Strengthening the link between migration and development: testing an integrated service provider to Moldovan migrants and their communities (NEXUS)
Moldova is heavily affected by brain- and skills-drain/waste as a result of massive migration with over ¼ of its active population being abroad. Remittances support consumption-led economy growth, but their productive investment is less than 10%. This project explores the development potential of migration, by promoting circular migration practices and efficient accumulation and transfer of financial and human capital of migrants and Diaspora.

| Hintergrund |
The Government of Moldova shifted from perceiving migration solely as a social problem, to regarding it as a substantial development opportunity. Important results have been achieved in monitoring and managing migration processes, in developing policies aimed at enhancing the development impact of migration and reducing its negative consequences. The National Development Strategy “Moldova 2020” approaches migration policies from the point of view of human capital retention and the development of a new economic growth model. |
| Ziele |
To foster links between migration and development at the local level, by developing durable capacities and systematic collaboration among national and sub-national authorities, civil society and private-sector stakeholders. |
| Zielgruppen |
National & local authorities, civil society (including Diaspora groups) and private-sector stakeholders. Final beneficiaries 250,000 potential, current, returning migrants, and dependents, vulnerable groups and local communities of/from target countries. |

| Resultate |
Resultate von früheren Phasen: The project builds upon the results of previous interventions by the implementing agency in the region. Some of the results achieved in Moldova, Kosovo and Albania: significant increase in the Government, banks and micro-credit institutions awareness about the development potential of migration; based on thorough assessment of demand, a number of products and services for migrants and their households were developed, tested and implemented (ex.: long-term deposit schemes, trans-national mortgages, internet banking, joint remittance transfer/savings products, etc); marketing and confidence-building actions targeting migrants were developed and implemented by some of the financial institutions involved. |
