Capacity development will become increasingly important to the success of the global compact

In his opening remarks at the second workshop, IOM Director General Vitorino pointed to several ways that developing capacity will ensure effective implementation of the Global Compact. First is the establishment of a United Nations Network on Migration that will transform coordination of efforts within the United Nations to support the efforts of States and other relevant actors. Second is the Global Compact, which calls for a capacity-building mechanism, with a start-up fund, to proactively address the objectives of the Global Compact. This mechanism will require strong financing from a variety of sources for it to be effective.
