Norteamérica [online]. 2024, vol.19, n.2, pp.35-61.  Epub Oct 20, 2025. ISSN 2448-7228.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cisan.24487228e.2024.2.653.

The aim of this article is to analyze the role of humanitarian governance in the context of increasing human mobility at the U.S.-Mexico border during the period 2021-2023. The methodology used includes a focus group with experts to discuss regional dynamics and propose solutions. The main findings reveal an unprecedented level of human mobility, influenced by the policies of the Biden administration, such as humanitarian visas and Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans. The study highlights the importance of effective coordination among diverse actors, although significant obstacles in communication and collaboration are identified, resulting in fragmented humanitarian responses. It concludes that the protection of human rights and cooperation between governmental and non-governmental organizations are essential for effective humanitarian governance in the Tijuana-San Diego region.

Keywords : humanitarian governance; migratory mobility; Cali-Baja border; migration policies; multi-stakeholder coordination.
