Eva Åkerman Börje is Head of the Swedish Chairmanship of the Global Forum on Migration and Development 2013-2014.
Strengthening Partnerships and Cooperation on International Migration
There is an increasing need for governments and other development actors to plan for, and act upon, the opportunities and challenges that migration brings. Through the High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development we should, therefore, call for improved policy coherence between migration and development through the integration of migration into the post-2015 development agenda, an improvement in multilateral coordination through the Global Migration Group (GMG) and a commitment to continued inter-governmental cooperation in the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD).
