OPERATIONALIZATION OF PROTECTION FRAMEWORKS on Day1 and with interventions from the representatives of UNICEF, the Government of Cameroon, Save the Children and IOM.

Building on the findings from the first Knowledge Bite published in October 2020, the second issue of the Sustainable Reintegration Knowledge Bites Series explores additional factors contributing to higher levels of sustainable reintegration with a focus on referrals.  

The new video documentary (available with subtitles in English, French and Arabic) shows how the EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration works to save lives, protect and assists migrants all along the migration routes, with migrant rights upheld. A 2-minute trailer is also available.
 
The documentary emphasizes the trilateral partnership with African and EU Member States, showcasing cooperation with partner countries to respond to migration governance challenges and opportunities at sub-national and national levels.

The new Sustainable Reintegration Knowledge Papers Series aims at focusing on aspects of migrant reintegration that have been largely under-researched, not implemented to their full potential, or that have consistently been identified in reintegration programmes’ evaluations as gaps or opportunities.

The first issue of the series focuses on the use of microcredit schemes in migrant reintegration contexts. It aims at  providing reintegration practitioners and other stakeholders, who are considering including a microcredit component in their programmes, with best practices and recommendations collected from reintegration activities in different countries. 

Following the cross-regional seminar held on March 2021, the public webinar presented the module 6, result of a collaborative effort between IOM and UNICEF. The module focuses on the reintegration of children and their families and complements the IOM Reintegration Handbook: practical guidance on the design, implementation and monitoring of reintegration assistance.

During this event, representatives from IOM and UNICEF, together with partners, presented the module and shared lessons learnt when providing reintegration assistance to children and their families. The webinar, held in English and moderated by the KMH, was attended by 240 participants joining from governments, international organization, UN agencies, NGOs as well as universities.
