The overall objective of the EC funded project is to contribute to the establishment of a Migration Management Framework in the Republic of Serbia in line with the EU acquis on Serbia’s road to the accession to EU. The proposed action aims to strengthen the capacity of central and local institutions to align with the EU standards for migration management and the reintegration of returnees. The proposed action intends to assess the implementation of the Strategy for Migration Management, to draft an Action Plan on Migration for the period of 2012-2013, to improve the data collection mechanisms and the systems for sharing data relevant to migration management, to meet specific training needs of local and central authorities, to support the capacity of national and local authorities to plan, monitor and carry out the reintegration process for returnees and finally, it aims at raising awareness among Government, policy makers, media, academia, civil society and the public at large on the dynamics and significance of migration within Serbia. Co-funding requested from the 1035 Facility will be used for the organizing of training sessions and seminars that aim at capacity building of government institutions dealing with migration management under the above EC initiative. All potential donors have been approached for co-funding and IOM Serbia is continuing to try and identify new sources of co-funding during the project implementation.
