This workstream seeks to (1) support UN Country Teams to integrate migration into the design and/or implementation of Common Country Analyses or Cooperation Frameworks and (2) support Member States and stakeholders’ efforts to integrate the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) in national planning processes. These efforts aim to strengthen whole-of-UN, whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches for implementing the GCM and accelerate progress towards the SDGs. This work is central to the capacity-building mechanism, called for in the GCM and reiterated in the first IMRF Progress Declaration.
