Platform for partnerships:
The Platform for Partnerships is a three-pronged tool for governments to (1) showcase existing practices (M&D Practices) (2) foster new projects and partnerships (M&D Calls for Action) and (3) foster communication and exchange (M&D Networking). It provides a mechanism, online and offline, that allows governments to share concrete experiences and practices and build partnerships within the framework of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD), and specifically in relation to GFMD themes, debates and outcomes. See www.gfmd.org/pfp for more information.
