🌟 June marked an important moment for the RRF team, with new colleagues coming on board and an opportunity to reflect on the first half of the year. We also took a step back to discuss the experience and insights gathered since the launch of the RRF in 2022. 💬 A highlight of the month was an engaging #workshop on #monitoring and #evaluation, where Danielle Kitchingman-Roy introduced us to a new and comprehensive and automated #dashboard to help us better track and steer our #projects and #activities. 🚀 With busy months ahead, the team is looking forward to continuing the implementation of our work and building on the progress made so far. 👀 Curious to learn more about the RRF?

🕰⏪ Throwback to our observation mission in Senegal 🇸🇳 Last month, in the framework of the Reintegration Amplification (RAMP) and OFII Referral desk project, we conducted an observation mission in #Senegal, in collaboration with OFII and OFII SENEGAL. We had the opportunity to: ✔️ Follow up with project beneficiaries in Dakar and Sandiara ✔️ Meet with the 🇪🇺 EU Delegation and local authorities in Dakar ✔️ Engage with local service providers ✔️ Join a networking event in Ziguinchor The OFII SENEGAL referral desk is a one-stop shop, guiding returnees toward complementary #reintegration services provided by OFII and local partners. Complementary #reintegration services include psychosocial support, vocational training, and assistance in establishing environmentally sustainable businesses for voluntary #returnees from the EU, making #reintegration smoother and more impactful. 🤝It was truly rewarding to see how these collective efforts are contributing to the #sustainable #reintegration of individuals within their communities. 📍 Learn more about our mission and its impact here: https://bit.ly/4jMb6Va #rrf #eu #icmpd #ofii #return #reintegration #westafrica #migration #tbt Lorenzo Musacchio Silvia Donizetti Simon Pierre Niakh

🎤 We were pleased to see Dries Lensen join the closing panel discussion at the 2nd Reintegration Conference, organised by Frontex, focusing on "Sustainable reintegration: the path from initial counselling to impactful reintegration support. Connecting the dots for the best results." 💬 The discussion highlighted why #collaboration between different actors is essential to ensure quality #reintegration support - from pre-return #counselling to sustainable reintegration. By reflecting on the insights of previous sessions, the panel explored practical #examples, organisational strategies, and cooperation solutions that can make a real difference. 👍 We appreciate the opportunity provided by Frontex to exchange ideas on what truly matters: supporting better outcomes for #returnees through collaborative efforts. #icmpd #rrf #return #reintegration #migrationmanagement #EU #cooperation #frontex

✈️ Earlier in May, we carried out an operational #mission to Islamabad (Pakistan) to support the launch of the RRF referral pilot within the Migrant Resource Centre Pakistan — a flagship initiative under ICMPD Silk Routes. 💬 The mission was a great opportunity to engage with MRC #counsellors, offering first-hand #insights into their daily #counselling work and operational realities on the ground. 🤝 We also met with state authorities and #reintegration partners, including WELDO, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Oversees Pakistani Foundation (OPF), and ICMPD’s local team, opening doors for future cooperation. ✅ The mission provided valuable insights that we hope will further strengthen collaboration among key actors and contribute meaningfully to the #sustainable #reintegration of returnees. Step by step, we are building bridges that support long-term, inclusive #solutions. #rrf #return #reintegration #migration #icmpd #pakistan #counselling #MRC #cooperation #EURP #referral #mechanisms
