The proposed project will contribute to discussion, analysis and programming that address migration management and will strengthen the capacity of governmental officials and civil society.
Over a period of 18 months, the project plans to achieve the following results:
• Key personnel in government institutions and civil society trained in key areas including migration management, security and human trafficking, labour migration, irregular migration, return and remittances.
• A migration profile with a gender perspective and disaggregated data developed to help to enrich the discussion and analysis of an integrated migration policy.
• The capacity of the Migration Advisory Committee built to contribute to the formulation of an integrated migration policy.
Activities to achieve these results include: Training of key personnel in related institutions, development of a strategy and a training plan; establishing a research team responsible for the preparation of the migration profile and its subsequent drafting; provision of technical meetings and roundtables among institutions responsible for migration policy formulation.
