Community Based Awareness and Engagement for Safe, Legal and Informed Youth Migration project is implemented by Institute of Development Affairs (IDEA) with funding from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and technical support from The Asia Foundation (TAF). The project empowers young people, families, and communities with reliable migration information through awareness campaigns, community dialogues, street dramas, educational institution outreach, and myth-busting sessions.
