Expanded efforts to collect and analyze data have resulted in significant progress in the understanding of migration aspirations (economic, risk diversification and environmental factors etc.). The consequences of movement on receiving and sending countries (remittances, social effects, and transnational networks) and the role of development in fueling migration are also better grasped. But an understanding of the highly complex system of demographic, economic, social and environmental factors remains incomplete.</p> <h3 class="rtejustify">Documents</h3> <ul> <li> <p><a href="http://www.un.org/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/undesa_pd_migration_event_bacground_paper.pdf">Background paper</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/undesa_pd_migration_event_concept_note.pdf">Concept note</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/undesa_pd_migration_event_programme_of_work.pdf">Organization of work</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/undesa_pd_migration_event_summary.pdf">Summary</a></p> </li> </ul> <h3>Organization of work</h3> <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color: gold;"> <p><strong>Wednesday, 24 April 2013</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; width: 200px;"> <p>1:15pm - 1:25pm</p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Opening remarks </strong>by Mr. John R.

The first meeting of the IFMS, organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the 山Department of Economic and Social Affairs (山DESA) in Paris, France, from 15 to 16 January 2018, featured 240 speakers and over 350 participants from 90 countries, representing national statistical offices, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and academia.</p> <p class="rtejustify">Improving data is crucial for the implementation of the migration-related dimensions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) and the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR). The IFMS offers a unique space for global dialogue, information-sharing and networking for a broad range of actors from national and regional authorities, NGOs, international agencies and the private sector, with the aim of building and strengthening migration data capacities around the world. With the public discourse on migration increasingly being influenced by myths and misperceptions, the IFMS contributes to more informed and evidence-based public discourse and policy making.</p> <p class="rtejustify">The Forum is expected to foster an informal global migration data network, aimed at promoting exchanges of information between a broad range of stakeholders. This could include online mechanisms to facilitate the sharing of innovative data practices.</p> <p class="rtejustify">The second edition of the IFMS will be hosted by the African Union (AU) and the Egyptian Government, which currently chairs the AU, from 20-21 January 2020 in Cairo, Egypt. &nbsp;The Forum will be supported by a Programme Committee of scientific experts, drawn from all major regions in the world, as well as a local organising committee to help with logistics.</p> <p class="rtejustify">Like the IFMS in 2018, IFMS 2020 will provide a place for sharing innovative approaches to filling data gaps in the measurement of migration and migration-related topics, such as local integration and development impacts. Given that migrants often face limited access to healthcare, education, justice, labour protections and other services, the IFMS 2020 will specifically address disaggregation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets by migratory status (SDG 17.16).</p> <p>The 2020 Forum will focus on six themes:</p> <ul> <li>Strengthening data for policy</li> <li>Capacity development and financing</li> <li>Data collection and innovation</li> <li>Measuring progress on the SDGs and other global commitments</li> <li>Cooperation and data governance</li> <li>Improving availability of data on migrants in vulnerable situations</li> </ul> <h3>Organization of work</h3> <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color: gold;"><strong>Sunday, 19 January 2020</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 200px; vertical-align: top;"> <p>09.00 - 10.30</p> </td> <td> <p class="rtejustify"><strong>Opening plenary session</strong></p> <p class="rtejustify">Welcoming remarks</p> <p class="rtejustify">Chair: H.E.

The purpose of the Meeting is to discuss the interrelationships between international migration and development from the perspective of Latin America and the Caribbean, with a view to contribute to a number of United Nations events on International Migration and Development that will be held in 2006, notably the thirty-ninth session of the Commission on Population and Development, which will have “International Migration and Development” as its special theme; the meeting of the Special Commission on Population and Development at the thirtieth session of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, and the high-level dialogue on International Migration and Development of the General Assembly of the United Nations to be held at its sixty-first session in 2006. With the support of UNFPA, representatives of Member States in Latin America and the Caribbean will attend the expert group meeting to benefit from the technical discussion of topics they will address in the various United Nations fora in 2006.</p> <h3>Documents</h3> <ul> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd-egm_2005_11-12_objectives.pdf">Objectives</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd-egm_2005_11-12_org-of-work.pdf">Organization of work</a></p> </li> </ul> <h3>Contributed papers</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Alan Simmons, Dwaine Plaza and Victor Piche. <a href="http://www.un.org/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd-egm_2005_11-12_p01_asimmons.pdf">The remittance sending practices of Haitians and Jamaicans in Canada</a>&nbsp;(UN/POP/EGM-MIG/2005/01)</p> </li> <li> <p>Alberto Acosta. <a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd-egm_2005_11-12_p02_aacosta.pdf">El aporte de las remesas para la economia Ecuatoriana</a> (UN/POP/EGM-MIG/2005/02</p> </li> <li> <p>Elizabeth Cubias y Luis Monzon. <a href="http://www.un.org/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd-egm_2005_11-12_p03_lmonzon.pdf">La Conferencia Regional sobre Migracion o Proceso Puebla como proceso consultivo regiona</a>l&nbsp;(UN/POP/EGM-MIG/2005/03</p> </li> <li> <p>Douglas S.

