MRF Dakar in collaboration with the Research Division in Headquarters and with the support of the EC, Switzerland and Belgium, is implementing “Migration in West and Central Africa: National Profiles for Strategic Policy Development”. The program aims at strengthening target countries’ migration data collection methods through the drafting of migration profiles and enhances government capacity to manage migration through concerning technical working groups and targeted training in migration management.
The 1035 Facility funding will provide co-funding for two regional workshops on mainstreaming migration into development plans and strategic policy planning focusing on the implications of the national migration profiles for the development of a coherent regional approach to migration and development and ensuring consistent collection of comparable data on migration and development.
