Today is International Migrants Day 🌍 ICMPD highlights that effective migration governance requires a comprehensive framework for migrants and migration routes, including the development, protection capacities, and socio-economic standards of countries of origin, transit, and first asylum countries. 📌 Amid a year of escalating wars and conflicts, rising climate change, and socio-economic challenges, we reflect on ICMPD's efforts with Member States and partner countries in various migration areas: 🌐 ICMPD’s Migrant Resource Centres (MRCs) Providing (potential) migrants with information on access to safe and regular pathways, advice on scholarship and employment opportunities abroad, tailored services to improve preparedness, and, in some cases, reintegration services upon return.

The Document Examination Essentials (DEE) Course, held from December 9–13, 2024, in Tunis, was organised by the EU-funded EUBMTLY project in collaboration with the Training Institute on Migration Capacity Partnership for the Mediterranean (MCP MED TI) as part of our capacity-building component. A key highlight of the training was the participation of Libyan co-trainers, who led the event alongside the MCPMED TI trainers. This aligns with one of the core objectives of the EUBMTLY project: supporting our Libyan partners with essential training skills that enable them to cascade knowledge and strengthen capacities within their respective institutions. We would like to thank Hassan Harake and Tarek Al Halabi from the MCP MED TI for their expertise and dedication, which significantly enriched the training sessions. We were also honoured to welcome Davide Silvestri from EUBAM Libya, who shared insights into EU best practices. His contribution highlighted the importance of cooperation between ICMPD and EUBAM in Libya, reaffirming our shared commitment to strengthening Libyan institutions and enhancing capacities for effective border and document management. #DocumentSecurity #CapacityDevelopment #EUBMTLY #EU #EUCommission #EUfunded #ICMPDinLibya #MCPMedTI #MigrationCapacityPartnerships #MCPinAction #TogetherWeDeliver #professionalisation #EUBAMLibya

#InFocus 🌍 A mapping of labour migration pathways across the 27 European member states is now available, under the research project “Re-thinking approaches to labour migration. Potential and gaps in EU Member States’ Migration Infrastructures”. The project mapped labour market needs and analysed the national migration systems of all EU member states between early 2023 and early 2024: 📌  The research is packaged into 27 concise summaries and corresponding infographics. 📌 An online tool is available to visualise pathways by country or cluster information for multiple countries based on common criteria such as language, labour market quotas, and income. 💡 Common criteria such as language proficiency, labour market quotas, and salary thresholds apply to nearly 300 pathways into the EU-27. 💡 Key sectors for labour migration in EU member states include construction, healthcare, agriculture, tourism, transportation, manufacturing, and ICT. 💡 The twin transition in the green and digital sectors is expected to drive growth and heighten demand for skilled professionals. Ralph Genetzke, ICMPD Brussels Mission Director, shared: 💬 “We hope these products will prove useful for all, especially for practitioners, private sector and professional associations designing labour mobility schemes; and policymakers or researchers wishing to exchange knowledge on this topic. We encourage active engagement and sharing within your networks.” Looking ahead to #MigrantsDay 🔗 Discover more at: https://lnkd.in/dtJcsfmy 🔗 Explore the online tool at: https://lnkd.in/d6nYK-CJ 🤝 The research project was funded by the European Union and commissioned through the ICMPD-led Migration Partnership Facility.

One of the most read publications hosted on our website is our study on the #rootcauses of emigration in #WestAfrica, published in 2018: "Social Immobility versus - Social Mobility the Root Causes of International Emigration”, written by Nelly ROBIN of the IRD (French National Research Institute for Development). Favouring a #qualitativeresearch approach, this study proposes to examine the causes of emigration in the Rabat Process region from the perspective of the main actors of migration – aspiring migrants, migrants and their families. The study was initially carried out to inform discussions at the Rabat Process Thematic Meeting on Root Causes held in Paris in October 2018. ➡️ Access the full study in English and French here: https://lnkd.in/d7D_QqAJ #emigration #migrationdrivers #pushfactors #pullfactors
