✨Nigeria's vision✨ for their Chairmanship of the Rabat Process: Nigeria aims to foster stronger #partnerships, enhance #policycoherence, and deliver meaningful #outcomes across the Rabat Process region. As chair, Nigeria is well-positioned to drive forward meaningful dialogue and actions, working alongside both African and European partners to address the complexities of migration along critical routes. Nigeria’s Chairmanship will particularly promote 🔸regional cooperation, 🔸inclusive migration, 🔸a balanced and humane approach. In collaboration with the partner countries of the Rabat Process, Nigeria is working on a comprehensive agenda, with priority focus on the benefits of migration, particularly emphasising thematic areas such as 🔸youth innovation, 🔸diaspora engagement,  🔸regular pathways 🔸promoting respect for the dignity and human rights of migrants and those in need of protection, with a focus on missing migrants, and  🔸improving data management. Additional thematic areas that might be explored during the chairmanship include climate-induced mobility, combating trafficking in human beings, and sustainable reintegration. By the end of Nigeria's chairmanship of the Rabat Process, the following outcomes are expected: 🔸Strengthened regional and bilateral cooperation, 🔸Increased recognition of the role of youth and innovation in migration,  🔸Enhanced national capacities for effective migration management. 🤝 Nigeria is working closely with all the Rabat Process partner countries to ensure their tenure as chair is marked by meaningful progress, collaboration, and shared success. 👉 Find out more about the Chairmanship here: https://lnkd.in/dYa7ajSM #youth #migration #mobility #regularmigration #migrationmanagement #thb #trafficking #migrationdata #reintegration #development #missingmigrants #protection #humanrights Dr. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, and Poverty Alleviation National Commission for Refugees Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) Hon.
