Friends of the Forum
The Friends of the Forum (FOF) is open to all Member States and GFMD Observers, which include some UN observers, specialized UN agencies, international organizations, regional consultative processes and select non-government stakeholders (see a list of GFMD Observers).
The FOF ensures all members and observers are informed of Forum-related developments, advises on the programme and discusses issues of substance.
Participation in the FOF is guided by the defining principles of the Global Forum on Migration and Development – voluntary participation, informality and state-led nature of the process. FoF members designate contacts that form a part of the GFMD Focal Points Network.
