The purpose of this document is to present key information for the development of the regional strategy. It reviews a set of information that contextualizes human mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean, recognizing contemporary trends, identifying their driving factors and describing the main demographic qualities that characterize them.The authors then address the needs for protection of individuals in the context of mobility in the region, particularly those associated with the exercise of their fundamental rights and processes of inclusion in social protection systems in the destination society. They then present the right to education as a multiplier right in contexts of human mobility, reviewing the main obstacles faced by migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and returnees. Finally, the text presents a discussion of UNESCO’s role in this context based on the review of international regulatory instruments and frameworks, institutional frameworks, the work agenda at the regional level and the migratory institutional structure in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Children, Food and Nutrition: Growing Well in a Changing World Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) This 2019 edition of The State of the World’s Children (SOWC) examines the issue of children, food and nutrition, providing a fresh perspective on a rapidly evolving challenge. Despite progress in the past two decades, one third of children under age 5 are malnourished – stunted, wasted or overweight – while two thirds are at risk of malnutrition and hidden hunger because of the poor quality of their diets. At the center of this challenge is a broken food system that fails to provide children with the diets they need to grow healthy. This report also provides new data and analyses of malnutrition in the 21st century and outlines recommendations to put children’s rights at the heart of food systems. 
Every Child Learns: UNICEF Education Strategy 2019–2030 Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) The gap between the levels of learning that education systems are providing and what children, communities and economies need, is growing. The breadth and depth of this learning crisis constitute the greatest global challenge to preparing children and adolescents for life, work and active citizenship. The lesson of the learning crisis is clear: the conventional assembly of education inputs is not improving learning outcomes. This presents a fundamental challenge to the way that governments, development partners and communities are managing and supporting education systems. A new, more radical approach that focusses on enhancing learning outcomes is long overdue and forms the basis for this strategy.The report also outlines the shift towards a greater focus on improving learning outcomes, including supporting the breadth of skills that allow young people to become agile, adaptive learners and citizens, equipped to navigate personal, social, academic, economic and environmental challenges.

In addition, the report draws from interviews with numerous country and regional experts and an extensive review of secondary data sources, including reports by United Nations (UN) agencies, development and humanitarian non-governmental organizations (NGOs), human rights organizations, government bodies, and think tanks, including numerous contributions from GCPEA’s member organizations.
