The MOBILAZE 2 project started in Azerbaijan in June 2021 to support the implementation of the Mobility Partnership with the EU. The project is funded by the EU and supports the implementation of an evidence-based migration and border management policy agenda in Azerbaijan, and will run for 36 months.
The project was developed in close cooperation with national institutions of Azerbaijan and focuses on migration and border governance and management skills; contribution to improved migration data, research and analysis; and awareness-raising of the Azerbaijani society on migration.
The MOBILAZE 2 project is a direct follow-up to the MOBILAZE 1 project which ran from 2016 to 2019 when ICMPD was tasked by the European Commission to implement the MOBILAZE 1 to support the fulfilment of the objectives set in the Mobility Partnership between the EU Member States and Azerbaijan signed in 2013.
