Intern Project POMIRE South-South

The South-South Potentials of Migration and Social and Economic Reintegration (POMIRE) project, entitled “Valuing the potential of diasporas through South-South cooperation: Entrepreneurship and job creation”, is co-financed by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It is implemented by GIZ in partnership with the Ministries responsible for diasporas in the six countries of the project: Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia.

The project contributes to strands 1 "Legal migration and mobility" and 5 "Migration & Development" of Team Europe initiatives in the field of migration for the Atlantic/Western Mediterranean Route and the Central Mediterranean Route. South-South POMIRE aims to achieve the common vision for 2030 set out at the last summit between the European Union and the African Union, held in February 2022.

The overall objective of the Action is to enhance the potential of diasporas for socio-economic development in the target countries. Its specific objectives are to strengthen South-South institutional cooperation for diaspora engagement, to promote the support of diasporas by public and private structures specializing in entrepreneurship and employment, and to improve information in the media on the potential of diasporas for development in target countries.
