Evaluation and Impact Assessment

The Global Commission on International Migration (GCIM), established in 2003 at the initiative of the UNSG Kofi Annan, produced its report in 2005 recognizing that human mobility is an integral component of the global economy and that international migration has the potential to play a very positive role in human development. It argues that in order to maximize the benefits of international migration while minimizing its adverse consequences, migration policies should be based on shared objectives and a common vision.

Commissioned by the GFMD, the mapping study was carried out by the Hague Process on Refugee and Migration with assistance of International Organisation of Employers (IOE), the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Council for Global Immigration and other contributing partners in order to gather information on how to deepen and diversify GFMD engagement with targeted business sectors including construction; mining and extractives, recruitment, insurance, financial services, and others.

The Disposition of the Prime-Minister on the implementation of the-whole-of-Government approach on Migration and Diaspora wsa signed on 07.06.2013. According to the document in all national authorities (30 state institutions) there is a focal point responsible for implementation, and a key person responsible for promotion of the Diaspora Policies. The novelty of the Moldovan Mainstreaming is based on two key items – empiric-based approach to policy design and policy coherence issue.

The purpose of the project on Mainstreaming migration into national development strategies is to enable the governments involved and their United Nations Country Team partners to develop a context-specific, evidence-based, participatory, and holistic approach to migration and development at the national level, based on guidance provided by the GMG Handbook on Mainstreaming Migration into Development Planning that was endorsed by governments at the 2010 GFMD in Mexico.

In projects’ context and with international partners support, some major changes took place:

The new Law on Foreigners and International Protection established a new Migration Advisory Board with a mandate of assessing the effects of regional and international migration policy developments on Turkey. The Board will thus be regularly monitoring the development impacts of migration at the national and sectorial levels as part of its duties under the law. 

The United Kingdom‘s White Paper on - Making Governance Work for the Poor is committed to monitoring the effects of the UK‘s migration policies on development.
