Global solutions for migration related challenges

Proyecto terminado

The challenges and opportunities linked to migration require a coordinated response from the international community that goes beyond individual country measures. For this reason, Switzerland works towards an effective global migration governance that enables cooperation among states and other stakeholders (private sector, civil society). Switzerland also supports evidence-based policy making and the development of global solutions to contemporary migration challenges that benefit migrants and their families, as well as countries of origin and destination.

Contexto International migration is a global phenomenon, affecting all world regions as points of origin, transit or destination. Migration entails opportunities for development (i.e. access to skills, labor, investment, remittances) as well as challenges (i.e. irregular migration, human trafficking, exploitation, brain drain, social costs), which can only be addressed through international cooperation. As a small country with a highly globalized economy, Switzerland is heavily affected by migration. It therefore has a strong interest in fostering a solid and reliable global migration governance and developing effective, scalable solutions to contemporary migration challenges. This programme aims at further strengthening SDC’s leverage in the global dialogue on migration and development (M&D) by refocusing its engagement on a few well-defined thematic priorities.
Objetivos A strengthened international migration governance fosters an enabling environment for migrants to effectively contribute to sustainable development through (i) fair and ethical recruitment for migrant workers, (ii) the financial inclusion of migrants and their families, and (iii) an enhanced socio-economic integration.
Grupos destinarios

The ultimate beneficiaries of this programme will be migrants and their families as well as local communities in countries of origin, transit and destination. Through a strengthened international migration governance, they will benefit from better working conditions, social protection, less exploitation, increased access to financial services and enhanced social cohesion.

Furthermore, governments, the UN-system and other stakeholders, such as the private sector and civil society, will benefit from better coordination and improved coherence in migration management and planning for sustainable development.

Resultados de las fases anteriores:  

Past achievements of Switzerland’s engagement in the multilateral dialogue on M&D include:

·       Successful advocacy for the recognition of migration as key factor for sustainable development in the 2030 Agenda and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.
