The *Moving the Migration Policy Agenda Forward (MMPAF)* online program, scheduled for spring 2025, is now accepting scholarship applications. Funded by the European Union (EU) via the Migration Partnership Facility (MPF) at the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), this program is implemented by UNU-MERIT and Maastricht University.

The *Moving the Migration Policy Agenda Forward (MMPAF)* program offers intensive, one-week, full-time online courses tailored for government officials and policy professionals working on migration in regions such as the EU Southern Neighborhood, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, and Silk Route countries. Scheduled between late January and early April 2025, each course provides around 40 hours of immersive learning per week, combining theory with interactive sessions for a well-rounded educational experience.

This program, a collaborative effort by UNU-MERIT, Maastricht University, ICMPD, and the EU, aims to strengthen migration management capabilities through targeted training. The flexible format suits senior practitioners, allowing them to select courses that fit their schedules.

Four distinct courses will be offered, each focused on a specific area: diaspora engagement, migration and development, irregular migration, and policy coherence.

Applications are due by **20 November 2024**. Only selected candidates will be contacted, and there is no cost for those who are chosen to participate.
