Migration plays a central role in the national development of Turkmenistan. However, due to the lack of capacities to collect, analyze and use statistical data, migration has not been factored in as a key variable within the national development plans and policies until today. The objective of the proposed project is to contribute to strengthened migration governance by the Government of Turkmenistan through evidence-based policy making. The project will aim to strengthen the capacity of the government in collecting and analyzing statistical data on migration, as well as their capacity to develop evidence-based policies. The first output will be delivered through a series of training sessions on gender-sensitive data collection and data analysis methodologies. The second output will be addressed through a series of workshops on evidence-based policy making for mid-level government professionals engaged in migration management and development of national sectoral policies.
