactical urbanism stimulates creativity, innovation, and the exercise of citizen responsibilities. Its designs and impacts can be achieved by social networks and in many cases become tourist attractions or symbols that generate rooting and belonging in neighborhoods and settlements. They can be applied in public spaces, streets, deteriorated infrastructure, parks, urban facilities, etc.
This model of intervention has become important in urban planning due to it has advantages over conventional models of planning and execution of projects: inexpensive, agile implementation, and puts at the center the communities intended to serve. Since interventions are designed and executed on a small scale and with the logic of experimentation, it is possible to see and evaluate the impact and results in very short times and react accordingly, perfecting the intervention. They are also replicable, which promotes performance through lessons learned.
For its implementation, the UN-Habitat[4] methodology contemplates that the implementing partner complies with the following aspects:
- Collective construction of tactical urbanism actions through planning-creation exercises with beneficiary community: Through widely participatory exercises that consider the experiences, knowledge, skills of young people and their communities. The project has defined the development of at least 3 tactical urbanism actions for each of the TIU defined for the cities under action. In total, at least 39 actions of tactical urbanism will take place.
For the collective construction of tactical urbanism actions, the implementing partner must carry out the following activities:
o Generation of spaces for citizen participation and dialogue (with the participation of local authorities) in the territories of the cities that are prioritized, to identify the young refugees, migrants and host communities members that neither study or work, who are willing to relate to the project.
o Conceptual, technical, and logistical structuring of tactical urbanism actions in conjunction with the community.
o Collective implementation of tactical urbanism actions, giving prominence to the community and with the support and connection of local government.
b. Promotion of resilience: Through the implementation of tactical urbanism actions, the project must contribute to mitigate the effects of climate change, improve air quality and water management and increase the sustainability of target cities through innovative nature-based solutions[5]. Thus, at least one tactical urbanism action per target city, must include nature-based solutions which uses natural elements (plants, soils, water, among other natural elements) to re-shape and promote the wellbeing of citizens.
c. Recognition of a social incentives for young people: The social incentive is neither salary nor subsidy, nor compensation, is exactly a recognition given to each young person to free up time that he or she should dedicate to participatory, community, ecological, emergency care, cultural, or recreational activities in benefit of their families, communities, neighborhoods, and cities.
The project has defined that, for each action of tactical urbanism, at least 20 young people from refugee, migrant and host communities are defined as beneficiaries of social incentives. In total, at least 780 young beneficiaries will be counted. For the implementation of social income for young people, the implementing partner must:
o Identify the beneficiaries.
o Enable procedures for the recognition and formalization of the social incentive with agility and promptness, including mechanisms to verify that resources have been allocated to young beneficiaries.
o Register through supports the linking of young people in the actions of tactical urbanism and the reception of social income.
Note: The amount of social incentives will be agreed between the implementing partner and UN-Habitat. Funds used for social incentives will be included in the amount of the implementing partner's proposal.
d. Establishment of a minor fund: the implementing partner shall ensure a fund with mechanisms for the rapid and timely transfer of resources that allows the planning and implementation of tactical urban actions.
e. Generation of partnerships with public actors and private enterprise: It is about articulating energies and synergies between the public and private sectors by the implementing of a strategy (tactical urbanism actions) in which convey different social and economic aspects and different sectors of society. Such triangulation between actors at the highest public and private levels with the young people and families of young nationals, refugees and migrants, is aimed not only at the latter, but also to third beneficiaries, who may be their neighbors, their distant relatives, victims, displaced people, among others, leading to a revival of solidarity and compassion (understood as shared passion) and expressing personal acts that promote the development and well-being of their environment.
Under the Inclusive Cities project, the implementing partner must consolidate:
o at least one (1) partnership with community or civil society organizations for each TIU involved.
o at least one (1) alliance with a private sector entity for each city involved.
o at least one (1) alliance with international cooperation agencies for each city involved.
o at least one (1) alliance with a public sector entity for each city involved, as well as the identification of synergies with existing plans, programs and/or projects in the public sector.
f. Technical assistance and communications: this component is oriented to the definition of a communication strategy during the development of the action of tactical urbanism as a tool for the entailment of the community, with special emphasis on young people in a condition of vulnerability, as well as for the dissemination of the scope of this initiative that does not generate false expectations in the community.
The implementing partner shall be responsible for:
o Structuring the communications strategy of tactical urbanism actions, considering the impact and expectation that they will generate at community level, as well as the articulation with local government and territorial entities.
o Generation of content for social networks of each of the actions of tactical urbanism for publication and dissemination on social networks of the project Inclusive Cities.
