➢ 70 indicators from 15 sources ➢ 20+ briefings explaining pros and cons of available data ➢ 90+ guidance/handbook reports for NSOs ➢ Section for measuring migrationrelated SDGs ➢ Leading experts discussion of current issues (Blog) The Portal aims to serve as a unique access point to timely, comprehensive migration statistics and reliable information about migration data globally. The site is designed to help policy makers, national statistics officers, journalists and the general public interested in the field of migration to navigate the increasingly complex landscape of international migration data, currently scattered across different organisations and agencies. Especially in critical times, such as those faced today, it is essential to ensure that responses to migration are based on sound facts and accurate analysis. By making the evidence about migration issues accessible and easy to understand, the Portal aims to contribute to a more informed public debate. The Portal was launched in December 2017 and is managed and developed by IOM’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC), with the guidance of its Advisory Board, and was supported in its conception by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). The Portal is supported financially by the Governments of Germany, the United States of America and the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Capacity building International migration data is often not available in low-income settings. Even if it is available, the resources are not always there to properly analyse and report the data. GMDAC is enhancing IOM's efforts to meet governments' requests for migration data capacity-building. Working with IOM Missions across the globe, GMDAC’s capacity building activities aim to support policy-makers, national ministries, regional bodies, NSOs and other stakeholders to improve migration data and the evidence base at national and regional levels. The approach taken is one of co-production and sustainability, and is informed by the broader sustainable development framework: developing action plans and materials with government buy-in; integrating recommendations into national strategies and legislation; improving communication and work-flow between data producers (ministries http://community.apsanet.org/migrationcitizenship/home 61
