UNHCR Protection Monitoring for Venezuelan Outflows in Latin America, 2020

Over 4 million people had left Venezuela by June 2019, largely due to a substantial deterioration of the situation in the country. This dataset, created by UNHCR - The UN Refugee Agency, contains protection monitoring data from 2020, a core activity to understand the protection situation of persons affected by forced displacement. The data focuses on outflows affecting countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and the southern Caribbean islands.

Use Cases

• Assessing protection risks faced by displaced persons based on the described monitoring framework
• Analyzing regional displacement trends and host country responses based on the described outflow patterns
• Informing humanitarian program adaptation based on the action-oriented monitoring data described

Strengths

• Data is produced by UNHCR - The UN Refugee Agency, a primary authority on refugee protection.
• The description provides specific context, citing an outflow increase from 700,000 in 2015 to over 4 million by June 2019.
• Platform tags (Protection, Education, Health, Livelihoods) suggest a multi-sectoral scope.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
