This project will result in the first migration profile for Afghanistan. The migration profile will be a comprehensive document addressing all facets of migration in Afghanistan. For this work, an Inter-Ministerial Technical Working Group will be established to provide guidance and support to the project. IOM Afghanistan will partner with the Maastricht Graduate School of Governance to implement the project. The project will include a comprehensive assessment of all available data in the addition to the collection of new data.
The migration profile will consist in 2 parts: 1) Comprehensive overview of current migration patterns based on existing migration data sources and acquired new migration data on Afghanistan; 2) Report on circular migration and remittances in Afghanistan.
