🌍 Celebrating International NGO Day! 🌍 Civil Society Organizations and non-state actors are key actors in addressing migration challenges as they support communities, contribute to policy development, and drive positive change. ✨ The MMD Grant Facility values these partnerships and their role in building inclusive and resilient societies. 🏘️ ⏬ Discover below why partnering with CSOs matters! ⏬ #InternationalNGODay #CSOs #MigrationAndMobility #EU #Africa
Why partner with civil society organizations (CSOs) and non-state actors? ✅ One of the 2018 Global Compact on Migration guiding principles is a "Whole-of-society approach.” In today's complex landscape, tackling challenges linked to migration and mobility requires collaboration from diverse stakeholders including non-governmental organizations, community-based organizations, research institutions, diaspora organizations, social enterprises, and other non-state actors. 🌍 Across Africa, these actors play a critical role in the socio-political landscape and in the field of migration and mobility, CSOs and non-state actors not only support local-level authorities in addressing direct needs of refugees and migrants, but also bring unique insights for the development of inclusive and efficient policy frameworks. They are catalysts for fostering improved engagement and collaboration, and for driving positive change. Here are five reasons why partnering with Civil Society Organization and other non-state actors matters: #Migration #Mobility #CivilSociety #Africa #Collaboration #Partnership

🌍 On International Migrants Day, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of migrants to our societies. While migration is a natural phenomenon, factors like conflicts, climate change, and socio-economic challenges continue to shape migration patterns, making it crucial to protect migrants' rights and ensure access to safe and regular pathways. Civil society plays a pivotal role in championing these efforts. CSOs across Africa lead initiatives that support migrants, strengthen communities, and influence migration policy. By empowering local actors, we lay the foundation for more inclusive, rights-based, and sustainable migration systems! #InternationalMigrantsDay #MigrantsDay #Migration #MigrationCooperation #MigrationPartnerships #MigrationPolicy #CivilSociety #Africa #EU #MMD
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. Discover more at: https://lnkd.in/dzBwdJsD 🤝 Migration Dialogues Fostering effective government discussions and enhancing inter-state dialogues on migration policy. They strengthen international cooperation, which facilitates the development of regional and global systems for better migration management. Find more information at: https://lnkd.in/dvJQvJeH 📚 Research: Mapping Legal Pathways to EU Member States Along with country summaries and an online dashboard, researchers, policymakers, experts, and potential migrants can use clustered data on the common requirements; including language, labour market quota, and income. Explore the online tool at: https://lnkd.in/d6nYK-CJ 📢 #ViennaMigrationConference 2024 (VMC2024) This year's conference gathered key decision-makers and experts to address the key issues in the migration governance debates; including labour and protection pathways, managing irregular arrivals, public attitudes towards migration, and the way ahead for the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. 🔗 Discover more about ICMPD's statement for International Migrants Day at: https://lnkd.in/dePqXAW8 Prague Process Rabat Process Khartoum Process ICMPD Mediterranean ICMPD Silk Routes #InternationalMigrantsDay #MigrantsDay #Migration #MigrationCooperation #MigrationPartnerships #MigrationPolicy

Read more about the Khartoum Process’s past achievements and future priorities below!
Today we celebrate a significant milestone! The 🔟th anniversary of the Khartoum Process! And we have a big announcement about the future of the Dialogue: ➡️ Just as the Khartoum Process was established 🔟 years ago at its 1st Ministerial Conference in Rome on 28 November 2014, the future of the Dialogue will be significantly shaped by the upcoming ✨ 2nd Khartoum Process Ministerial Conference ✨ , which has been confirmed to take place in Cairo on 9 April 2025! It will be an opportunity to celebrate past achievements and set future priorities. Over the past decade, we have: ✅ Strengthened cooperation between countries of origin, transit and destination along the migration routes between the Horn of Africa and Europe. ✅ Enhanced capacities to combat trafficking and smuggling of migrants, as foreseen in the Rome Declaration adopted 10 years ago. ✅ Expanded the thematic scope of the Dialogue to a comprehensive approach to migration, in line with the priorities addressed under the Joint Valletta Action Plan (JVAP) and beyond. 🤝 This journey has been possible thanks to the commitment of our partners and stakeholders who share a vision of a safer, more sustainable migration framework. Thank you for being part of this journey! 👉 Read more about our achievements over the past decade in this article: https://lnkd.in/dYUPwJVz 👉 Follow us on LinkedIn to keep up to date with our latest initiatives and impact.
