A/64/213 B. Good practices 60. In discharging his mandate, the Special Rapporteur has encountered a number of initiatives, activities and policies implemented by Governments and civil society that reflect their commitment to the realization of human rights in the context of migration. The Special Rapporteur wishes to highlight some examples focused on the human rights of migrants, with particular emphasis on the rights of the child; the examples provided are not exhaustive. The Special Rapporteur also believes that it is important to increase efforts to exchange information on the ways in which Governments and international and regional non-governmental organizations around the world are trying to promote respect for the human rights of migrants throughout the migration process with a view to helping States to fill in policy and protection gaps at all levels. Enhancing cooperation between countries of origin and destination 61. The attention of the Special Rapporteur has been drawn to the migration of health professionals as a serious impediment to the delivery of health-care services to the population in communities characterized by high levels of migration, which in some countries of origin also affects the provision of health-care services to children. In this connection, the Special Rapporteur welcomes efforts made by some host countries to transform migration challenges for countries of origin into opportunities for cooperation. A good example is the Migration and Development for Africa pilot project, launched by the Helsinki office of the International Organization for Migration with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, which promotes the return of qualified professionals of Somali background on a temporary basis to Somaliland and Puntland to assist and share their skills with local health authorities, civil society organizations, hospitals and universities. 62. The Special Rapporteur has also been informed about bilateral efforts to promote learning of the heritage language in host countries among migrant children and children from a migrant background, as in the case of States members of the European Union, where such bilateral agreements are envisaged under directive 77/486/CEE. The Special Rapporteur welcomes such initiatives. Enhancing cooperation between countries of origin and diaspora communities 63. The Special Rapporteur welcomes the efforts and initiatives of countries of origin to enhance cooperation with diaspora communities, as in the case of Ethiopia, where, in 2008, the Government established the Ethiopian Expatriate Affairs Direction and the Diaspora Coordination Offices within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Capacity-Building, respectively, with a view to enhancing protection for the Ethiopian diaspora community. 64. The Special Rapporteur also praises efforts made by Governments to promote the contribution of skilled emigrants in the development of their country of origin, as in the case of Albania, where an online “brain-gain” database has been implemented with the support of the United Nations Development Programme to allow skilled emigrants to contribute in various domains, including, but not limited to, academia and the private sector. 09-43777 15
