The present Extended Migration Profile (EMP) Report of the Republic of Moldova is a country-owned tool, prepared in consultation with a broad range of government and non-government stakeholders, to be used to enhance policy coherence, evidence-based policymaking and the mainstreaming of migration into development planning. The EMP Report comports four elementary blocks of information and analysis, Part A: Migration trends; Part B: Migration impact; Part C: Migration management framework; and Part D: Main findings, policy Implications and recommendations. In light of this structure the Report offers: a description of key migratory trends and migrants’ characteristics in Part A; an analysis of the impact of migration on development in terms of the interlinkages with demographic, economic, labour force employment and labour market, social and public health development in Part B; a succinct explanation of existing migration policies and governance frameworks within national and regional contexts in Part C; and policy recommendations and actions on how to promote more effective and humane management of migration, ensure policy coherence across various sectors, and help maximize the positive impact of migration on development and minimize associated risks and negative effects in Part D.

Organizaţia Internaţională pentru Migraţie (OIM), Misiunea în Moldova, are onoarea să prezinte rezultatul unei munci de doi ani în domeniul colectării şi analizei datelor care vizează migraţia în Moldova – Profilul Migraţional Extins (PME) al Republicii Moldova, elaborat în cadrul proiectului „Susţinerea implementării componentei migraţie şi dezvoltare a Parteneriatului pentru Mobilitate UE – Republica Moldova”, finanţat prin intermediul Instrumentului European de Vecinătate şi Parteneriat al Comisiei Europene, implementat de OIM. Prezentul Raport vizând Profilul Migraţional Extins (PME) al Moldovei reprezintă un instrument proprietate a statului, care a fost elaborat prin consultare cu un număr mare de actori guvernamentali şi neguvernamentali şi urmează să fie utilizat pentru a consolida coerenţa de politici, elaborarea de politici bazate pe dovezi şi integrarea migraţiei în planurile naţionale de dezvoltare. Raportul PME cuprinde patru blocuri de bază de informaţie şi analiză, Partea A: Tendinţele migraţionale; Partea B: Impactul migraţiei; Partea C: Cadrul de gestionare a migraţiei; Partea D: Principalele constatări, implicaţii asupra politicilor şi recomandări. Prin prisma acestei structuri, Raportul oferă: o descriere a tendinţelor migraţionale cheie şi a caracteristicilor migranţilor, în Partea A; o analiză a impactului migraţiei asupra dezvoltării în ceea ce priveşte interconexiunile cu dezvoltarea demografică, economică, a pieţii muncii şi ocupării forţei de muncă, sectorului social şi a sănătăţii publice în capitolele din Partea B; o explicaţie succintă a politicilor existente în domeniul migraţiei şi cadrele de reglementare în contextul naţional şi cel regional, în Partea C; şi, recomandări de politici şi acţiuni cu privire la modul de promovare mai eficientă şi gestionarea umană a migraţiei, de asigurare a coerenţei între politici din cadrul diverselor sectoare şi de contribuţie la maximizarea impactului pozitiv al migraţiei asupra dezvoltării şi la minimalizarea riscurilor asociate şi a efectelor negative, în Partea D.

The formulated Diaspora Policy Seminar recommendations address mainly (i) the Diaspora Activists/Associations and Policies to Promote Diaspora Networks, as well as Diaspora Involvement and Identification with the Homeland and (ii) the Diaspora Agency and Institutional Arrangements for Diaspora Programming as well as specific thematic/ sectorial policy recommendations.

Such assessment concerns: (i) the accuracy, reliability and validity of the data, (ii) the methodology and the coverage of the data collection, (iii) the frequency of the data collection and the timeliness of the dissemination, (iv) the relevance and usefulness for users for policy support (v) the comparability and compatibility with international standards and (vi) the accessibility and transparency of these data.

Accordingly the DAR assessed the effectiveness of the current data collection by identifying the lack of data and existing gaps with international/EU standards as far as the development and updating of the Migration Profile is concerned.

This report assesses the current Moldovan legislative framework of the assisted voluntary return and reintegration (AVRR) institution, as well as possibilities for strengthening and improving that position. The study was realized within the project Support to the Implementation of EC Readmission Agreements with the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation and Ukraine: Facilitation of Assisted Voluntary Return and Return and Reintegration (SIREADA), implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), funded by European Union and co-funded by Austrian Development Cooperation (2011-2013).

Raportul evaluează atât situaţia curentă a cadrului legislativ şi normativ moldovenesc cu privire la reîntoarcerea şi reintegrarea voluntară asistată (RRVA), cât şi posibilităţile pentru fortificarea şi îmbunătăţirea acestuia şi a fost realizat în cadrul proiectului „Suport pentru punerea în aplicare a acordurilor de readmisie semnate de CE cu Republica Moldova, Federaţia Rusă şi Ucraina: facilitarea reîntoarcerii voluntare asistate şi a reintegrări (SIREADA)”, implementat de Organizaţia Internaţională pentru Migraţie (OIM), finanţat de Uniunea Europeană şi cofinanţat de Cooperarea Austriacă pentru Dezvoltare (2011-2013).

SIREADA ANTHOLOGY presents the main results achieved during project lifetime (March 2011 – February 2013) in all three countries, Moldova, Ukraine, and Russia. Migration management trends, relevant statistics and description of the project efforts and accomplishments could be found here, which illustrate some of the important countries’ efforts to implement the readmission agreements with the EC along with common issues and pertinent differences in the project approaches in these three countries based on their peculiarities as far as migration scale and trends are concerned.

În ANTOLOGIA SIREADA sunt prezentate principalele rezultatele atinse pe parcursul realizării proiectului (martie 2011 – februarie 2013) în toate cele trei ţări de implementare, Moldova, Ucraina şi Rusia. Tendinţele gestionării migraţiei, statistica relevantă, descrierea eforturilor depuse şi a rezultatelor la care s-a ajuns, pot fi găsite aici. Toate reflectă o parte a activităţilor ce ţin de implementarea acordurilor de readmisie semnate cu Comunitatea Europeană. Reieşind din aspectele comune, diferenţele pertinente şi particularităţile individuale ale amplorii şi tendinţelor fenomenului migraţional, proiectul a avut o abordare specifică în fiecare ţară.
