What is the MIRPS?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Panama adopted the San Pedro Sula Declaration<\/a> in 2017 and agreed to jointly implement the Comprehensive Regional Protection and Solutions Framework (MIRPS). In 2019, El Salvador joined this initiative. The MIRPS is a concrete application of the Global Compact on Refugees<\/a>, which encourages regional cooperation among countries of origin, transit and destination for a greater responsibility sharing in matters of prevention, protection and durable solutions. It also entails a participatory approach by directly involving people with protection needs and populations impacted by violence and insecurity. This mechanism also integrates cooperating member states in the Support Platform<\/a> and works along regional and international organizations committed to the humanitarian and development agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n
