Available on Spotify, Youtube and Apple podcast

FEPS Head of Communications Ainara Bascuñana interviews Ottilia Maunganidze, lawyer and Head of Special Projects in the office of the Executive Director at the Institute of Security Studies, based in South Africa, and member of the Progressive Migration Group.

Following the Progressive Migration Group Conference on September 10, Ottilia discusses the New Pact on Migration and Asylum from the viewpoint of African countries and the pressing need to abandon the current stagnant and toxic narratives on migration that portray migration as a threat when it is a major driver of development and prosperity.

Over the course of two years, the Progressive #Migration Group – equally composed of EU and African experts – produced a series of policy proposals on a human-rights and development approach to #Migration and asylum and recommendations on adopting a new narrative.