The meeting was held at the United Nations in New York from 21 to 23 January 2008.</p> <p> The world population is in the midst of a historical transition from being mostly rural to predominantly urban. The urbanization of the population has historically been accompanied by long-term economic development. Urbanization has been both an important determinant of the reduction in mortality and fertility rates as well as a prominent feature of the spatial distribution. While urbanization generally represents a positive and welcome development, the challenges facing urbanization in developed countries are of different kind and scale than those in the developing areas.&nbsp;</p> <p> At the meeting, experts in various aspects of urbanization presented and discussed recent research findings from different regions and countries of the world.</p> <h3>Documents</h3> <ul> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd_egm_200801_objectives.pdf">Objectives</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd_egm_200801_org-of-work.pdf">Organization of work</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd_egm_200801_list_of_participants.pdf">List of participants</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/unpd_egm_200801_list-of-papers.pdf">List of papers</a></p> </li> </ul> <h3> Organization of work</h3> <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color: gold; text-align: left; height: 40px; vertical-align: middle; white-space: nowrap;"> <p><strong>Monday, 21 January 2008</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 150px; vertical-align: top;"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>9:30–13:00</p> </td> <td> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>I.

Today, virtually all countries in the world are simultaneously countries of destination, origin and transit for international migrants. Traditional migration patterns are complemented by new migratory flows, fuelled by changing economic, demographic, political and social conditions. Changing migration patterns affect the size and composition of migrant populations as well as economies and societies in countries of origin and destination.</p> <p>The rise in global mobility, the growing complexity of migratory patterns and the impact of such movements on development have all contributed to international migration becoming a priority for the international community.</p> <p>The twelfth Coordination Meeting on International Migration focused on the follow-up to the 2013 High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development as well as integrating international migration into the post-2015 United Nations development agenda. The twelfth Coordination Meeting on International Migration took place in New York from 20 to 21 February 2014.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Documents</h3> <ul> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/201402_unpd_cm12_objectives_06_02_2014.pdf">Objectives</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/201402_unpd_cm12_agenda_14_02_2014.pdf">Agenda</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/201402_umnpd_cm12_organization_of_work_20_02_2014.pdf">Organization of work</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/201402_unpd_cm12_provisional_list_11032014_combined.pdf">List of participants</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/201402_unpd_cm12_bios.pdf">Bios of panelists</a>&nbsp;</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/201402_unpd_cm12_report_final.pdf">Report</a></p> </li> </ul> </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/2014">2014</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/development/desa/pd/tags/labour-migration">Labour migration</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/development/desa/pd/tags/international-migration">International migration</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/development/desa/pd/tags/internal-migration">Internal migration</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/development/desa/pd/tags/development">Development</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/coordination">Coordination</a></div></div></div> Wed, 23 Jan 2019 20:41:00 +0000 MSTOCKTO 660 at /development/desa/pd Eighth coordination meeting on international migration /development/desa/pd/events/eighth-coordination-meeting-international-migration <div class="field field-name-field-date field-type-date field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-range"><span class="date-display-start">Monday, 16 November 2009 - 10:00am</span> to <span class="date-display-end">Tuesday, 17 November 2009 - 6:00pm</span></span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><h3>Overview&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</h3> <p class="rtejustify">The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations is organizing the Eighth Coordination Meeting on International Migration.
