comments:

The target users are the MoLSA and BoLSAs and in the perspective lower levels of migration management. The migrant should also benefit as the collection and transfer of documentation would be faster and easier.

challenges:

Lack of government funding of the MDMS is not foreseen in the GoE’s 10-year strategy plan.

success:

The ILO is positive in its efforts to raise funding for the continuation of the activity.

context:

The MDMS is a high priority activity which is essential for the decentralization and modernisation of the migration governance in Ethiopia.

description:

The current project took over a number of high investment initiatives from an earlier EU funded project. The GoE did not have the funds allocated for taking over maintenance of some of these example the Migrant Data Management System therefore they were continued and further developed under the current project, but by the end of this project the government still is not ready to take over the financing of the maintenance of the MDMS, this creates a situation where the ILO has to find funding to continue the system as all the prior investment would be last if the implementation of the MDMS is discontinued. The ILO should request a timebound commitment from governments when initiating activities which requires significant long-term investment.

administrative_issues:

The ILO will have to use resources both human and financial for securing the continuation of the implementation of the MDMS.
