Skills for Reintegration supports migrants and forcibly displaced people with the decision to return voluntarily to their home countries and with their reintegration process. The main focus is on South-South migration since around 85 per cent of forcibly displaced people worldwide are hosted by developing countries. To prepare migrants and forcibly displaced people for their voluntary return, the project offers professional and personal advice as well as vocational training adapted to local needs. This increases employability and lowers the risk of poverty. Where forcibly displaced people are unable to return to their home countries, vocational qualifications can facilitate integration in the host countries. Professional and personal qualifications are available to migrants, forcibly displaced people and host communities. Skills for Reintegration works with targeted pilot measures in The Gambia, Niger, Kyrgyzstan and Mexico that are designed and implemented by international nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), bilateral GIZ projects or the project itself.
