🎉 Join us to celebrate and reflect on the 10th anniversary of Migrant Resource Centres (MRCs). The MRCs are multi-purpose service points for migrants, returnees and communities - one of ICMPD's flagship initiatives.

💡In 2016, the first MRC opened in Lahore with national and international cooperation. Currently, 10 MRCs are operational in Afghanistan (online), Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

🎉 The 10th anniversary is an opportunity to evaluate the MRC model's impact on migration governance challenges in the Silk Routes region, with a key feature being its incorporation into national systems from the outset.
