“FACILITATE ORDERLY,<br />
SAFE, REGULAR AND<br />
RESPONSIBLE MIGRATION<br />
TO REDUCE INEQUALITIES<br />
WITHIN AND AMONG<br />
COUNTRIES.”<br />
“MIGRATION:<br />
A KEY<br />
TO SUSTAINABLE<br />
DEVELOPMENT<br />
GOALS”<br />
In 2015, the international community adopted the 2030 Agenda and the United Nations<br />
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs recognize the nexus between migration<br />
and development and aim to ensure safe, orderly and regular migration involving full respect<br />
for human rights and the humane treatment of migrants.<br />
Several goals relate to migration and identify migrants as agents of development. IOM helped<br />
place migration at the centre of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. The Organization will<br />
continue its role to ensure that migration is recognized for its contribution to development.<br />
IOM has taken great strides to implement the SDGs. The Organization's Migration Governance<br />
Framework (MiGOF) is the only internationally recognized comprehensive overview of “wellmanaged<br />
migration policies”. MiGOF helps define, review and supports implementation of<br />
migration-related targets.<br />
