ICMPD MIGRANT RESOURCE CENTRES (MRC)

https://www.migrantresources.org/

What do the MRCs do?

In collaboration with its partner countries, ICMPD has established and operates Migrant Resource Centres (MRCs) in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Tajikistan in order to help people make informed decisions when considering to migrate. They provide outgoing, intending and potential migrants with information on a broad range of migration-related challenges and opportunities.

How do they work?

A team of counsellors provides consultations in person, by phone and via other online platforms, and raises awareness of the benefits of safe and regular migration and the dangers and consequences of irregular migration. The MRCs are located in the capitals and/or major cities of the Silk Routes countries: Bangladesh, Iraq, and Pakistan, Tajikistan as well as a virtual centre for support and guidance of Afghans

What do they provide?

The Migrant Resource Centres strive to provide:

Clear and understandable information to outgoing, intending and potential migrants on possibilities for safe, legal and orderly migration, as well as rules and regulations, including relevant pre-departure information.
Pre-departure orientation (where applicable) and information on work and living conditions abroad, rights and obligations, access to protection mechanisms and information on return processes and referral to reintegration support upon return.
Awareness raising of potential migrants and local communities on the risks, dangers and consequences of irregular migration.
Information on return processes and referral to reintegration support upon return.
