Capacity-building for Immigration Officials in Zambia

With a view to improving migration management in the Southern African region, this project aims to build sustainable capacity of the Zambian Department of Immigration to facilitate regular, and prevent irregular migration. By providing the Department with a manual with clear policy guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), this project will enhance the capacity of immigration officials. Twelve identified officials will be trained as trainers, and up to 90 immigration officials will be trained in selected training courses, including fraudulent document examination and transnational immigration crime detection. Furthermore, the curriculum will be geared towards the operationalization of the newly enacted Immigration and Deportation Act of 2010.
