EU policy

The MIgration EU eXpertise Initiative started operations in 2009 and ran until April 2024. During its fifteen-year lifecycle, new challenges and pressing responsibilities in terms of migration management and governance pushed partner countries across Asia, Africa, the European Neighbourhood and Latin America and the Caribbean to look for practical and adaptable solutions.

The successful integration of migrants is one of the most discussed topics in many immigration countries. As emphasised in the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, a successful integration and inclusion policy is an essential part of a well-managed and effective migration and asylum policy.

In this opinion piece, Oleg Chirita, Head of Programme, Global Initiatives, shares some good practices and success stories from the last 10 years of implementation by ICMPD of MIEUX, the Mobility Partnerships Facility and the EU Global Diaspora Facility to inform a new generation of tools that will be essential for effective operationalisation of the new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum.
