In the framework of the programme EUROMED Migration IV, ICMPD is developing together with the Observatory on Public Attitudes on Migration (OPAM – EUI) a study in three chapters entitled “Impact of Public Attitudes to migration on the political environment in the Euro-Mediterranean region”.

The Migration Media Award (MMA) recognizes and rewards the journalistic excellence, relevance and newsworthiness of press pieces dealing with migration in the Euro-Mediterranean region in all its aspects. For its first edition in 2017, the MMA rewarded 35 journalists based in an EU country or a Southern Partner Country (SPC) and 41 in 2018, and had their winning stories published on www.migration-media-award.eu.

The Refugee Brief, UNHCR’s daily news digest, shares top refugee stories and highlights some of the best refugee-related reporting, analysis, and videos from across the web in a concise format. The Brief also includes a "Get Inspired" section aimed to provide a more positive narrative on migration.

The M4D Net is the go-to hub on migration and development (M&D) which brings together over 4,800 migration practitioners and policy makers from around the world to get informed, discuss and share on the issue of migration and development and is accessible through a dedicated website: www.migration4development.org.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognizes migration as a core development consideration — marking the first time that migration is explicitly integrated into the global development agenda. Implementation of the SDGs provides an opportunity to protect and empower mobile populations to fulfil their development potential and benefit individuals, communities and countries around the world. But the migration-SDG connections reach far beyond just implementing migration poli-cies, and entail integrating migration across governance sectors. 

The independent, not-for-profit organization 'Permits Foundation' campaigns to improve work permit regulations in countries around the world to make it easier for partners of expatriate staff to work in their country of temporary residence. According to the Permits Foundation, allowing the partners of highly skilled employees associated with international business, investment and development to work creates a 'triple win' for host countries, employers and migrant families. 

While trade unions attempt to organise migrant workers, it can be difficult for migrants - especially those involved in temporary and circular migration programmes - to join unions. Cooperation between unions in countries of origin and destination can be useful in addressing these protection gaps.
