Report on Furthering an Improved Social Protection Platform for Women Migrants in the Dominican Republic

LHSS aims to improve social health protection (SHP) platforms within the Latin America and Caribbean region to meet the needs of women in high-migration areas, by providing technical assistance to the Dominican Republic and Honduras to increase their capacity to adapt, finance, and implement appropriate SHP platforms, and to capture and disseminate learnings from these experiences to key stakeholders in the region for broader application. This report describes the interventions and key outcomes achieved by the LHSS activity in the Dominican Republic during its first year of implementation and proposes detailed steps to pilot initiatives that aim to improve SHP for migrants (including women) in the Dominican Republic. Findings from this report can serve as an example of an intersectoral, locally led process to improve SHP for women migrants in a country with high migration flows.
