This guide offers concise practical guidance on how to initiate, implement and follow up on a migration profile process in a particular country. Taking stock of the more than 80 country migration profiles (MP) developed by many stakeholders, including the European Commission and IOM, it summarizes how country teams have been organizing the preparatory, implementation and follow-up stages of the MP process.
