Mid Term Review Of EU-IOM Joint Initiative For Migrant Protection And Reintegration In The Horn Of Africa

In response to the increasing numbers of irregular migrants passing through the different migration routes from the Horn of Africa, the European Union has launched several programmes addressing irregular migration in the region. One of the programmes within this framework is EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration, which was launched in 2016 with the aim to save lives and protect and assist migrants along key migration routes in Africa. The Joint Initiative in the Horn of Africa, launched in March 2017, assists countries in the region participating in the Khartoum Process to facilitate orderly, safe and regular migration through the development and implementation of rights-based, development-based and sustainable return and reintegration policies and processes.
