As the year comes to an end, we are pleased to present the new edition of the Quarterly Review for the last quarter of 2024. This issue presents the latest activities and outputs, while reflecting on a milestone year for the Prague Process.

2024 marked the 15th anniversary of the Prague Process, celebrated during the senior officials’ meeting in Moldova. This occasion provided an opportunity to reaffirm the collective commitment of the Prague Process participating states to advancing migration governance and showcased progress made since 2009, as well as under the current Action Plan 2023-2027. The numerous state interventions reconfirmed that the Prague Process is well equipped to address the shifting dynamics and emerging challenges within migration governance, ensuring efforts remain impactful and responsive to participating states' needs.

This year saw a wealth of activities and collaboration aimed at strengthening migration management across the region. Highlights from the last quarter include the study visit to Kyrgyzstan, the Prague Process & EMN Luxembourg joint workshop on forecasting and new technologies, and the training workshop on reintegration in Prague. Additionally, the Prague Process states participated in the 7th International Border Management Conference in Tunisia, while the Secretariat engaged in the GDISC Annual Conference in Poland. Enhanced partnerships with key actors like the EUAA and EMN enabled concrete actions addressing operational needs and facilitated greater knowledge-sharing across the region, among others, on the issues of digitalisation and preparedness.

The Prague Process Migration Observatory has continued to serve as a cornerstone for evidence-based policymaking, delivering in-depth research and analysis. In 2024 alone, the Observatory produced a dozen of new publications and updated ten country factsheets. These publications tackled pressing topics such as forced migration from Ukraine, emigration from Russia, and the effects of war and displacement in Central Asia.

The Prague Process Training Academy also expanded its offerings, releasing the new e-course on Combatting trafficking in human beings, tailoring capacity development to meet the diverse needs of participating states. Participants also gained facilitated access to the e-course on Integration and the two EUAA automated foundation modules, reinforcing the Prague Process' focus on fostering practical skills and effective migration governance.
