The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the livelihoods of many migrants, raising serious concerns about the preservation of their well-being and rights. As El Salvador is a country of migrants, analysing the impact of the pandemic on livelihoods and well-being becomes relevant to its recovery. This document describes the main findings of the UNDP-IOM initiative to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on households with migrants in the department of La Unión, specifically in the municipalities of La Unión, Santa Rosa de Lima and Pasaquina. It also seeks to develop a socio-economic response plan focused on migrants in the context of the pandemic, to support them in the process of being protagonists of their own development and recovery.
