Development of migration processes is one of the New Eurasia Foundation’s principal operation areas.  Within this area FNE strives to develop a mechanism of network-based communication between the bodies of power, businesses, and nongovernmental organizations to ensure that the public is well informed of the migration-related issues and migrants’ rights in the Russian regions and CIS countries.

 
The FNE projects in the field of migration, both completed and current, are designed:

•    To stimulate effective collaboration between the bodies of power and civil society institutions with the view to improve the regulation quality of migration processes in the Russian regions and CIS;
•    To design a system of monitoring of migration processes in the Russian regions and CIS;  
•    To develop and support a network of nongovernmental organizations in Russia and CIS operating in the field of migration;
•    To design and deploy effective mechanisms and models of legal migration, social adaptation of migrants, and their integration into recipient communities;
•    To exchange international experiences and best practices in the solution of migration-related problems.

The "Stabilizing Northern Caucasus: Development of Institutional Conflict-Prevention Mechanisms" project is supported by the Secretary for State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (British Embassy, Moscow).

The goal of the project is to facilitate the processes of mutual adaptation of migrants, refugees, and recipient communities in the pilot areas of Northern Caucasus by promoting and creating multilateral partnerships and by introducing effective institutional conflict-prevention mechanisms.

The New Eurasia Foundation attempts to develop network-based communication between authorities, businesses, and NGOs to address serious migration-related problems in the Russian regions and the CIS countries. In 2006, the New Eurasia Foundation worked to:

• Support effective collaboration among civil society institutions and the government with the view to better regulate migration processes in the Russian regions and CIS countries;
• Design a system required to monitor migration processes in the Russian regions and CIS countries, aimed at assessing the progress of migration processes in donor and recipient countries;
• Support nongovernmental organizations in Russia and the CIS countries that operate in the sphere of migration;
• Design and apply effective mechanisms and models required to support legal migration and social adaptation and integration of migrants in local communities;
• Exchange international experiences and best practices acquired in the solution of migration-related problems.
