In Côte d'Ivoire, returning migrants and community members were trained on a rice farming project through the EU-IOM Joint Initiative. The objective of this project is to contribute to the sustainable reintegration of returnees by creating community-based projects contributing to the development of the community of Yobouekro. Launched in December 2016 with funding from the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF), the EU-IOM Joint Initiative for the Protection and Reintegration of Migrants is the first global programme to save lives, to protect and assist migrants along key migration routes in Africa.
