Benefiting Member States
Dominica
Dominica is known to be a point of transit for a significant number of Haitian nationals en route to the French territories of Guadeloupe and/or Martinique, however, there is little information available about the nature, size and scope of undocumented migrants arriving to or transiting through Dominica. In addition, records of exits and entries are not available at all border control posts and, hence, the government has indicated its need to improve immigration infrastructure and train border management officials. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this need has become even more of a priority. This project will strengthen the border management capacity of the Government of Dominica and contribute to the prevention of irregular migration. Customised training will be delivered to immigration officers on immigration and border management topics including document examination and counter smuggling will be facilitated and will be followed by the development of a final guidance document. In addition, essential equipment will be installed at specific border control points and relevant staff will be trained to use the devices.
