Return migration continues to be one of the least considered aspects of migration policy, despite its crucial socioeconomic significance for countries of both origin and destination. The return to one’s country of origin is an important stage in the migration cycle and requires a multidisciplinary rights-based approach and relevant support mechanisms.

The SURE project aims to address the social and professional reintegration of returning migrants by strengthening the capacity of policy-level stakeholders to design and facilitate evidence-based return migration policies in:
|
THE PROJECT RESTS ON THE FOLLOWING THREE PILLARS:
PILLAR 1 Filling the knowledge gap |
PILLAR 2 Building and reinforcing institutional capacities |
PILLAR 3 Fostering a constructive interregional dialogue on reintegration and development for policy orientation |
| An inventory of the available data relating to returnees and return flows will be compiled for each of the target countries. Contrasts and similarities in the ways in which return and reintegration have been managed by public policies in the four target countries will be highlighted. The data pertaining to return flows in the target countries will be used to trace the regional distribution of returnees. Consultations with stakeholders will be held to assess their priorities when facing the challenges associated with the reintegration or returnees. | An array of training courses to build capacities at sub-regional and national levels will be offered to migration and development stakeholders from the target countries in order to tackle some of the issues pertaining to returnees’ reintegration. The training activities will provide unique opportunities for sharing experience and knowledge. | A high-level policy conference will be organized to foster constructive interregional dialogue. The conference will aim to define ad hoc policy recommendations to support the reintegration of North African return migrants and enhance their contribution to the development of their countries of origin. |

The project is administratively and technically coordinated by the ITCILO’s Social Protection, Governance and Tripartism (SPGT) programme, drawing on its labour migration expertise. The Centre’s activities in the field of migration are linked to ILO global policy outcome number 9 (Providing support for the labour market reintegration of returning migrants and their families) and are carried out in support of ILO MIGRANT. The project activities are also in keeping with the ILO’s strategic objectives in Africa (Providing support for the labour market reintegration of returned migrant workers and their families through close collaboration with Ministries of Labour). |
