RGANIZATIONAL
CONTEXT AND SCOPE

Established
in 1951, and member of the United Nations since September 2016, IOM is the
leading UN agency in the field of migration and works closely with
governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated
to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by
providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

IOM’s
main activities in Rwanda to date are related to the socio-economic
reintegration of returnees in collaboration with the Ministry of Disaster
Management and Refugees Affairs. Following the civil war in DRC, IOM is also
involved in resettlement of Congolese refugees, mainly to USA, Australia,
Finland, Canada and UK.

IOM
also is working with the Government of Rwanda to support to communities in
disaster prone areas. Support is given to the Directorate General of
Immigration and Emigration to enable them to devise a comprehensive and
integrated ICT strategy for border management. Additionally, raising awareness
in preventing human trafficking in collaboration of Ministry of Gender and
Family Promotion and other Government partners. IOM has also worked previously
in the areas of diaspora engagement and labour migration management.

Background

In
partnership with the Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration IOM is
supporting the Government of Rwanda to create a Migration Profile.

Successful
policy development and implementation relies heavily on the availability of
timely and accurate data. Despite the need for timely, disaggregated data in
the field of migration, such data is often scarce and scattered across
institutions, which

can
make it difficult to determine what data is available and to access it.
Additionally, integrating key provisions of the East African Community’s
Common Market Protocol, a migration profile exercise would “bring together
all information relevant to migration and development, thus allowing for a
more appropriate policy approach and contributing to a better understanding of
the policies implemented.”

The
overall objective of the Migration Profile Rwanda is to promote
evidence-based policymaking and support the mainstreaming of migration into
the development policy-making process. Anecdotal evidence shows that
currently, migration-related data is usually kept within the respective
Government institutions that collect it; the Migration Profile exercise would
aim to streamline migration data in a way that it can be used effectively by
policymakers, for the benefit of the country and migrants alike. In addition
to collating data on the current migration situation in Rwanda, the migration
profile and the staff tasked with its execution will be well placed to
provide a comprehensive analysis of the migration situation in the country,
in order to better inform policy-makers.

This
project will result in practical recommendations on how to develop a
methodology for migration data collection, sharing, and analysis that will
include guidance on gender-sensitive and disability-sensitive data collection
and analysis, reflected in Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the
partners. Available migration data and other basic development indicators
will be compiled into a Migration Profile that can serve as a baseline for
further reporting. Government officials directly engaged in the collection of
various types of migration data will be invited to participate in two
training workshops within eight months; the workshops will focus on how to
improve the quality of existing data and promote the updating of the
Migration Profile on a regular basis, allowing the exercise to act as a
long-term capacity-development tool. Additionally, these same officials will
work closely with IOM on developing the SOPs needed for future data
collection in the framework of a technical working group (TWG) composed by
government officials of the partners mentioned above.

The
specific outcomes of this project will be:

The
production of a migration profile to be utilized by the Government of
Rwanda and relevant stakeholders; the report will present the migration
situation in Rwanda through available migration data from a variety of
national and international sources, outline challenges related to the
way migration statistics are produced, and suggest an action plan on how
to overcome such challenges.
Relevant
government institutions have improved institutional capacities to
establish migration data collection SOPs, and manage migration data in a
sustainable manner.
