LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN: The Danish Refugee Council and the Norwegian Refugee Council join forces to launch the website of ProLAC: a protection information management initiative for Latin America and the Caribbean

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) with the support of the European Union - Humanitarian Aid have launched the ProLAC Initiative’s website https://prolac.live/ in English and Spanish language.

ProLAC is a regional protection information management initiative open to other national and international humanitarian organizations and offers a harmonized protection monitoring system currently implemented in 9 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru). This system facilitates the design of evidence-based protection analyses to enhance appropriate, effective, and efficient protection and humanitarian responses at the regional, national, and local levels. ProLAC’s harmonized protection monitoring system also facilitates humanitarian coordination by overcoming fragmented protection analyses and providing comparable data and information across countries.

The ProLAC Initiative field implementation started in October 2024 and its website provides information about the program, the implementation areas, the humanitarian organizations member of the initiative, and contains all published regional protection analyses as well as the ProLAC Initiative’s interactive dashboard.
