• About the GFMD

    Created in 2007, the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) is a state-led, informal and non-binding process, which helps shape the global debate on migration and development. It provides a flexible, multi-stakeholder space where governments can discuss the multi-dimensional aspects, opportunities and challenges related to migration, development, and the link between these two areas. The GFMD process allows governments - in partnership with civil society, the private sector, local and regional governments, youth, the UN system and other relevant stakeholders – to analyze and discuss sensitive issues, create consensus, pose innovative solutions, and share policy and practices.

    • Labour migration
    • Culture, narratives and migration
    • Multi-level governance of migration
     

  • Global Outlook on Public Narratives

    The Global Outlook on Public Attitudes to Immigration asks what individuals across the world think about immigration, why they think what they do, and what communication is likely to affect what they think. It provides global data on what public attitudes to immigration are, brings up to date the rapidly developing scientific literature that explains attitudes to immigration, and provides guidance to communicators on what types of communication are likely to be effective, along with examples.
