General information

a. Brief information on the project

The objective of the Better Migration Management (BMM) programme is to improve the human-rights based management of safe, orderly and regular migration and to support competent national authorities in addressing the trafficking in human beings and the smuggling of migrants within and from the Horn of Africa region.

The project is commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and is co-funded by the European Union for the duration from October 2022 to September 2025. The project is implemented by a partnership of British Council, CIVIPOL, IOM, UNODC, and the lead organisation GIZ. The target countries in the Horn of Africa are Djibouti, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda. The BMM III programme has three components: 

• Migration Governance;
• Cooperation on Anti-Trafficking and Anti-Smuggling;
• Protection.

As part of the implementation of the BMM programme, GIZ has a dual role of both coordinating the activities of the implementing partners based on the agreed-upon annual work plan as well as to directly implement certain activities. 

b. Context

The Better Migration Management (BMM) programme supports the national authorities in facilitating migration management grounded in a human-rights-based approach. BMM supports the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) to strengthen its role in protecting and promoting human rights within the field of migration. The CNDH (National Human Rights Commission) is a key partner with whom GIZ is collaborating for a better migration management.

To effectively protect migrants and ensure the provision of adequate services, it is essential that mechanisms for identifying, referring, and assisting migrants are robust.

To this effect, within BMM III, one of the outputs GIZ wants to achieve in partnership with the CNDH under Component 2 is to support human rights institutions to improve their ability to fulfil their mandate regarding migration issues.
