The Center for International Migration and Integration (CIMI) is an independent organization dedicated to the development of effective practices in the fields of migration and integration.
As globalization results in unprecedented levels of migration, sending and receiving countries, and migrants themselves face a growing need for policies and practices that address the challenges of migration.
CIMI seeks to facilitate effective migration management through knowledge exchange, capacity-building and technical assistance to government and non-government agencies. Activities include courses, consultations and project development.
