Titre : Re.Mi. : Networks for safe migration : civil society, rights, services, work

Pays : Niger
Date/Durée : Actual start 2022/07/27 // Planned End 2025/06/14

Description
The project has the overall objective of reducing the risks of unsafe migration and strengthening the protection of human, social and economic rights for migrants and returning migrants in Niger. In fact, despite the commitment of the government and UN agencies in the fight against human trafficking, in assisting displaced persons fleeing from conflicts and migrants in difficulty in the migration path, the context of Niger is characterized by the presence of many migrants in a highly vulnerable condition and/or at risk of (re)-insertion in the channels of irregular migration. The target of the project can be summarized as follows : -long-standing diaspora communities and working migrants from the Cedeao area -displaced persons and refugees due to jihadist conflicts -migrants in transit towards North African borders -migrants returning, even forced, due to rejections/insecurity conditions in Algeria and Libya The project therefore intends to act on four different levels : (a) Strengthening the synergies and intervention capacity of civil society actors working in the field of migration, diasporas, trade unions and other CSOs - through capacity building on safe migration planning, rights, assistance, guidance and caretaking of migrant persons, with a special focus on women. (b) Facilitating spaces for social dialogue between public and private actors of migration for the revision of norms and the promotion of a welcoming approach to safe, orderly and responsible migration as envisaged in the National Migration Policy documents ; (c) Creating ’spaces’ and ’services’ for migrants at risk or already in a vulnerable condition. (basic medical and psychological assistance, with particular attention to migrant women victims of abuse and violence ; orientation to regular mobility, job placement, registry services - and second level services - vocational training and start of incomegenerating activities) ; d) Implementing awareness and advocacy campaigns, promoting greater awareness of the dangers of insecure migration in the public opinion and migrants.
