This training strives to provide foundational knowledge and skills to reinforce and solidify Ethiopia's migration management system, including its national migration policy.
Ethiopia is at the centre of mixed migration trends in the Horn of Africa, being a country of origin, transit and destination for different types of movements. These often develop through dangerous circumstances, exposing migrants to a wide range of abuses from criminal networks and law enforcement officials alike. The government has been spearheading significant efforts to respond to such challenges and harness the developmental potential of migration. Despite these commendable efforts to systematize, however, much remains to be done to obtain a sustainable and reliable system that ensures safe, orderly and regular migration from, to and within Ethiopia.
