Course Description

Evidence-based and effective migration policies are necessary in our mobility-rich world. Without them, social and economic opportunities are lost. How to develop migration policies that are strategic, fit-for-purpose, sustainable and coherent with other policy sectors?   

Find answers to this question in the EMM2.0 e-course on the Migration management and the policy cycle II: The seven stages of the policy cycle. This self-paced e-learning module outlines a process to develop sound policies on migration. Using a scenario, it walks learners through each of the seven stages of this process: (1) Issue identification and definition; (2) Data, research and analysis for policymaking; (3) Policy formulation; (4) Consultation; (5) Policy adoption; (6) Policy implementation; (7) Policy monitoring and evaluation. For each stage, it provides concrete steps, which are summarized in job aids.  

This module complements the module “Migration management and the policy cycle I: Developing migration policies”, which provides an overview of policymaking on migration. Both modules should be taken together.
