EU: ready to help ACP states better manage migration
From CTA
The European Union (EU) remains committed to addressing issues related to migration in the Caribbean and will focus on increasing its value to development, the head of the EU delegation in Guyana, Ambassador Robert Kopecky said at the Caribbean Forum on Population, Migration and Development held on July 9 and 10 in Guyana.
The EU’s assistance towards the population, migration and development related challenges in the Caribbean are based on the Intra-ACP Migration facility, that is a financing agreement signed in 2008 by the European Commission and the Secretariat of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States, to the value of 25 million Euros. The project’s intention is to assist the ACP states “to better understand and manage intra-ACP migratory flows and to maximise their impact. The direct beneficiaries are principally the migrants themselves and the different entities participating in the process of consultation on the theme of `migration and development.”
