Project Description
Objective: The
Sessiz Destek (silent support) project aims to support the Directorate
General of Migration Management (DGMM) in achieving its objective of
devising a development-sensitive and coherent migration policy, with
particular emphasis on the external dimension of migration strategies
and programmes.
Summary:
Following the adoption of the new Law on Foreigners and International
Protection, the DGMM became operational in April 2014 under the Ministry
of Interior in order to i.a. implement migration policies and
strategies. The DGMM serves as the national migration governance focal
point in Turkey. The Sessiz Destek project supports the DGMM in the
conceptualisation and operationalisation of its strategies, and
contributes to its capacity development with a view to developing a
development-sensitive and coherent migration policy framework. Over the
course of the project, ICMPD will provide ad hoc policy advisory
services in parallel to multi-disciplinary workshops and a tailored
training programme on migration and development for government
officials.
Furthermore,
the project will support efforts to ensure policy coherence across all
migration-related sectors and actions of Turkey in terms of their
contributions to development. Coordination and cooperation will be
promoted both within and between the DGMM and other ministries in order
to promote an understanding of the role of migration and its outcomes in
related non-migration sector policies, such as health, education,
housing and social protection.

In verband met geldwolven die denken geld te kunnen claimen op krantenartikelen die op een blog als deze worden geplaatst maar na meestal een dag voor de krantenlezers aan leeswaardigheid hebben ingeboet terwijl wij vreemdelingenrecht specialisten ze soms wel nog jaren gebruiken om er een kopie van te maken voor een zaak ga ik over tot het plaatsen van alleen het eerste stukje. Ja ik weet het: de kans dat u doorklikt is geringer dan wanneer het hele artikel hier staat en een kopie van het orgineel maken handig kan zijn voor uw zaak.
Wilt u zelf wat overnemen van dit weblog. Dat mag. Zet er alleen even een link bij naar het desbetreffende artikel zodat mensen niet alleen dat wat u knipt en plakt kunnen lezen maar dat ook kunnen doen in de context.
