The objective of this project is to contribute to the efforts of the Government of Nepal to manage cross-border mobility and apply evidence-based policy to better protect vulnerable migrants, including victims of trafficking. To achieve the objective, the project will carry out a mapping of migration flows at key border points with India and publish an analysis of the data with a specific focus on migrant vulnerabilities. The project will also review current policies to address cross-border migration and the measures and actions currently implemented on national, provincial and local levels in regard to irregular migration, assess their compatibility with international standards and best practices, and map out cross border migration trends. Additionally, the project will roll out IOM's Reintegration Handbook, train relevant stakeholders including migrant networks/groups and NGOs at local levels to provide sustainable reintegration services to vulnerable migrants.
