#City-to-City (#MC2CM)
The Mediterranean City-to-City Migration Project (MC2CM) brings together city leaders, civil servants and local, national and international multi-disciplinary experts to discuss about, learn from and contribute to improved migration governance at urban level, including migrants’ access to basic services and human rights. MC2CM aims at contributing to more open and inclusive cities by drawing on migrants’ potential to benefit cities and their economies.
The project is funded by the European Union through the Directorate General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement negotiations and co-funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.
The partnership for its implementation is one of the key strength of MC2CM capitalizing on the expertise of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) in terms of decentralisation and city-to-city cooperation, on the knowledge of urban development and planning of UN-Habitat and on the competence of ICMPD on migration policy development.
Implemented since 2015, the project concluded successfully its first phase (2015-2018) developing a step-by-step approach for peer-to-peer dialogue to support mutual learning on specific urban challenges and a methodology for developing “urban migration profiles”. Further, this first part of the program supported the definition of policy recommendations on urban migration governance in the Euro-Mediterranean region and the identification of a set of case studies that illustrate how local actors contribute to improved migration governance by fostering social cohesion, intercultural dialogue, employment, housing and provision of basic services for migrants, among others.
