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.
