The THAMM+ Project

This GIZ factsheet provides an overview of the THAMM Plus project (“Towards a Holistic Approach to Labour Migration Governance and Labour Mobility in North Africa”). It outlines the economic context in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia, where population growth and skills mismatches limit employment prospects, driving migration (page 1). The project aims to anchor development-oriented and needs-based labour migration between North Africa and Germany by improving employability, strengthening partnerships between origin-country institutions and German stakeholders, and building sustainable cooperation structures. Priority areas include upgrading technical and language training, developing skills-assessment mechanisms, facilitating job placement, and improving institutional capacities in ministries, employment agencies and vocational training centres. THAMM+ also supports process digitalisation and adapts earlier THAMM standards to Germany’s Skilled Immigration Act (page 2).
