Since 2018, LINK 2007 has been actively involved in the implementation of projects focused on the nexus between migration and development in West Africa. The event’s goal is to present the project Personal fulfilment as an alternative to migration and the results achieved, to propose a reflection on the link between migration and development and the need for joint and coordinated actions among the various actors to maximize the benefits of migration for sustainable development.
PROGRAM The event’s goal is to present the project Personal fulfilment as an alternative to migration and the results achieved, but also to propose a reflection on the intrinsic link between migration and development and the need for joint and coordinated actions among the various actors to maximize the benefits of migration for sustainable development.
The project, financially supported by the DGIT of MAECI, was carried out by LINK 2007 in partnership with LVIA, CISP, the association Le Réseau, and the Pan-African association JVE (Jeunes Volontaires pour l’Environnement), over a period of 17 months. The project aimed to strengthen the possibilities for young people in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger to take advantage of the diverse and numerous training, job placement, and business creation opportunities available in their countries, enabling them to consciously choose life paths starting from the opportunities offered in their own countries.
The webinar, moderated by Mehret Tewolde, Vice President of the association Le Réseau, will feature participation from Deputy Director General / Central Director for Migration Policies and International Mobility Stefano Bianchi, Deputy Director General / Central Director for General Issues of Development Cooperation Laura Aghilarre, Director of the Subregional Office for West and Central Africa of UNDP Njoya Tikum, and President of the International Diplomatic Institute Paolo Giordani. To discuss the project and present the results achieved, the project partners will intervene, including LVIA Sahel Desk Officer Giovanni Armando, President of the association Le Réseau Cleophas Adrien Dioma, Representative of JVE Burkina Faso Olivier Tuina, and Representative of the Burkinabe Association in Italy Sally Maiga. Finally, the Investment Manager of Banca Etica Filippo Vettorato and Director of CISP Alessandro De Luca will present the future perspectives of the project.
There will also be a discussion moment with webinar participants through a Q&A session. The final remarks will be entrusted to Luigi Vignali, Director General for Italians Abroad and Migration Policies, DGIT.
