In order to respond to a growing-policy need for a common approach to promoting the inclusion of migrants and refugees that recognizes their contribution to development, UNITAR, together with some of its partners, has been working on different initiatives. These are aimed at strengthening the competences required by policymakers and practitioners for overcoming some of the challenges on economic and social inclusion for migrants and refugees while understanding the benefits of promoting their socioeconomic inclusion because of its nexus to sustainable development.
