Local and international organizations' co-operation for urban migration policy and urban economics : the case of information centres (BILMER)
(2023) In The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies 16(94). p.323-338- Abstract
- Migration has a global impact, but it also intersects with local and nationalissues. In 2020, 281 million people lived outside their country of birth or citizenship, according to the United Nations Global Migration Database. The number of persons displaced across international borders is increasing due to conflict, persecution, and violence. Most of the world’s refugees and asylum seekers live in low- and middle-income countries. There is a medal that has two sides. On the one hand, migrants have been discussed as an actor who has a negative impact on social and economic order.

- Migration has a global impact, but it also intersects with local and nationalissues. In 2020, 281 million people lived outside their country of birth or citizenship, according to the United Nations Global Migration Database. The number of persons displaced across international borders is increasing due to conflict, persecution, and violence. Most of the world’s refugees and asylum seekers live in low- and middle-income countries. There is a medal that has two sides. On the one hand, migrants have been discussed as an actor who has a negative impact on social and economic order. On the other hand, they contribute to the sustainable development of host countries in social and economic ways. However, host countries and societies try to advance politics to enhance the development potential of migration. Local, national, and nongovernmental organizations should work together to develop and
implement an urban and public policy to diminish the negative effects of
migration. To do that, many institutions and associations play important roles in managing the social and economic consequences of migration. In this study, I assess the role of local and international organizations' cooperation according to urban migration policy and urban economics.
To clarify that, this article benefits from a project called BILMER that is conducted by the Unions of Chambers of Tradesmen and Craftsmen, municipalities and the International Labour Organization (ILO).
This paper contends that cooperation on migration policy and urban economics not only reduces negative effects for refugees, but also helps to improve the institutional capacity of local partners. The findings show that the cooperation local and international organizations reinforce three thematic areas. Firstly, the partnership develops institutional capacity of the NGO such as physical improvements, establishing communication channel and capacity building for staff. Secondly, local and international factors play an active role that is boosting the governance capacity on level of local managers. Thanks to the activities of the project, all the other actors can be a part of it and share what they've learned, which helps the partnership improve its ability to manage migration in urbanareas. Finally, the cooperation with international actors on a local level
has a social and economic transfer. The social and economic transfer can
be used to strengthen social cohesion. (Less)
