United Nations Network on Migration

Recognising that migration is a process not a problem, the world community is committed, via the Global Compact for Migration (GCM), to enhance cooperation in pursuit of migration that’s for the benefit of all communities, upholding the human rights of all. To support these efforts, the United Nations, under the coordination of the International Organization for Migration, established the UN Network on Migration. Its primary aim is to help States and other stakeholders achieve the objectives of the GCM while strengthening coordination on migration-related issues among UN partners. The Network brings together the expertise and capacities of the UN system. It sets strategic priorities to support Member States in the implementation, follow-up and review of the GCM. National and regional Networks exist in over 40 countries, on four continents.
