To support the government's ongoing efforts in managing migration, the IOM has organized a three-day training on the Essentials of Migration Management for government officials and civil society organizations. By providing participants with the necessary knowledge and tools to manage migration effectively, the training is expected to contribute to the government's efforts to strengthen its approach to migration management and promote the protection of migrants' human rights in Niger.
The training offered a dialogue platform by convening key actors from various backgrounds and intervening at different stages of migration management, allowing them to share about their work and initiatives as well as exchange ideas and best practices. Participants have been trained on essential topics related to migration management, including the global context of international migration, the development of efficient and sustainable migration policies, the international migration law and human rights of migrants, gender and migration, child migration, human trafficking and migration, environment, and climate change.
