During this public webinar the pilot scheme for assisted voluntary medical return from France to Georgia, funded by the French Office for Immigration and Integration (OFII) was presented.
The tools, developed through the EU-IOM Knowledge Management Hub (KMH) are a complement to the IOM Reintegration Handbook’s module “A Child Rights Approach to the Sustainable Reintegration of Migrant Children and Families”, co-developed by IOM and UNICEF.
The EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration organized a three-day media training for journalists from across the North Africa region to enhance informed migration reporting, with a main focus on return and reintegration.
During this event, stakeholders, partners and IOM showed how the concept of return counselling has evolved and why it is an essential component of the return and reintegration process to protect and support migrant's agency in the context of return.
The KMH organizes a third English roll-out of the training on Monitoring and Evaluating Return and Reintegration Programmes based on IOM's monitoring and evaluation guidance for Return and Reintegration Programmes.
The production of the sixth Knowledge Bite will be based on the analysis of the Returnee Longitudinal Survey (RLS) data, collected under the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (REMAP).
