Drafted in 2010 and adopted in 2012, this national strategy involves seven ministries, focuses on three sector-specific areas (migration and development, migration and vulnerable groups, and border control and protection of migrants), highlights two cross-cutting areas (knowledge of migration phenomena and the legal framework for migration management), and addresses migrants’ rights, expatriate engagement, human trafficking and migrant smuggling, asylum management, irregular migration and border management.
