Operational march in survival enterprises by returned Venezuelan and Colombian migrants

Abstract

International mobility has occurred throughout history for various reasons, especially economic conditions, such has been the case of Venezuelan and Colombian migrants who returned to their native country after living for years or decades in Venezuela, starting from Again, when developing some economic activity that gives them the means of survival. Methodologically, a descriptive research was proposed with a field, transectional, non-experimental design, addressing the variable operational progress of survival ventures, considering the options available in financial matters and advisory services by governmental and non-governmental entities at the national and international level. It was found that the survival ventures formulated have been promoted by the Magdalena Foundation for Microenterprise Development (FUNDEMICROMAG) under the auspices of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Inter-American NGO ACDI / VOCA, generating activities of production of goods and services developed in the municipalities of the Department. The survival ventures that have maintained their operational progress are in the food and textile area with the manufacture of protective surgical suits and implements due to the Covid-19 event, for which they continue to receive monetary and non-monetary assets. It is recommended to focus the survival enterprises that remain operational to reclassify them as sustainable enterprises, including social ones due to their impact on the area.
