1. SDGS AND MIGRATION

2. HOW DID WE GET THERE? TRANSFORMING OUR WORLD

3. Migration in the SDGs – How did we get there?
The 2001 Berne initiative
Regulated migration  fostering economic growth
Balanced approach to facilitate regular migration
Mutual benefits  enhanced inter-state cooperation
International framework of effective practices for migration management
The 2013 HLD on International Migration and Development
The right policies, migrant and diaspora communities  contribution to development in both origin and destination countries
Integration of migration into the development agendas
Migration to be considered in the post-2015 development agenda
The post-2015 negotiations: broad consensus
Rio+20 : population dynamics, including migration  part of development strategies
The post-2015 UN development agenda needed to incorporate migration into the development goals

4. Where migration fits in the SDGs
This is an indicative list, but migration is relevant to almost all SDGs.
No longer is human mobility seen as just background context for development, or worse merely seen as a consequence of lack of development.
Rather, with the SDGs, migration is an issue to act upon to enhance sustainable development and IOM is an important actor both for advising on prioritization and implementation on the ground. (DG at the IOM Council panel on SDGs and the MiGoF, Nov. 2015)

5. SDG 10: REDUCE INEQUALITIES WITHIN AND AMONG COUNTRIES
The Colombo Process (CP), aims to
Enhance capacities of the Member States in strengthening labour migration management
Find solutions to lower the cost of remittances in the region
Target 10.7: Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies
Target 10.c: By 2030, reduce to less than 3% the transaction costs of migrant remittances and eliminate remittance corridors with costs higher than 5%
Migration’s most important inclusion is its presence in SDG 10 on “Reducing inequality within and among countries”.
One of the seven targets , 10.7, states that facilitating safe and orderly migration is necessary for the over-all goal on reducing inequality globally.
It also acknowledges that orderly and safe migration will be achieved through “well-managed migration policies”, a quite elusive concept, which will be addressed again when discussing IOM’s work on migration related indicators for SDGs.

6. Cornerstone of IOM Strategy: MiGOF
At the center of our strategy on SDGs is MiGOF, the first internationally agreed definition of « well-managed migration policies » (10.7)

7. Global Level Migration policy indicator
SDG : “The number of countries that have implemented well-managed migration policies”
Based on IOM Council Resolution no adopted on
Encourages Member States to use a Migration Governance Framework to enhance their own governance of migration and mobility
Six policy domains
Institutional capacity and policy
Migrant rights and integration
Safe and orderly migration
Labour migration and recruitment costs
International cooperation and partnerships
Humanitarian crises and migration policy
At the global level, we have an indicator that uses the 6 MiGOF categories. Is was adopted in March at the Stats Com.
There are 230 indicators.
looks at recruitment cost (mainly ILO and WB)
looks at the number of countries implementing well-managed migration policies (IOM and DESA)
There are other indicators that are relevant to migraiton on trafficking and other issues.
Although the list of indicators is fixed, the methodologies will be constantly revised and improved.

8. National Level IOM Policy
Aims to be the principal contributor on migration data and analysis in the 2030 Agenda follow-up and review
Supports national governments on capacity to report on migration indicators
Supports national governments on capacity
to mainstream migration into their national
development strategies
The Migration Governance Index
Migration governance bench-marking
1st round: 15 countries
2nd round: 100 countries
Examples/Background for Belgium:
Belgium was one on the founding members of the IOM in For non-earmarked contributions (‘core funding’), the Belgian Development Cooperation is one of the main IOM donors. 
IOM, as the leading agency delivering comprehensive migration management services and policy advice, has been a long-lasting partner of the Belgian government, migrants, local communities and other stakeholders in Belgium. SDG Framework: IOM contributes to effective migration governance (which importance is highlighted in SDG framework).
IOM supports the Belgian Development Cooperation in the areas of migration, sustainable economic development, humanitarian aid and he protection of human rights.
20 November 2015: High-level Bilateral Consultations took place between the Government of Belgium and IOM. The last consultations had taken place in 2009, and this was an opportunity to reflect on the cooperation between IOM and an important founding Member State. The consultation also took place in the context of the decision of the Belgian Government to retain IOM on the (reduced) list of partner International Organizations of the Belgian Development Cooperation. The migration context in Europe and the recent adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) were among the issues discussed.
Belgium is holding this year the Presidency of the IOM Council.
17 May 2016: IOM actively participated in the conference ‘Migration in the 21st Century: reflections&prospects 2050’, organized by the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs&Development Cooperation. During this high-level event, Mr Alexander De Croo underlined that since the Second World War, there were never so many refugees. To enable the long term reception and integration of refugees in neighboring countries, the Belgian Development Cooperation is working together closely with the IOM.

9. Regional Level IOM Policy
Uses its existing mechanisms and multi-stakeholder processes
to identify regional trends and generate solutions
Identifies the relation between regional trends and
corresponding global challenges
Can contribute to the proceedings of regional
mechanisms, UN Regional Economic Commissions
The regional level is more about sharing experiences, discussing challenges and best examples. We can also discuss common solutions and new partnerships. RCPs can play a role in this regard but UN economic commisions will be the major player.

10. 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.”
