While some partnerships have functioned well for many years, others need encouragement and support to ensure they operate such that the needs of states and migrants are met

In discussions at both workshops, participants identified several specific areas where partnerships need to be strengthened to address crucial shortcomings in the present system of global governance. These included the needs for more-robust data, to eliminate forced labour and to address the particular situations of migrants in vulnerable situations. These discussions were in line with the final report of Mr Sutherland, who called for an agenda for action that highlighted, among other priorities, “strengthening governance capacities”.
