Data and Research, Mainstreaming Migration into Development Planning

Summary:

For having an empirical approach, data-bases and studies are needed. Moldova, in cooperation with International Organizations, has developed and isstill working on important studies that would provide realistic data on migration:

- Extended migration profile (OIM, 2010) is to be renewed;
- Cartography of Moldovan Diaspora (OIM, ENPI, UE 2012, 2013);
- Migration Profile in Moldova (NEXUS, 2012, 2013);
- Children Left behind are quantitative benchmarks that allow institutions to build need-based and high impact policies.
