In development
AfreeBack — Diaspora and Migration
Facing the dual challenge of irregular emigration and unstructured return migration, TECKONSEILS designed AfreeBack: a pan-African programme structuring the return and economic reintegration of migrants, and mobilising the diaspora as investors, mentors and technical partners — now under discussion with the International Organization for Migration.
