eXpertise (MIEUX) –<br />
Forging Global<br />
Migration Partnerships<br />
In <strong>2015</strong>, after seven successful years and a hundred received<br />
requests, the EU-funded MIEUX Initiative continued delivering<br />
short-term capacity building support in more than forty<br />
countries across the world. It is aimed at the consolidation<br />
of partner countries’ expertise in all areas of migration and<br />
mobility. MIEUX is a fast, flexible and demand-driven initiative.<br />
MIEUX is an EU-funded global facility strengthening<br />
the migration governance capacities of governments<br />
in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America<br />
by mobilising experts from EU Member States and<br />
other countries to share experiences with their peers<br />
in MIEUX partner countries.<br />
In <strong>2015</strong>, MIEUX supported the efforts of partner<br />
countries in a range of national migration management<br />
tools, strategies, policies and legislation. As a<br />
pioneering initiative, MIEUX has continued to deliver<br />
significant results both in terms of the scope of<br />
interventions and their outcomes. As such, MIEUX<br />
has pursued its objectives to build bridges between<br />
the EU and partner countries, equip partners with<br />
tailor-made practices, enhance migration under s-<br />
tanding and narratives, and bring together various<br />
stakeholders in view of setting national and regional<br />
migration goals, as well as opening up new cooperation<br />
opportunities.<br />
MIEUX provides expertise on legal migration, asylum,<br />
irregular migration, and migration and development.<br />
For example, its action in Mexico aims to strengthen<br />
national capacities to identify and protect unaccompanied<br />
minors. In West Africa, MIEUX focuses on the<br />
potential that mobility presents to adapt to climate<br />
change and environmental catastrophes. Further<br />
re sults from <strong>2015</strong> are the jointly crafted National<br />
Strategy and Action Plan Against Trafficking in Human<br />
Beings in Côte d’Ivoire, as well as the Malawian<br />
National Diaspora Engagement Policy.<br />
At the same time, MIEUX is a facility for EU Member<br />
States. The deployed experts are exposed to new<br />
practices and professional environments, reinforcing<br />
existing cooperations while fostering new ones.<br />
Going forward, MIEUX intends to broaden its outreach<br />
to include new actors, such as local administrations,<br />
parliamentary bodies, the judiciary, etc. MIEUX will<br />
run until December 2019.
