MIGRACIDADES PLATFORM

The “MigraCidades: Enhancing Local Migration Governance in Brazil” platform is the result of a partnership between the UN Migration Agency (IOM) and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), with support from the National School of Public Administration (ENAP), and aims to build the capacity of local actors, foster dialogue on migration, certify government engagement in enhancing migratory governance, and give visibility to best practices identified in Brazilian states and municipalities throughout the certification process.

10 DIMENSIONS OF MIGRATION GOVERNANCE

MigraCidades was designed to help local governments to assess, strengthen and establish migration policies. To achieve this, the project considers ten essential dimensions that will be taken into account in the dialogue and certification process.

Institutional framework for governance and local strategy

This dimension considers the existence of strategies, institutions and focal points designated to coordinate actions related to migration.

Capacity-building of government employees and awareness-raising about migrants’ rights

This dimension considers the availability of specific knowledge necessary for public servants to provide qualified services to migrants.

Social and cultural participation of migrants

This dimension considers the social participation of migrants in the policies aimed at them, through listening and consultation during the elaboration, implementation, and evaluation of public policies.

Transparency and access to information for migrants

This dimension considers the existence and availability of clear and transparent information on the rights and duties of migrants in Brazil and on access to public services to which they are entitled.

Institutional partnerships

This dimension considers the collaboration between different institutions, bodies and sectors that are involved on migration and considers formal and informal partnerships.
