The Migration Laboratory brought together 33 leaders
and change-agents from 18 different countries, representing
governments, civil society (including diaspora) an
d the private sector.
It was launched in the framework of the German-Moroccan co-chairmanship
of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD), and implemented
by the Global Leadership Academy and GIZ's Sector Project Migration and
Development on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
On the basis of the
experimental approach of the Migration Laboratory, its members have
developed, in concrete cooperation across sectors, proposals that tackle
critical current challenges in the field of migration and development,
thereby creating new capacities.
From the Lab, eight
cross-sectoral groups were established, proposing projects on topics
including reintegration, the inclusion of private sector actors, and the
protection of particularly vulnerable migrants. The projects are
designed to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the
Global Compact for Migration and migration-related Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). Laboratory participants are continuously
working towards the realisation of all eight projects, and they need the
participation and support of individuals and organisations from the
fields of government, civil society, academia, media and private sector
to create synergies and enable optimal impact.
We invite all
interested actors to add their creativity and commitment to this joint
undertaking of change-makers aiming at tangible actions that will help
make migration beneficial for all actors in society.
