IPPN Knowledge Café: How an Integrated Approach to Migration, Sustainable Reintegration and Development Can Support the 2030 Agenda

Global sustainable development can only be achieved if we do not leave migrants behind. It is therefore essential to develop integrated approaches and achieve policy coherence, ensuring migrants and displaced people are considered in all policies, not just migration policies, supported through governance mechanisms that empower migrants as agents of sustainable development. 

Watch the recording of the event below:

Responding to increasing demand from States and local authorities for further support specifically around safe and dignified return and sustainable reintegration of migrants, as called for in Objective 21 of the Global Compact for Migration, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), as secretariat of the UN Network on Migration, has built upon its extensive operational work, expertise and the global research on good practices and lessons learned, to identify approaches and guidance for stakeholders providing reintegration assistance.

In this sixth IPPN Knowledge Café, we will focus on how practitioners can integrate migration into their work from an integrated policy perspective, building on IOM's comprehensive approach operationalized through the Reintegration Handbook.
