Euro Mediterranean Migration IV (EUROMED Migration IV) The objective of EUROMED Migration IV (2016-2019), a project financed by the European Union and implemented by ICMPD, is to support EU Member States and ENI Southern Partner Countries in establishing a comprehensive, constructive and operational dialogue and co-operation framework, with a particular focus on reinforcing instruments and capacities to develop and implement evidence-based and coherent migration and international protection policies. In order to achieve this objective, EUROMED Migration IV builds upon the results of the first three phases of the project (2004-2015) and tailors its activities around two pillars: the first pillar facilitates effective North-South and South-South regional dialogues and co-operation in the four main fields of migration and international protection-related matters (legal protection, irregular migration, migration and development and international protection). The second pillar focuses on capacity-building by applying a new outcome-oriented approach that includes sub-regional activities, tailor-made national training programmes and a targeted technical assistance package for small-scale concrete actions for committed partners. Both pillars are supported by a horizontal and cross-cutting thread aimed at accumulating evidence-based knowledge and establishing effective communication in order to contribute to a more balanced narrative on migration. The EUROMED Migration IV project takes an inclusive approach and civil society representatives (private sector, trade unions, universities, local NGOs, media, migrants’ associations and all other relevant civil society actors) will be involved during all phases of the action. Wherever relevant, synergies with other regional and bilateral initiatives will be explored and leveraged if there is clear added value in doing so.

1. Reinforcement of the EUROMED Migration Dialogue and
Cooperation framework
2. A positive approach to migration – changing the narrative
3. Introduction of tools and mechanisms to enhance migration
governance (development of Program Management Tool

Diaspora outreach

3. Key lessons learned & challenges from EMM III
Funded by the
European Union
1. Reinforce the steering role and ensure a more formal and
sustainable relation with European Neighbourhood Instrument
South Partner Countries NPI SPC and EU Member States;
2. Design and provide Tailor-made capacity-building for ENI SPC in
the different fields of migration.
3. International protection and asylum is a key issue in the region
that needs support in terms of regional dialogue and national
capacity-building;

4. Key lessons learned & challenges from EMM III
Funded by the
European Union
4. Continuity of the action is essential; for example on
MPPs it would be important to capitalise on the
outcomes of EUROMED Migration III in countries such as
Algeria, Jordan, Palestine and Tunisia.
5. Cooperation and Coordination among different
stakeholders and initiatives focusing on migration in the
region still represents a challenge.
6. Balanced communication on migration is needed, to
foster the positive impact that migrants can have on
growth in countries of origin and destination.
