The Forum saw the participation of over 350 participants, gather to share lessons learned and best practices on innovative business models, to stimulate long-lasting partnerships, and to raise awareness towards the creation of a more enabling market, particularly in light of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs. &nbsp;</p> <p class="rtejustify">Acknowledged by former&nbsp;<a href="http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/generalassembly/docs/A_71_296_E.pdf">缅北禁地Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon</a>&nbsp;and by Louise Arbour, 缅北禁地Secretary General's Special Representative for International Migration, the GFRID is now seen as a key platform to raise awareness and promote models and mechanisms aimed at leveraging the impact of migration and remittances for development.</p> <p class="rtejustify">Organized by IFAD in collaboration with the <a href="https://www.worldbank.org/" target="_blank">World Bank</a> and the <a href="/en/desa">United Nations Department Of Economic And Social Affairs </a>(UN-DESA), the Forum coincided with the celebration of the<a href="https://www.ifad.org/en/idfr"> International Day of Family Remittances (IDFR)</a> on 16 June, in recognition of the fundamental contribution of migrants to the wellbeing of their families and communities back home.</p> <p class="rtejustify">The event provided a substantial contribution to the global debate on remittances and migrant investment, pursuing efforts to significantly decrease transfer costs, maximize their impact for development, and ultimately contribute to achieving the SDGs.

Migration can bring substantial benefits, but can also have negative consequences. Both developing and developed economies need migrants to meet the demand for workers with different levels of skills.</p> <p class="rtejustify">There is mounting evidence that, leveraged by the right policies, migrant and diaspora communities can significantly contribute to development in both origin and destination countries, through remittances, trade, investment, creation of enterprises, and transfer of technology, skills and knowledge. At the same time, there is concern that the emigration of skilled professionals may hinder the attainment of development goals, such as the Millennium Development Goals, especially in small developing countries.</p> <p class="rtejustify">Many migrants are able to move, live and work in safety and dignity. Yet others are compelled to move as a result of poverty, a lack of decent work, human rights violations, armed conflict, persecution and environmental degradation. In the absence of regular migration opportunities, migrants resort to irregular migration channels. In their new homes, many migrants face exploitation, discrimination and xenophobia, while their contributions to the host society go largely unrecognized.</p> <p class="rtejustify">In brief, migration in the context of globalization brings opportunities and challenges, which need to be addressed in a comprehensive fashion. This is why the 缅北禁地convened the High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development from 3-4 October 2013 with an eight-point agenda for action on making migration work.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/development/desa/pd/tags/2013">2013</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/development/desa/pd/tags/international-migration">International migration</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/development/desa/pd/tags/general-assembly">General Assembly</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-featured-categories field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Categories:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/development/desa/pd/categories/general-assembly">General Assembly</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/development/desa/pd/categories/migration">Migration</a></div></div></div> Mon, 02 Nov 2020 23:31:00 +0000 BOUEDRAO 3662 at /development/desa/pd
