Objective:
SIDEM aims to contribute to the establishment of an integrated, long-term, development-sensitive and sustainable migration policy framework taking into account Turkey’s socio-economic and human development context. The Project specifically aims to 1) increase the institutional knowledge regarding the impact of migration on geographical regions in Turkey to formulate strategic policy directions; 2) to increase the institutional capacities and inter-agency cooperation at central level to design and implement integrated, evidence-based and development-sensitive migration policies; and 3) to increase the institutional capacities and inter-agency cooperation at regional level to design and implement targeted programmes that promote the labour market integration of international migrants, including those with protection status in Turkey.
