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. .
