Migration: EU Expertise (MIEUX)
Migration: EU Expertise (MIEUX) is a Joint EC-ICMPD initiative that aims to enhance the capacities of third countries to better address irregular migration and mixed migratory flows as part of a comprehensive approach to migration management. It does so by deploying experts from European Union Member State (EU MS) administrations to support, enhance and strengthen migration management capacities in third countries. As such, MIEUX encourages the peer-to-peer transfer of expertise and know-how to beneficiary countries. Details

The Budapest Process is a consultative forum of more than 50 governments and 10 international organisations, aiming at developing comprehensive and sustainable systems for orderly migration.
