Making Migration Work for Development (MMWD)

Theme: Monitoring of migration flows
Time-frame: From: May 2012 To: October 2014
Geographic scope: Enhance the capacity of public administrations to anticipate and strategically manage the future implications of current demographic change, and specifically of migration, on human capital and labor markets, along with social needs, thus supporting their efforts to effectively address critical challenges for the growth and sustainability of SEE territories
Objectives: 1) To improve harmonization of the knowledge base necessary to anticipate the outcomes of current demographic trends on the growth prospects of SEE regions and cities;
2) To develop policy tools, i.e. reliable population demographic forecasts and impact scenarios, on the effects that predictable demographic and migratory trends will have in the short to mid - term in critical policy areas;
3) To build the capacity of concerned administrations to use such tools for the formulation of effective development strategies, with migration recognized as a relevant feature for sustainable growth;
4) To pilot their application in 2 SEE regions and in the City of Vienna, with a view to test their relevance for the adoption of knowledge-based and comprehensive development strategies;
5) To promote mutual policy learning among SEE stakeholders and ensure that the project tools become common achievements across the SEE area;
6) To promote policy dialogue and consultative mechanisms to reinforcing transnational cooperation aimed to foster transnational cooperation on migration in the SEE region, using policy scenarios to identify common migration-related challenges to be addressed trans-nationally.
Indicators/Outcomes: 1. Reference methodologies for population projections and policy scenarios that take into account migrants and migration movements.
2. A SEE Knowledge Platform accessible at: www.migration4growth.eu
3. Action Plans for Knowledge Sharing across SEE.
