How Receiving Cities Contribute to Simultaneous Engagements for Incorporation and Development

  • Chapter
The Migration-Development Nexus

Part of the book series: Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship Series ((MDC))

Abstract

In the year 2007 migrant organizations from Madrid, Barcelona and a number of southern Spanish localities founded the REDCO network. REDCO is the abbreviation for Network of Immigrant and Co-development Associations. It is dedicated to the active involvement of migrant communities and migrant organizations in cross-border development projects, summarized by the now popular term co-development. Most, if not all, of the 16 founding member organizations of this network have previously been engaged in politics and service delivery in the realm of migrants’ local reception and incorporation. It includes even a local, Barcelona-based network whose representative in an interview in 2006 still maintained that development cooperation or other cross-border projects in origin countries were not on the agendas of any of their member associations. In the meantime, migrant organizations in Madrid and Barcelona engage simultaneously for reception and incorporation ‘here’ and development ‘there’.
