1. Where are migrants and migration in the SDGs?

1- Migration in the SDGs

Target 10.7 : Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through implementation of planned and well- managed migration policies

2. How does IOM work to support the achievement of these targets?

Global Level Migration policy indicator SDG 10.7.2 SDG target 10.7 : Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies UN Statistical Commission indicator 10.7.2 : The number of countries that have implemented well- managed migration policies

Cornerstone of IOM Approach: MiGOF

Defining “Well-managed Migration Policy" 6 policy domains – still being discussed 1. Institutional capacity and policy 2. Migrant rights and integration 3. Safe and orderly migration 4. Labour migration and recruitment costs 5. International cooperation and partnerships 6. Humanitarian crises and migration policy Each policy domain includes one key sub-indicator

National Level: The Migration Governance Index • Migration governance bench-marking • 1 st round: 15 countries • 2 nd round: 100 countries

3. The role of regional processes

The Role of IRFs / RCPs Regional level actors, including Intra-Regional Forums on Migration (IRFs ) and Regional Consultative Processes on migration (RCPs) , can be instrumental in the implementation and review of the SDGs Involvement of RCPs / IRFs in:  Migration and development – 14  Labour migration – 18, incl. remittances – 5  Counter-trafficking – 13  Migrant rights – 11

The Role of IRFs / RCPs Recent IOM survey (August–September 2016) Among 14 respondents - 7 (50%) have discussed SDGs or 2030 Agenda during their 2016 meetings Almaty Process, ARCP, Bali Process, Budapest Process, Colombo Process, MIDWA, Pan-African Forum - 9 RCPs / IRFs have projects / activities in support of SDGs Almaty Process, ARCP, Bali Process, Budapest Process, Colombo Process, MIDSA, Prague Process, Puebla Process, Pan-African Forum

IOM Support to RCPs / IRFs towards SDG implementation  Technical advice (including tools and resources)  Capacity building, including trainings, webinars, tailored consultations to individual RCPs/IRFs and their secretariats  Secretariat support  Data collection  Research  Projects  Facilitating partnerships and cooperation  Facilitation of policy dialogue, agenda shaping  Promoting convergence among various regions  Bringing the global perspective:

RCP/IRF Projects in support of SDGs. Projects at the regional level working to achieve Target 10.7  Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies  COMESA-RCP • Advocates for the ratification of free movement protocols • Enhances knowledge on migration management and labour migration policies • Harmonizes policies on irregular migration, migration health and mixed migration

Projects at the regional level working to achieve Target 10.7 (2 nd example)  Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies  The Almaty Process • Builds MS’ capacities in migration management towards ensuring protection of the human rights of all migrants and provision of assistance to vulnerable migrants • strengthens inter-state cooperation at the regional level on counter-trafficking and mixed migration

Projects at the regional level working to achieve Target 10.7 (3 rd example)  Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies  The Pan African Forum • contributes to effective migration governance in Africa • supports the free movement of persons in Africa

Projects at the regional level working to achieve Target 10.c  By 2030, reduce to less than 3 per cent the transaction costs of migrant remittances and eliminate remittance corridors with costs higher than 5 per cent  The Colombo Process aims to • Enhance capacities of the Member States in strengthening labour migration management • Find solutions to lower the cost of remittances in the region

24 Towards a global compact on safe, orderly and regular migration “63. We commit to launching, in 2016, a process of intergovernmental negotiations leading to the adoption of a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration at an intergovernmental conference to be held in 2018.” (New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants) *** ISCMs, including RCPs and IRFs, can play a role in the Global compact

4. Main outcomes of the Second 2016 IDM Workshop

Second 2016 IDM Workshop “Assessing progress in the implementation process of migration related SDGs” 11-12 October 2016, Geneva • IDM, itself multi stakeholder consultation mechanism on migration, is IOM’s principal platform for policy dialogue which provides a space to analyse current and emerging issues in migration governance and to exchange experiences, policy approaches and effective practices. • around 300 participants • in-depth discussions on how best to act in a collective and coordinated way, both at national, regional and international levels, to implement the migration-related SDGs.

Main outcomes of the Second 2016 IDM Workshop relevant for RCPs and Regional actors • RCPs reported at IDM for the first time: • 4 RCP Chairs ( 5+5 Dialogue on Migration , Arab RCP , Puebla Process , and Rabat Process ) illustrated how the implementation of the SDGs is seen from a regional prospective and their role in supporting states in this process. • emphasized the role that RCPs can play to support the implementation of migration-related SDGs well as review and follow-up of their progress in achieving the migration goals and targets.
