The International Organization for Migration (IoM) will use a €5 million grant from the European Union to implement a project on improving migration management and reintegration services in Bangladesh.

Lance Bonneau, chief of mission of IoM Bangladesh, and Md Shahriar Kader Siddiky, secretary to Economic Relations Division (ERD) under the Ministry of Finance, signed an agreement in this regard on Tuesday.

The four-year project is titled "Strengthened Service Delivery Systems for Improved Migration Management and Sustainable Reintegration", according to a press release from the ERD.

The project aims to enhance gender-responsive and rights-based migration and reintegration services, promoting safe and orderly migration while ensuring sustainable reintegration of returnees.

The initiative will support the Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in strengthening relevant service delivery systems, as per the press release.

Its two core targets are strengthening migration service delivery and supporting vulnerable returnees.

The IOM has over four decades of experience globally in reintegration assistance and migration governance.

As the migration agency of the United Nations, it plays a crucial role in advancing the UN's 2030 Agenda and the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
