Africa: Migration Crucial to Success of Development and Poverty Reduction Strategies

press release

Geneva — As governments gather for the first meeting of the Global Forum on Migration and Development, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is calling for migration to be systematically mainstreamed into poverty reduction strategies and for better support to be given to diasporas wanting to contribute to the development of their home countries.

If real progress is to be made on making migration work for development, this and the need to reinforce the capacity of States to map labor market trends and gaps, preparing the way for safe and planned labor migration, would have to be addressed.
