dc.description.abstractThis study on Belize forms part of the Inter-American Development Bank’s (IDB) Migration Action Framework addressing migration from a development perspective. This framework seeks to identify interventions that accommodate migrants in an orderly and inclusive manner so they become a constructive force for local development. Drawing on data about 50 percent of Belize’s school-age migrant children, this paper identifies challenges and opportunities in the integration of migrant schoolchildren into their communities. The IDB aims to support Belize (and its other recipient countries) through highly targeted loan and grant investments. These are used to support migrants and their host communities in priority sectors to secure better access to health, education, housing, employment opportunities, and other social services. This backing is especially meaningful now, as hard-hit communities address the complex process of national integration during the COVID-19 pandemic.
