Through the Project's activities, people in key areas will be informed about the Australian government's border protection policy, as well as understand the risks and consequences of illegal immigration and illegal migration.

People are also updated with basic knowledge and skills for safe and legal migration. Local officials are also enhanced in their capacity to communicate about safe and legal migration and prevention of illegal immigration and migration.
