Summary:

The Brazilian Government commits to support a National Network of Welcoming Cities (RNCA in Portuguese), a collaborative and voluntary space for Brazilian municipalities and the national government to debate and discuss proposals on decentralized, democratic and participatory governance that supports decision-making in the field of human mobility, including forced displacement and statelessness. 

Concretely, the RNCA aims to: 

  • Support policy development that supports the inclusion of migrant, refugee and stateless populations at local level; 
  • Institutionalize a space for multi-level dialogue; Enable the distribution of grants to support decision-making at the municipal level; 
  • Provide opportunities for exchange and learning; Incentivize the set-up of inter-municipal partnerships and programmes; 
  • Disseminate the principles, objectives, and guidelines of relevant national legislation and policies in the field of migration and forced displacement; 
  • Expand the institutionalization of municipal policies for migrants, refugees, and stateless persons across Brazil.
