The United Nations Network on Migration is pleased to launch this on-line ‘Champions’ forum dedicated to information exchange on all aspects of implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

The Champions initiative is one means by which the Network seeks to support Member States in implementing the GCM. A non-exclusive grouping, the Champions will work with the Network on a range of initiatives including through generating and sharing key insights, lessons learned, and best practices on GCM implementation. The Network will also provide training tools and policy guidance to assist in this collective endeavour, and will use this space to solicit feedback from Member States on their use.

The United Nations Network on Migration is pleased to launch this on-line ‘Champions’ forum dedicated to information exchange on all aspects of implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

The Champions initiative is one means by which the Network seeks to support Member States in implementing the GCM. A non-exclusive grouping, the Champions will work with the Network on a range of initiatives including through generating and sharing key insights, lessons learned, and best practices on GCM implementation. In addition, the Network will provide training tools and policy guidance to assist in this collective endeavour, and will use this space to solicit feedback from Member States on their use.

More specifically, this online space will serve as a discussion platform for Member States, the Network and other partners, on the Network’s Implementing the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM): Guidance for governments and all relevant stakeholders. This guidance material offers technical and results-oriented advice on implementing the GCM.

As other Network products are developed, this space will be used to solicit feedback on their use and how they can be improved.

The space, on its own, can serve no purpose without active participation. We look forward to your inputs, questions and comments!

About the Migration Network Hub

What is the Migration Network Hub?

The Hub is a virtual “meeting space” where governments, stakeholders and experts can access and share migration-related information and services. It provides curated content, analysis and information on a variety of topics.

The Hub aims to support UN Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the Global Compact for Migration by serving as a repository of existing evidence, practices and initiatives, and facilitating access to knowledge sharing via online discussions, an expert database and demand-driven, tailor-made solutions (launching in 2021).

What content is displayed in the Hub?

The Hub aims to help you find information on migration, ranging from policy briefs and journal articles, existing portals and platforms and what they offer, to infographics and videos. The different types of resources submitted by users undergo peer review by a panel of experts from within the UN and beyond, before being approved for inclusion in the Hub. To provide guidance to users based on findings of the needs assessment, the content is ordered so that more comprehensive and global resources are shown before more specific and regional ones. Know a great resource? Please submit using the links above and your suggestion will be reviewed. Please see the draft criteria for existing practices here.
