Capacity Building

This programme concerns labour migration which has played a key part in reducing poverty levels in Central Asia, particularly in the two poorest countries, where the UK Department for International Development (DFID) has bilateral programmes – Kyrgyzstan (KRG) and Tajikistan (TJK) – where most communities, especially in rural areas have large number of labour migrants abroad, mainly to the Russian Federation (RF) and Kazakhstan (KZK).

The Dias De Cabo Verde project (Diaspora for Development of Cape Verde), was initiated by the Cape Verdean Institute of Communities, with IOM as the main implementing partner. It aimed at mobilizing the human, social and professional resources of Cape Verdeans living abroad towards the capacity-building of key development sectors in Cape Verde, such as health, education, infrastructure and tourism.
