Summary
The main objective of this research and capacity-building project is to enhance the governmental capacities of ten target countries in West and Central Africa to promote a coherent and proactive policy approach to migration by developing national Migration Profiles as a framework for data collection and analysis in support of strategic policy planning at the national and regional levels. With the financial support of the European Commission, the Swiss Federal Office for Migration and the Belgian Development Cooperation, IOM is implementing this project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal, while Migration Profiles are also prepared in Cape Verde and Cameroon.
