MIGNEX Handbook Chapter
9: Country-level policy review
This chapter explains the policy review process and the creation of the MIGNEX Policy Database. The aim of the chapter is to provide the guidelines that are necessary to achieve consistency and allow for comparability between countries.
Key takeaways
We have adopted a broad definition of ‘policy’ to include particular laws, interventions, practices and initiatives, as well as the broader policy environment.
In addition to migration, we cover other policy areas that are relevant to the migration–development nexus, including employment, health, education, security and the environment.
The policy review examines the degree of policy coherence, policy effectiveness and policy influence on the migration–development nexus.
