IOM works in the four broad areas of migration management: migration and development, facilitating migration, regulating migration, and addressing forced migration. The IOM office in Hungary continues to be actively involved in building the Hungarian government’s capacity to manage migration issues through training, and organizing regional and international exchange programmes, conferences and research projects. During this session, the IOM representative will focus on discussing relevant data on recent migration trends and projects implemented by IOM Budapest such as;

* Hungarian Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration Program (HAVRRIP); http://www.iom.hu/avrr/2016-18
