The African
Institute for Economic Development and Planning (IDEP) is a pan-African
institution created in 1962 by the General Assembly of the United Nations. It
began its operations on 21st November, 1963 with the primary purpose of
accompanying and supporting newly independent African countries in their quest
to build their human resource capacities as a necessary prerequisite for
sustaining independence and promoting socio-economic development
Objective of the course
The course aims to guide policymakers in Regional Economic Communities
on the formulation of migration policies that will enhance regional integration
and actively contribute to the implementation of countries' development
strategies. It will provide policymakers with the required knowledge and the
appropriate tools to develop migration policies at the intra-regional and
inter-regional levels. The course will also introduce the participants to the
possible institutional architecture that can enable a better contribution of
migrants to the economic development of destination and origin countries and
which should be defined in consultation with the different national
stakeholders. The African Union’s Migration Policy Framework and its objectives
will be presented to participants who will be invited to consider the ways in
which this framework could be adapted at the level of the Regional Economic
Communities.
Eligibility:
The beneficiaries of the course will be middle and senior
level policymakers in the main Regional Economic Communities in Africa (ECOWAS,
IGAD, EAC, COMESA, SADC, CENSAD, ECCAS and UMA) who deal with specific issues
relating to migration
