International Organization for Migration ,Migration Profile Expert for Rwanda

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 go
vernments 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.

· Carry out data
assessments through, inter
alia, identification of appropriate available data sources,
evaluations of the quality of existing data sets, determination of data users’
needs and priorities, and identification of information gaps.
