Cuba
Whilst migration data is collected in Cuba, it is dispersed across different entities and recorded in different ways. It is ultimately not accessible to stakeholders at the local level in a format that enables analysis of characteristics or impacts of migratory flows. Therefore, local authorities cannot assess push and pull factors inducing migration nor design policies that respond to them and promote local development. Further, it is particularly challenging to target the needs of groups that are more often in situations of vulnerability.
This project aims to support enhanced development planning at the local level by improving the evidence base on migration. It plans to achieve this by supporting the development of indicators to enable better collection and analysis of migration data and, subsequently, the incorporation of these indicators in the Cuban local statistical information system (SIET) (Output 1.1). To further support the key stakeholders in collecting and using migration data – the Center of Studies on Demography (CEDEM) and the Center of Studies on Population and Development (CEPDE) – the project will provide equipment and technical guidance on how to use the indicators in SIET. Additionally, capacity development workshops on mainstreaming migration into development planning and on migration data will be provided to stakeholders that need migration data to better plan for local development, such as the Ministries of Interior, Health, Education, Labour and Social Security, Foreign Affairs, local authorities and local demographic observatories (Output 1.2). Finally, guidelines on how to develop briefs based on migration data to support evidence-based policymaking and local development planning will be developed and made available to local authorities and other stakeholders (Output 1.3).
