The overall objective of this project is to contribute to evidence-based policymaking and programming related to migration management. Government officials responsible for collecting, analyzing, and publishing migration data require greater understanding of the current migration situation within Mozambique and the skills to continue providing information on migration in order to better equip policymakers. This project intends to assist by developing a methodology for migration data collection, sharing, and analysis as well as through gathering information for a migration profile report which can serve as a baseline for further reporting. Government officials directly involved with collecting this type of information will be trained to improve the quality of existing data and promote the updating of the migration profile report on a regular basis. Also, the same officials will work closely with IOM on developing the tools needed for the collection of data in the future. The gender analysis of migration data will further contribute to an in-depth understanding of how migration affects different categories of the population. The migration profile will include a comprehensive chapter on diaspora including a mapping of the Mozambican diaspora. Migration profiles need to be government-owned to become an effective policymaking tool and ensure sustainability. At the beginning of the project, a technical working group (TWG) will be established to guide implementation.
