On 28 October 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Thailand, and the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines, in collaboration with the Regional UN Network on Migration for Asia and the Pacific, convened an online regional consultation on “Promoting Access to Health Services for Migrants, including in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic”. The consultation reflected on one of the key priorities for countries of origin and destination in the region. This event aimed to promote GCM Objective 15 (provide access to basic services for migrants) and Objective 16 (empower migrants and societies to realize full inclusion and social cohesion), the attainment of which would contribute to the achievement of SDGs 1 (no poverty), 3 (good health and well-being), 5 (gender equality), 8 (decent work and economic growth) and 10 (reduced inequalities). This consultation also sought to encourage the use of a human rights-based approach in migration-related policies across the region. This event brought together approximately 200 participants ranging from UN agencies, civil society organizations, academics, legal services, trade unions, migrants and diaspora organizations, and governments.

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.
