Implementing and following up the global compact on migration

A recurring sentiment expressed in the workshops was the need for the global compact on migration to succeed. Many speakers underscored, therefore, that the global compact should focus on practicable outcomes and effective implementation rather than simply restating principles. Many also emphasized that priority needed to be given to setting realistic expectations and to developing specific indices to track and monitor implementation of the goals established. While it was too early to have a clear view on the particular set of indices needed, many speakers said that having such indicators and benchmarks would enable Member States and others to measure progress and outcomes.
