The Support Fund for Investments of Senegalese Abroad (Fonds d’appui à l’investissement des Sénégalais de l’extérieur – FAISE) aims to promote productive investments in Senegal by citizens living overseas with the long-term objective of encouraging their voluntary return to the country.

National Remittance Plan (Italy)

Submitted by Mr. Camille Saadé on

Italian authorities have been working on further enhancing the supply of basic banking products for migrants. Since 2011, the National Observatory for the Financial Inclusion of Migrants provides ongoing structured analyses and monitors migrants’ financial inclusion. 

European Qualifications Passport

Submitted by Mr. Camille Saadé on

The European Qualifications Passport being piloted in Greece by various European agencies for the recognition and comparison of international qualifications and skills is another example to emulate. The “passports” confirm the qualifications and skills of migrants based on interviews and credential evaluations so that they can readily enter the labour market.

Skills2Work

Submitted by Mr. Camille Saadé on

IOM offices and partners launched Skills2Work to improve the access of employers and beneficiaries to information and services related to skills recognition.

The Skills2Work project aims to promote labour market integration of refugees by promoting the early validation of formal and informal skills and competences. This is achieved by supporting the reception framework and capacities of relevant authorities, service providers and employers, and by enhancing access to information and services regarding the recognition of skills and qualifications of refugees. 

ProRecognition – Professional & Vocational Qualifications for Germany
