Introduction

In 2013, a Diaspora Ministerial Conference (DMC) was convened as part of the International Dialogue on Migration (IDM). This conference marked a milestone in the IDM series, and furthered IOM’s responsibility to build off the momentum to maintain the same level of interest in the following workshops. Also, in 2013, World Migration Report: Migrant Well-being and Development placed migrants at the centre of debate on migration, taking a broader approach by focusing on people movements in all directions (and not exclusively from South to North or from low-/middle-income countries to high-income ones).
