ICMPD Mediterranean

🤝 We are delighted to announce that Ireland is the 21st Member State to join ICMPD’s work in finding innovative solutions to regional migration challenges. Ireland holds an active role in migration dialogues supported by ICMPD, such as the Budapest Process and Prague Process; as well as developing a guide to integrate recently arrived migrants in the region (SPRING); policy research, information sharing, and capacity-building on the Medical Country of Origin (MedCOI) initiative; and in developing methods and strategies to assist survivors of trafficking, sexual abuse, and exploitation of children particularly those committed using online channels (HEROES Project). Irish Minister for Justice Helen McEntee TD, said: 💬 “Global migration is increasingly complex and multifaceted. Ireland cannot go it alone; effective migration policy cannot be developed or implemented in isolation. Ireland becoming a member of the International Centre for Migration Policy Development is very welcome, and brings a wealth of expertise which will be an invaluable resource to Irish policymakers." We look forward to deepening and expanding our cooperation! 🔗 Discover more at: https://lnkd.in/d2K5QJsQ #MigrationCooperation #MigrationPolicy #BudapestProcess #PragueProcess Department of Justice

🌟 Exciting Milestone Achieved! 🌟 We are excited to announce the successful completion of 10 National Pilot Trainings conducted by 9 highly skilled national trainers who were certified during the project's second phase. These trainings were delivered to 200 participants from the Jordanian Security Agencies. These trainings aim to share knowledge, enhance the capabilities of officers on the front lines, and refine the skills of national trainers in delivering trainings. They also aim to bridge the first and second phases by sustaining the work of national trainers who were trained in the first phase and leveraging their expertise to support new trainers. Some of these training sessions took place at Jordanian land border crossing points, providing a practical and impactful learning environment. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in making this achievement possible! Your commitment to excellence and dedication to training and development is truly inspiring. Together, we are making a difference! 💪 #Training #Jordan #ProjectSuccess #MigrationCapacityPartnerships 🌟 تحقيق إنجاز مميز! 🌟 يسرنا أن نعلن عن استكمال 10 تدريبات وطنية تجريبية قام بها 9 من المدربين الوطنيين الذين تم اعتمادهم خلال المرحلة الثانية من مشروع أمن الوثائق في الأردن. وقد تم تقديم هذه التدريبات إلى 200 مشارك من الأجهزة الأمنية الأردنية العاملة على الحدود. تهدف هذه التدريبات إلى مشاركة المعرفة وتعزيز قدرات الضباط في الخطوط الأمامية وصقل مهارات المدربين الوطنيين في عملية تقديم التدريبات. كما تهدف إلى ربط المرحلتين الأولى والثانية من خلال استدامة عمل المدربين الوطنيين الذين تم تدريبهم في المرحلة الأولى، والاستعانة بخبرتهم لدعم المدربين الجدد. أقيمت بعض هذه الدورات التدريبية في المراكز الحدودية الأردنية البرية، لتوفير بيئة تعليمية عملية من أرض الواقع. شكرًا جزيلًا لكل من ساهم في تحقيق هذا الإنجاز! إن التزامكم بالتميز وتفانيكم في التدريب والتطوير هو مصدر إلهام حقيقي. معًا نصنع الفرق! 💪

📌 Highlights from the Consultative Workshop on the Human Rights Training Module 📍 Tunis, Tunisia – 📆 15-18 July 2024 Last week, the EU-funded "EU Training Support to Libya’s Border Security and Management Institutions (EUBMTLY)” project launched the initial work to develop a human rights training module through a four-day Consultative Workshop, which was attended by representatives from the Libyan Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defence and Libyan Customs Authority. The event provided a valuable opportunity to discuss human rights and the importance of using a human rights-based approach in border security and management training. It covered the international human rights framework and evaluated the training needs of the participating institutions. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and practical exercises, participants were able to define training objectives for a human rights training module that meets the specific needs of their institutions. Thanks to the insights gained from this workshop, the project team, in collaboration with Libyan colleagues, will develop a tailored training module based on the participants' constructive feedback. This module will be the foundation for delivering a vocational train-the-trainer course and conducting further training sessions. Additionally, as part of the broader institutional development, the training curriculum will be integrated into the national training program. Libyan trainers will lead the very first institutionalized training session on human rights, teaching their peers and setting a precedent for future training. This initiative is part of the project “EU Training Support to Libya’s Border Security and Management Institutions (EU-BMT-LY)”, funded by the European Union and implemented by ICMPD. It aims to support the #professionalisation of selected training centres, enhance institutional standards and capabilities, and provide content support on migration and border management aligning with international human rights standards.   #EU #EUCommission #EUfunded #ICMPDinLibya #MigrationCapacityPartnerships #MCPinAction #TogetherWeDeliver

I had the privilege to accompany the Director General of ICMPD, Mr. Michael Spindelegger, at the ministerial event "Trans-Mediterranean Migration Forum" in Tripoli on 17th July 2024. Mr. Spindelegger was invited by the Government of National Unity of the State of Libya. The forum saw representation from many nations by their top diplomats, including the Prime Ministers of Italy, Malta, Chad, and Libya; Vice President of the European Commission, Mr. Margaritis Schinas; dozens of ministers; migration experts; Head of Mission of EUBAM, Jan Vyčítal; and key UN agencies such as UNHCR and IOM. The event featured a packed program, reflecting the complexity and urgency of migration issues. It will take time to analyze the results and determine if this marks a starting point or a continuation of ongoing efforts. However, there is a shared understanding among the represented states: migration is a complex issue, and "patching the holes" is no longer a viable policy. Yet, the sense and desire for genuine cooperation may have never been stronger. Let's make the best use of this opportunity. #Libya
