Data Bulletin: Informing a Global Compact for Migration (GCM)

About the Data Bulletin Series 

"Data Bulletin: Informing a Global Compact for Migration", launched by IOM’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC), aims to summarize in an accurate and accessible fashion the existing evidence on migration to support the discussions and any follow-up activities of a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

As part of the project “Support to IOM for the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration,” the Data Bulletin series outlines the strengths and limitations of relevant migration data, and highlight innovative data practices which are pertinent to a global compact for migration. The series reflects the collaborative nature of a global compact for migration process by including relevant contributions from different parts of IOM as well as other agencies and migration experts.

IOM's GMDAC would like to acknowledge the European Commission for its financial support towards the production of the Data Bulletin series.
