Migration and Development Policies and Practices: A mapping study of eleven European countries and the European Comission

Submitted by Mr. Dário Muhamudo on

This study has three objectives:

1) analyze migration and development in Europe;

2) provide input for continued policy discussions on migration and development beyond Europe, and;

3) assist states in identifying possible future directions, as well as common ground for addressing migration as an inherent part of development.

MIDA Ghana Health Project

Submitted by Mr. Dário Muhamudo on

The MIDA Ghana Health project contributes to the development of human resources in the health sector in Ghana. Ghanaian and other African migrants in EU countries can transfer knowledge, skills and experience through temporary assignments to Ghana. Also, health workers from Ghana have the opportunity to engage in specialized training at health care institutions in the Netherlands, Germany or the United Kingdom.

The project is implemented by IOM in close cooperation with the Ministry of Health of Ghana and Ghanaian diaspora groups in Europe.

GIZ Pilot program for non-profit projects of migrant associations (2007 – 2010)

Submitted by Mr. Dário Muhamudo on

GIZ ran a pilot program from 2007 to 2010 to support non-profit projects by registered migrant associations in their countries of origin. The program – besides its local poverty-reducing effects on the target group in the partner countries – had the objective to foster the development of synergetic cooperative structures between the governmental development cooperation agency GIZ and migrant associations in Germany that engage in their respective countries of origin.
