Interrelations between Public Policies, Migration and Development: Case studies and policy recommendations (IPPMD)

In January 2013, the OECD launched the project, “Interrelations between Public Policies, Migration and Development: case studies and policy recommendations”, which aims to enhance partner countries’ capacity to incorporate migration into the design and implementation of their development strategies. The project seeks to better understand how international migration affects non-migration related public policies, and conversely, how these affect migration.
The project will provide empirical evidence on the interrelations between migration and public policy based on quantitative and qualitative fieldwork at the country level. The methodological framework of the project has been developed by the OECD Development Centre and is implemented in each of the ten partner countries by local research partners, who are collecting new and unique data through the use of household surveys, community surveys and qualitative stakeholder interviews.
The project specifically aims to:
• Develop evidence-based analysis on:
-The significance of migration in low- and middle-income countries’ development strategies.
- The impact of both migration and non-migration related public policies on migration patterns and the situation of migrants.
- The effect of migration-related decisions on other policy domains and ultimately on the socio-economic development of origin and destination partner countries.
• Increase awareness among partner countries’ relevant interlocutors and provide them with policy recommendations on:
10
- How to incorporate the migration dimension into the design and implementation of their development strategies and other sectoral policy areas.
- How to ensure coherence between migration and other policy areas.
• Provide relevant stakeholders, both in the EU and partner countries, with guidance for policy dialogue.
