Global Joint IOM-UNDP Programme:
Making Migration Work for Sustainable Development (M4SD)
Making Migration Work for Sustainable Development (M4SD)
The IOM-UNDP Global Programme on Making Migration Work for Sustainable Development translates policy-oriented actions into the up-scaling of concrete initiatives on the ground in four priority sectors: employment, education, health and human rights and social security to support the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The Programme is implemented in 11 countries across the globe which include Bangladesh, Ecuador, Jamaica, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Morocco, Nepal, Philippines, Serbia, Senegal and Tunisia. All countries are benefit from participation in global capacity building, peer-to-peer learning and knowledge sharing activities, showcasing their experiences in relevant regional and international dialogues.
Migration is a local-to-local dynamic, with the developmental impact of migration being most profoundly evident at the local level. Local authorities and other local actors increasingly find themselves at the forefront of addressing migrants’ needs and evidence shows that working with local authorities and other local actors enhances local outreach capacity, understanding of local dynamics, and the sustainability of interventions.
For this reason, the Programme ensures that sub-national authorities and other local actors play a key role in leading the roll out of the initiatives to be up-scaled.
