Synthesising findings from GAPs Work Packages 2-9, it proposes both an analytical framework and a standardised structure to support a comparative and multi-dimensional mapping of returnrelated practices across selected countries. This report systematically presents an inventory of good and promising practices related to return governance from 12 countries, using a common analytical framework. We define these practices as those that actively promote the rights, dignity, and agency of migrants while also contributing to effective and sustainable return governance. In this inventory, each practice is analysed based on its context (geography, duration, target group, return stage), concise description, return governance implementation challenges it addresses, the principles referenced, concrete benefits, impacts, key lessons learned, and relevant recommendations.
