New research reports on reintegration policies and mechanisms in Morocco and Tunisia

Within the context of the SURE project (Supporting the social and professional reintegration of North African return migrants), ITCILO in collaboration with FIERI (Forum Internazionale ed Europeo di Ricerche sull’Immigrazione) has published three new research reports dealing with the issue of return migration and existing socio-professional reintegration mechanisms in Morocco and Tunisia. The aim of the national reports is to map the populations of return migrants in the two countries, on the basis of available data, and to draw up an inventory of existing mechanisms, programs and services in the field of socio-professional reintegration. The purpose of the comparative report is to compare the strategies of the two countries with regard to return and reintegration policies for migrant citizens in order to analyze their strengths, weaknesses and gaps, as well as their evaluation. In conclusion, a number of ad hoc recommendations have been made to support the strengthening of existing initiatives and the development of stronger reintegration programs, allowing return migrants to contribute as fully as possible to the sustainable development of their return communities. .

Launch of first SURE workshop in Morocco

On 17, 18 and 20 December 2018, the Training Institute of the Ministry of Labour and Occupational Integration (MTIP) in Rabat, Morocco, hosted a South-South workshop dedicated to improving the governance of migration for employment in Africa and the Arab countries. His Excellency Mohamed Yatim, Minister of Labour and Professional Integration of Morocco inaugurated the workshop.

This workshop, organized jointly by the MTIP (International Cooperation and Training Institute), the International Labour Organization (Algiers Office for North Africa, International Training Centre of Turin, and MIGRANT), and the Arab Labour Organization, aimed to facilitate the “creation of a space for reflection, training and exchange of good practices”.

Its target audience was high-ranking officials from the labour ministries responsible for migration issues. Eleven countries were represented (North Africa, West Africa and Central Africa): Cameroon, Egypt, Guinea, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Niger, Tunisia, Palestine, Qatar, and Senegal.

The workshop was a first step in a long-term capacity-building plan, designed for the actors in charge of the governance of labour migration.

At the heart of this plan is the development of an innovative training offer, in line with international labour and migration standards, but also with the specific needs identified by the actors in the South. This training offer will rely on a network of trainers and experts drawn from the pool of the best research and training institutes in developing countries, in order to consolidate South-South partnerships and to increase the capacity of these countries to mobilize and cultivate the talent available within them.
