On the sidelines of the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) for the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda, the Mayors Mechanism and its partners, including IOM, UCLG, and MMC, are convening a “local takeover” of the It Takes a Community (ITAC) Campaign. During the next week, this takeover will, among other communications and storytelling efforts, convene a live conversation between the national Canadian government and the city of Montreal to showcase how local-national partnerships are essential for changing the narrative on migration and empowering migrants as agents of change and development in our communities.
