This thematic area of the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development (KNOMAD) led by the World Bank explores the basis of policies to improve return and reintegration outcomes by conducting surveys on reintegration experiences and carrying out workshop and round-tables to discuss policies and experiences on reintegration of returnees; analyzing the impact of return in host communities; identify synergies and similarities on the impact of return processes, including the impact of returnee programmes in the short, medium and long-term.
