Internal and Return Migration Research and Data Management Training for the Government of Angola

A key objective for governments in developing countries is how to effectively integrate human mobility into national and regional development plans and poverty reduction strategies. This project aims to collect concrete and reliable evidence on the interrelationships between migration and development for a global understanding of migration opportunities to foster efforts addressing challenges facing Angola.

IOM, in collaboration with the ACP Observatory on Migration, will lead ground breaking South-South studies and research in Angola and disseminate the findings to fill the gaps identified in the research. The research will promote evidence-based policy making by mainstreaming human mobility into development planning and policies in Angola through recommendations tailored to the Angolan context.

To support the general data collection and analysis of information on migration and development, a training workshop will be organized on several aspects of the migration-development nexus.
