It also aims to stimulate debate related to development issues.
The magazine has a great impact in the ACP countries, where it represents the primary information review for a large number of readers and is often used in schools as an educational tool for children. After a four-year break, The Courier has recently been re-launched with a fresh, contemporary layout which aims to reflect the current international context and to reach an ever-wider readership, with a growing proportion of women and young people.
Besides managing the editorial secretariat, Lai-momo promotes the magazine in Europe and in the ACP countries. It also promotes the magazine to the network of NGOs and international experts who represent the link between the magazine and the academic and institutional world.

The JMDI is the first programme to disburse a substantial amount of funds to small-scale actors – the people who contribute to making migration work for development every day. Approximately €10 million have been set aside to finance a series of migration and development projects. The projects will be implemented through partnerships linking civil society groups and local authorities from the European Union member states and their counterparts in sixteen target countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, namely Moldova, Georgia, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Cape Verde, Senegal, Mali, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Ecuador and Jamaica.

Lai-momo also plans to produce a colour brochure presenting case studies of successful projects carried out local authorities, linking migration and development. It will also include the policy recommendations of the network.
