The EU-funded “Support to the Implementation of the Mobility Partnership with Azerbaijan (MOBILAZE)” project, implemented in the framework of the Mobility Partnership signed between the EU and Azerbaijan aims to provide a solid ground and real opportunities for direct exchange between countries – signatories of the Mobility Partnership in order to foster responsible migration management.
The objective of the MOBILAZE project is to support the implementation of the Mobility Partnership by strengthening the capacity of the government to develop and implement their national migration policy. The project also aims to improve the monitoring, analytical and forecasting capacities of the government of Azerbaijan in the field of migration; to strengthen the capacities in the fields of labour migration, document security, and implementation of the national asylum policy and sustainable reintegration of returned Azerbaijani nationals. Raising public awareness about mobility matters between the EU and Azerbaijan is another expected result of the project.
Representatives of the Azerbaijani state institutions and other stakeholders in Azerbaijan, the Delegation of the European Union, international experts from Bulgaria, Netherlands and Maastricht University and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) will gather on November 16, 2016 under the Component 5 (related to Return and Reintegration) of the above mentioned EU-funded MOBILAZE project. The aim of the meeting is to organise a focus group discussion to analyse in details the needs of the Azerbaijani citizens returned back to Azerbaijan and possible ways to facilitate their reintegration into the society. The event will start at 09:30 in the hotel Hyatt Regency Baku, Amirov ballroom.
Representatives of mass media are invited for the opening part of the event (interpretation from English to Azerbaijani and vice versa will be provided). The draft agenda and the project info note are enclosed. -0-
