To effectively and efficiently govern migration in MENA, comprehensive and common knowledge on migration is required for government officials and other important stakeholders in each of the MENA countries. The aim is to enhance cooperation and identify a common strategy to maximize the benefits of the migration phenomenon, as well as minimize its costs for the different Governments of the region. This certificate is for government officials, local non-governmental staff, and other relevant stakeholders.
