Guidelines on Mainstreaming Migration into Local Development Planning
The UN Joint Migration and Development Initiative (JMDI) has published "Guidelines on Mainstreaming Migration into Local Development Planning", which aim to assist local and regional authorities in enhancing their efforts to mainstream migration into all governance areas for enhanced policy coherence in migration and development. These Guidelines achieve this through a set of indicators that show how migration and development-related policies interact across a non-exhaustive variety of sectors.

Diomedes: de joven desempleado a mecánico eléctrico automotriz
Diomedes de la Rosa Núñez es ciudadano de República Dominicana. Nació en Santo Domingo, en la parte este de la ciudad, muy cerca del mar Caribe. Su madre y su padre siempre los impulsaron a él y a sus cuatro hermanos mayores a estudiar y prepararse para la vida; por ello Diomedes cada día continúa esforzándose por darle lo mejor a su familia, de la cual se encuentra por el momento alejado. Debido a las complejas circunstancias que atravesaba su país natal, Diomedes decidió emigrar el día 06 de mayo de 2015, hacia Ecuador, buscando nuevas oportunidades.
