IOM will tailor a programme for the delivery of a training course on International Migration Law for government officials of CEN-SAD countries. The course will provide an overview of International Migration Law and focus on the specific migration issues in CEN-SAD countries, such as irregular transit migration, displaced persons, labour migrants, trafficking and smuggling in human beings, and migration and security. The course will be delivered over four days in Niamey, Niger. It will be offered to representatives of the government agencies of CEN-SAD countries formulating migration law and policy as well as those responsible for its implementation. This project will promote the development of migration law and its application in accordance with international law, and will also promote dialogue and cooperation between governments.
