PRE-DEPARTURE REGISTRATION. IOM prepares a manifesto of all evacuated refugees that profiles their physical well-being and transportation needs. An IOM doctor accompanies the refugees whose during transportation.
Praia, November 18, 2010 – A deeply-rooted tradition of emigration to achieve personal and social success is appearing to be less marked in Cape Verde, according to IOM's latest migration profile on this West African nation.
The profile shows that despite major gaps and weaknesses in data collection, there has been a steady decrease in emigration from Cape Verde since the 1970's.
Currently, only estimates exist on the Cape Verdian diaspora with figures ranging between just under 200,000 to just over 518,000. The USA and Portugal are among the most popular destination countries.
Despite these relatively small figures, Cape Verde ranks among the countries with the highest emigration rates relative to the size of its population – 25 per cent. Although more than three quarters of all its emigrants are low or medium skilled, Cape Verde does lose a high percentage of its highly skilled – nearly 70 per cent go abroad to OECD countries.
Nevertheless, the Cape Verdian diaspora remitted 10.4 billion escudos (USD 124 million) in 2008.
The emigration drop has, however, coincided with an increase in immigration in recent decades. Cape Verde's immigrant population rose by 20 per cent between 1991 and 2005.
The IOM migration profile reveals that 82 per cent of all immigrants come from other Portuguese-speaking African countries and from Portugal. Nevertheless, China, Nigeria and Senegal appear among the list of main countries of origin.
Indicators point to a connection between economic development and immigration, mainly due to the role immigrant labour plays in the tourism and construction sectors as well as in retail and wholesale business, whether formally or informally.
Cape Verde is also an attractive destination for qualified workers with specialists in intellectual and scientific professions representing the second largest category of migrant labour.
Looking ahead, the profile, funded by the EU, Switzerland and Belgium, highlights that a reduced capacity of the labour market to absorb workers, unemployment that mainly affects the youth, a predicted population increase of 30 per cent by 2020 and an increase in life expectancy can again push more Cape Verdians to migrate.

Warbler Migration
The Honeysuckle bushes are full of trembling…
The tops of the tall goldenrods suddenly toss…
Something’s in there
Furtively feeding
Now and then a rush of wings
Or a flash of brown…
The little warblers are passing through,
Nibbling and picking their way southward,
Blown by the chilling October wind.
You won’t see them in the tidy flowerbeds
Or the expanse of tended lawns;
Instead, they feast in the wild tangle
Of hedgerows I insist must remain unmowed.
Who knows what they find to eat in there…
And yet they have been harvesting, for many minutes now,
A bounty that Earth provides,
Found only by creatures who still know
How to live from the land.

The Dialogue held on 26 September 2017, was attended by more than a hundred people including, representatives from various ministries, embassies, academics, researchers, employers and workers representatives, civil society organizations.
The meeting continued the implementation of the India-EU Common Agenda on Migration and Mobility (CAMM) signed last year, and comes ahead of the upcoming India-EU Summit to be held in Delhi in October 2017. The CAMM addresses four pillars: better organized regular migration and the fostering of well-managed mobility; prevention of irregular migration and trafficking in human beings; maximizing the development impact of migration and mobility; and promotion of international protection.

The Great Migration. While staring out of the car window I happened to look up and saw thousands of birds migrating north from their winter homes further south. I've never seen as many birds in the sky at once. The river of birds reached from one horizon to the other. As far as my eye could see.
MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. IOM carries out fitness to travel health checks for all refugees and advices on eventual special travel or post-arrival medical follow up needs.
The migration of snow geese have arrived at Freezeout Lake in Montana. It is pretty impressive to see the huge flocks fly over.
In one of the most dramatic river crossings of recent years a mad rush of an estimated 30,000 wildebeest hurl themselves into the Mara River...in a desperate race (in the the wrong direction!) towards lush grazing to the south of the river.
