The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) would provide Euro 5.0 million as grant to Bangladesh for improved migration management and sustainable reintegration.
The IOM signed a grant deal to this effect with the Economic Relations Division (ERD) on Tuesday.
Md Shahriar Kader Siddiky, Secretary of the ERD, and Lance Bonneau, Chief of Mission, IOM Bangladesh, signed the agreement.
Under the "Strengthened Service Delivery Systems for Improved Migration Management and Sustainable Reintegration project", the IOM will help the Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to strengthen Bangladesh government's steps relating to migration and reintegration.
The European Union would provide the fund to the IOM and it will be utilised in next four years.
The objective of the project is to contribute to strengthening gender-responsive and right-based migration and reintegration services in Bangladesh that would ensure safe and orderly migration practices and sustainable reintegration of migrants and returnees.
