2/2 Refreshing to see the needle move on this topic: sustainable reintegration doesn't mean returnees won't migrate again; it's about supporting a comprehensive approach, working on social cohesion with communities, and providing more opportunities, incl. access to legal pathways

Better cooperation between EU Member States is critical, to move away from current fragmentation and enhance joint learning on how to do better in this very difficult area

In today's #IMRF side event, government officials, civil society & international organizations discussed how to move forward with the #GCM’s goal around sustainable reintegration & development
The event was co-organized by @BMZ_Bund @Enabel_Belgium @BelgiumUN @MigrationPolicy 🧵
1/ Stimulating discussion on the link between sustainable reintegration and development this morning at the Belgian Mission to the UN, co-hosted by @BMZ_Bund, @Enabel_Belgium and @MPI_Europe.
6/ @monicagoracci_ emphasised much-needed mind shift in the field, i.e. that reintegration is not treated as endpoint but rather as start. @UNmigration also traced evolution from individual-oriented approach to reintegration (packages) to a locally embedded one.
Today's webinar @MPI_Europe clearly showed the need for further info on the temporary protection mechanism, with @estherpozovera rallying to the cause. @EU_Commission has now launched an info site for those fleeing Ukraine 👇: ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/p…

What can European policymakers do to manage Ukraine’s refugee crisis (2m people as of today) & avoid the perception they're losing control? From quick registration to making the right to work effective & working w/ diasporas

Key takeaways from today's webinar ➡️ 'Briefing on Ukraine: Avenues to Safety and Meeting Immediate Needs' moderated by our Director @HanneBeirens.
Read the 🧵 below:
Join @MPI_Europe today when we discuss the EU response to displacement from Ukraine. migrationpolicy.org/events/u…
1/ The 1st lap has been run: COM released proposal to activate the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) & it now hands over the baton to MS, which will cast their vote on Thursday. If adopted, a Council Decision is to be drawn up & sent to the EP for information.
But what next?
6/ MS will need to bring together reception and settlement actors and combine their expertise, resources and infrastructure. Plus, think through how the - already proactive stance of - Ukrainian diaspora can be mobilised, while not overburdening it with untenable demands.
