The funds will be used for projects that slow irregular migration northwards. This includes US$170mn to Guatemala for development, economic, health and security assistance to Guatemala. US$135mn of this will be distributed by USAID and used to conserve biodiversity, scale agricultural technology and improve health access to indigenous communities. Harris is looking to commit US$5.2bn in public-private partnerships to the region through the Central America Forward project.
