Objective 11: Manage borders in an integrated, secure and coordinated manner

The Greek Government is establishing an effective, humane oriented response to the current migration challenges including the need to combat irregular migration and to address the situation of vulnerable migrants, in full respect of human rights and the EU acquis on migration and asylum. The Revised Action Plan on Asylum and Migration Management is the strategic implementation of the Government’s determination to reform the asylum and immigration processes.

The African Capacity Building Centre (ACBC) was established in 2009, in Moshi, United Republic of Tanzania to enhance the migration management capacity of African States, promote comprehensive migration governance and facilitate a diverse range of immigration and border management projects and training courses. The Centre is hosted by the Tanzania Regional Immigration Training Academy (TRITA) and this unique partnership has benefited both in terms of joint training programmes and workshops as well as regional support.

The Migration Information Bureau was set up in July 2006 and it has been in charge of prevention and awareness raising on the risks and costs of irregular migration. The Service has recently launched a documentary to be aired on all the country's TV channels and has been involved in Public Education Campaigns (PEC's) throughout the country, involving lectures, drama, stories of returnees, leaflets and posters.
