Summary
To strengthen Iraq’s migration governance and reintegration systems (by enhancing capacities for sustainable reintegration, improving evidence-based migration management, and reinforcing border control systems).
The project aims to support both returnees and potential migrants while building resilient institutional frameworks and fostering coordinated, data-driven approaches to migration challenges in line with national priorities and international standards.
Specific Objectives:
• SO1: To enhance the capacity of national and local authorities, and MRCs alongside communities to facilitate sustainable reintegration, and to promote labour market reintegration and economic resilience, in line with the principles of safe and orderly migration (through improved governance frameworks, digital systems, and community-based support mechanisms).
• SO2: To strengthen the capacity of Iraqi authorities to ensure safe, orderly, and well-governed migration and border management, including the facilitation of regular labour migration pathways (through enhanced institutional coordination, digital and e-governance systems, and improved infrastructure and technology that support transparency, data-driven decision-making, and the prevention of irregular migration).
