Our presentation deals with the new founded information and management centre in Mali (in the west of Africa), the CIGEM. This centre is supposed to inform about the dangers, which result from migration, to advise people in finding jobs and vocational education and to support repatriates. The project is a pilot project established by the European Union in partnership with the government of Mali. The European Union aims at establishing more of them in every development country to “control” the migration (to Europe) and to help the Africans. © www.daylife.com
The centre gives rise to a lot of criticism by Malians and politicians. The critics complain that the centre only wants to deter people from migrating but isn’t really willing and able to offer effective help. Still it is the first move to a better collaboration between Africa and Europe, concerning migration, and the horrible consequences arising from it.
