International Dialogue on Migration No. 28

Two workshops were organized in New York on 26 and 27 March 2018 and in Geneva on 8 and 9 October 2018. Over 600 participants – including 83 panelists –representing governments, UN agencies, international organizations, civil society, the business sector, migrant and diaspora associations, and academia alike, gathered to discuss and illustrate partnerships across governments, agencies and communities and solutions for furthering collaboration, and to present tools and initiatives in strengthening capacity development on migration. The publication presents a detailed report of the deliberations, organized around six key messages which emerged from the discussions. It offers a collection of experiences, best practices shared and recommendations for whole-of-government, whole-of-society and United Nations system-wide coordination approaches to migration and for enhancing capacity development efforts for effective migration governance.
