Overview
The Population Division of UN/DESA, in collaboration with United Nations Network on Migration, convened a technical briefing to update Member States on recent developments in the Network’s support to implement the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM).
The briefing provided an opportunity to discuss the Network’s workplan for the period 2022 to 2024, which incorporates follow-up activities from the Progress Declaration of the first International Migration Review Forum, including new workstreams on (a) developing a limited set of indicators to monitor GCM implementation, and (b) preparing actionable recommendations on strengthening cooperation on missing migrants and providing humanitarian assistance to migrants in distress.
