Methodological report – Impact Evaluation of the EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration in the Horn of Africa region

Large-scale global migration is a growing reality for people across the globe, with 258 million international migrants globally in 2017. The EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration in the Horn of Africa supports migrants who decide to return to their countries of origin to do so in a safe and dignified way.

IMPACT – Impact Evaluation of the EU-IOM Joint Initiative Programme for Migrant Protection and Reintegration (Horn of Africa) aims to evaluate the impact of the programme on returnees’ reintegration; to improve the understanding of the concept and measurement of sustainable reintegration and design a robust methodological approach that can provide a standard for evaluation of future reintegration programmes.
