Analysing existing migration frameworks<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

An analysis of the existing migration frameworks is essential to identify gaps and come up with options best suited for refugees and facilitation measures required. Partnerships with migration agencies, legal providers and migration experts are valuable in this area.<\/p>\n

UNHCR Rights Mapping and Analysis Platform (RiMAP<\/a>) provides means to evaluate some of the relevant components and limitations and come up with policy and advocacy messages to influence authorities in making systemic changes to facilitate accessibility and availability of complementary pathways. The following context assessements can also be helpful to this end:<\/p>\n

Key steps in design and implementation of complementary pathways<\/h2>\n

Following the context analysis, UNHCR Operations may consider the following next steps when designing and implementing complementary pathways programming in line with the protection considerations and key principles for complementary pathways:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Identify the most suitable visa options” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Migration law firms and other actors including IOM, ILO, and private sector companies can support in identifying the best legal route, required flexibilities, and options for legal stay and\/or return to the first country of asylum.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Ensure access to identity and travel documents” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Access to refugee travel documents contributes to protection from refoulement. Such documentation also serves as a proof of identity required to access services.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Identify refugee-specific flexibilities” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This can be adjusting financial requirements and guarantees (visa fees), documentary requirements, alternative methods of confirmation of work-\/study-related credentials, and adopting an alternative approach<\/a> to relationship verification for family reunification.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Ensure refugee inclusion in local systems” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Link up with development and local inclusion initiatives to enable access to training, skilling\/upskilling, skills certification, language training and certification. This can include building and improving skilling-to-hire models matching with destination countries’ needs.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Consider partnerships and expansion within the existing migration framework and via bilateral arrangements for training and upskilling of foreign workforce to cover market gaps” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Joint programming with UNHCR and IOM for inclusion of refugees in regular pathways\/the existing migration system for nationals of host countries can be explored.<\/p>\n

In addition to responsibility-sharing, countries of first asylum may benefit from remittances and appreciate the widening protection space. Their role is also crucial in a number of ways, including the issuance of travel documents and exit permits.<\/p>\n
