Migration Network Activities***

The increased relevance and recognition of migration in the development context requires adequate means for appropriate knowledge management. The complexity of the issue requires an integrated approach and a continued strong collaboration, in particular with other thematic networks, the global programs as well as field offices and key strategic partners.

Stakeholders involved in Migration and Development activities at all levels benefit from increased evidence and recommendations based on practices and lessons shared.
