Although initiatives and measures for migration and development are being implemented in the region, they are generally less formalised and local capacities are low. The project strengthens local institutional structures and expands the technical capacities of local authorities and key actors in the areas of migration, development, planning and implementation of public policies for sustainable development. In addition, the ASB raises awareness of migration through training courses and the forums of spaces where different peoples meet, thereby promoting dialogue between local authorities and other key actors about the issues and structural causes of migration. The ASB also promotes dialogue between the authorities and civil society.

The countries of the triangle face major social and economic challenges and continue to be plagued by high levels of poverty. Despite substantial economic progress, the manufacturing and labour matrices do not support or encourage the growth and expansion of high-productivity sectors. Moreover, poverty remains very high, as do inequalities among the population.
The ASB supports vocational training systems and promotes the vocational skills of the young population. In addition, the ASB offers training, technical assistance and seed capital for the establishment or strengthening of entrepreneurial initiatives. Particular attention is paid to young people and women, whose entrepreneurship creates further economic opportunities.

Although violence has declined in recent years, the region still exhibits high levels of insecurity and violence. These rates are a key factor in the breakdown and disintegration of the social fabric.
The ASB aims to spread and strengthen a culture of peace in the project communities. A model of “protective communities” has been developed and arts and leisure events are being held in the project communities. In doing so, the ASB informs about the risks of irregular migration, the culture of peace, peaceful conflict resolution and explains the prospects of staying in the region.

The local partner organisations are strengthened in the efficient management of administrative, financial and technical processes as well as in the monitoring mechanisms. This improves their project implementation and the scalability of their results from the local to the national and regional levels. The ASB also provides training in gender equality and inclusion. The project implements an online platform for collecting data and information in the field of migration, enabling local partner organisations and actors to continuously improve and develop their offerings to the target groups.
