Capacity Building in Migration Management
The establishment of a comprehensive migration management system in Ukraine is taking place as part of IOM’s Capacity Building in Migration Management Programme (CBMMP). The CBMMP is designed to support the aspirations of the Government of Ukraine to align with the EU acquis communautaire. The project aims to improve migration management in Ukraine through the development of operational and capacity building measures with a specific emphasis to address the problems arising from the current high level of irregular migrants.
IOM’s Capacity Building in Migration Management Programme (CBMMP) cooperates closely with the Ukrainian government to enhance its capacity to manage migration flows and align its migration policy with European practices and international human rights standards.

HUREMAS – Overview
The HUREMAS 2 project was launched in April 2008 to consolidate the gains of the European Union (EU)/U.S.-funded project “Reinforcing the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Human Resources Management – HUREMAS.” The EUR 1,140,000 (approximately USD 1,601,000) sequel project continues to facilitate the establishment of a modern human resources management system for the State Border Guard Service (SBGS) of Ukraine in line with the best EU practices and standards under five components:
Training Needs: The project facilitates reforming the SBGS officers’ education compatible with EU best practices. This includes the reform of recruitment and education/training for internally recruited officers and cadets, as well as the introduction of a short-term training programme for externally recruited personnel with university degrees.
Career Development Reform: The project facilitates the adoption of the “Instructions for Career Development of Ukrainian Citizens in the SBGS,” developed within HUREMAS project on the basis of EU best practices, as well as the implementation of its provisions into SBGS practices.
