Enhancing Migration Governance in Nepal: A Collaborative Approach for Strengthening Coordination Mechanism and Knowledge Management (ENGIN)

Building upon the partnership between Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and IOM globally, this project aims to strengthen Nepal's migration governance through enhanced coordination mechanisms, and the promotion of safe, orderly and regular migration practices. The project envisages collaborative efforts among the government, civil society actors, private sector and academia, fostering a deepened understanding of migration impacts and the integration of safe migration practices across sectors. The project will support the government with the development of a comprehensive GCM National Implementation Strateguc Framework. This will involve the establishment of a multistakeholder coordination mechanism and knowledge sharing and management through Migration School. Policy briefs and dialogues on migration and development will be important outputs. The project prioritizes gender mainstreaming, ensuring a gender-responsive approach in capacity-building, policy dialogues, and ethical recruitment practices. It also emphasizes inclusivity by considering the youth and addressing their challenges, promoting environmental sustainability through climate change adaptation, and ensuring benefits extend to those left behind. The emphasis on regular pathways promotes legal and safe migration, contributing to a transparent and secure framework. These cross-cutting considerations enhance the overall effectiveness, inclusivity, and sustainability of migration governance initiatives in Nepal.
