Policy Coherence, Mainstreaming Migration into Development Planning

Summary:

The proposed project seeks to localize, mainstream and actualize migration and development (M&D) issues and projects among key provinces, cities and municipalities in the Bicol Region. Among others, the project will establish migration resource centers in the Bicol region. These resource centers will serve as one-stop hubs for services and projects for overseas Filipinos and their families. These centers will also help generate investments to provide Bicolanos with alternative economic options apart from overseas work.
