Abstract:

The Afro-Euro Migration Dignity (MiDi) concept is a Capstone Project. It is in partial fulfillment for
PhD in Management (by portfolio track). It encapsulates ideas to encourage regular migration on
the Afro-Euro corridor. This proposal has four sections. Section A covers preliminary issues like
organizational introduction, background, rationale and institutional concerns. Section B embodies
pre-project concept analysis. Section C details project description. Section D captures the budget.
MiDi Project is therefore a brand-new idea at the forefront of my work, proposed to contribute
to regularizing Afro-Euro migration. The direct goal of MiDi is to contribute to address implication
and dangers of unsafe migration along Afro-Euro channels. This is to promote dignity, rights and
wellbeing for migrants. As specific objectives, it will facilitate regular migration on the Afro-Euro
corridor for about 150 intending migrants in three years. It will enhance personal development
and economic empowerment (PDEE) among 1,500 potential migrants over three years. It will also
support community cohesion in at least ten target European countries over the course of project
life. It is anticipated that all these will likely strengthen institutional capacity. It would also reduce
desperate migration incidence and tendencies among beneficiaries. It should also lead to greater
social inclusion of migrants in host countries. Its fourth outcome is the strengthening of migration
governance from advocacy-supported evidence-based policy regime. As fifth outcome, MiDi will
also support scholarship by producing primary data, studies and research uptake opportunities.
