RETURNET - Promoting an integrated model for return

luglio 28th, 2009

The ReturNet Project aims at designing and testing an Integrated Model for the management of VOLUNTARY RETURN of migrants from  Senegal illegally residing in Italy and Spain. The purpose is to establish new mechanisms to promote the RETURN and sustainable reintegration of irregular migrants in their home countries through a socio-economic approach.

The ReturNet project develops in the first phase the following actions:

a) Benchmarking Analysis about policies and initiatives adopted by EU partners for the return of illegal migrants in their countries of origin

b) Profiling of irregular migrants from Serbia and Senegal

c) Research focused on existing reintegration and assistance return schemes in countries involved

d) Design an Integrated Voluntary Return Model aimed at foster and manage voluntary return

In the second phase the coordinator and the partners will contact groups and community of Senegalese citizens in order to single out a number (20 in total) of them residing illegally in Italy and Spain.

Finally, In order to enhance dialogue and consultations for a better implementation of the RETURN PROGRAMMES, the partners will create a Network (RETURNET). Through this permanent-based Network the partners could exchange  methodology and strategies for the promotion of Return policies and projects.
