Implemented on behalf of BMZ, the programme offers advice to government and civil society partners with the objective of reaching a coordinated and holistic migration policy, improving networking among multiple actors, and strengthening cooperation between political entities. The inclusion of civil society in the process contributes to checks and balances in Niger's fragile democratic system and reduces the risk of conflict. To this end, the project has supported an initiative of the local NGO "Youth-childhood-migration-development" to create a civil society network on migration. The network facilitates an exchange on migration topics and strengthens coordination among civil society actors. Members have received training on topics, including human rights and gender. Regular exchanges between civil society and government actors have strengthened reciprocal acceptance, soundly illustrated by government workshops to draft migration policy, which have been moderated by a member of civil society.
