12 Migration as an enabler of development

13 Improving development outcomes 1.Promoting the integration of migration within development processes at national/regional/global levels. 2.Protecting & promoting the human rights of all migrants – including undocumented, stranded, stateless or otherwise vulnerable migrants. 3.Supporting inter-State, multi-stakeholder consultation and cooperation on migration, especially by providing knowledge and expertise

14 Effective approaches 1.Mainstreaming migration into development processes. 2.Development at a local level. 3.Diaspora engagement 4.Ethical recruitment standards

15 HLD Round Table Recommendations: Assessing the effects of international migration on sustainable development and identifying relevant priorities in view of the preparations of the post-2015 development framework Include migration in the post-2015 UN Development Agenda as part of a new global partnership for development and/or as a cross-cutting “enabler” Mainstream migration into development and broader sectoral planning – especially labour market policy, health and human rights protection – at local, national and global levels and both in developing and developed countries. Embark on an inclusive process of mainstreaming migration into development and other policy sectors, with participation by all relevant ministries and government agencies, civil society, academia, and diaspora organizations; led by designated institutions or coordination bodies equipped with the necessary capacities. Raise the quality of research and data collection on migration and invest in more systematic evaluation and impact assessments of migration policies and migration and development initiatives, including through comparable indicators and data on migration, and on the nexus between migration and development.
