Mexico’s inclusive local integration policies, paired with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency’s Programa de Integración Local (Local Integration Programme, or PIL) and the private sector’s readiness to open its doors, have given refugees a chance to support themselves and contribute to the communities that host them.
Since Mexico made its pledge at the Global Refugee Forum, more than 50,000 refugees have found safety and employment in the country. Over 600 companies have hired refugees through programmes like PIL, and their contributions to the economy are tangible: an estimated $15 million in annual tax payments. These figures tell a story of resilience – but behind them are thousands of individual journeys marked by uncertainty, courage and hope.
