Explore the Regional Reviews in Africa

The 2024 Regional Review in the African region provides 54 African Member States, intergovernmental organizations, United Nations bodies, and various stakeholders an opportunity to assess their progress in implementing the objectives and guiding principles of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM).

The Intergovernmental Conference, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 9-10 October, will formulate recommendations for the next International Migration Review Forum in 2026.

Key focus areas will include assessing regional progress and challenges, strengthening linkages between the GCM and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and enhancing regional cooperation on migration.

The Intergovernmental Conference will be preceded by a Multi-stakeholder Hearing on 8 October. Both will feature thematic sessions covering crucial aspects of all GCM objectives.

Five Regional Reviews are held every four years. As part of the 2024 series, a Regional Review was held in the UN Economic Commission for Europe in March 2024 and in the Arab Region in July 2024.

Further Reviews are scheduled in Latin America and the Caribbean (March), and Asia and the Pacific in early 2025.
