The proposed Regional Migration Policy Framework (RMPF) will serve as a blueprint to provide the necessary guidelines and principles to assist governments in the formulation of their own national migration policies as well as, their implementation, in accordance with their own priorities and resources. The policy framework is therefore expected to serve as a comprehensive and integrated reference document and hence non-binding in nature, scope and content. The RMPF document will provide a broad range of recommendations on various migration issues. In this regard, Member States can borrow elements as they deem fit, appropriate and applicable to the country-specific migration challenges and situations.
