Leveraging the Global Compact for Safe Migration in COVID-19 Response and Recovery Efforts

Well-governed migration plays a transformative role in mitigating the negative impact of COVID-19, building stronger, inclusive communities, stimulating socio-economic recovery, and advancing Sustainable Development Goals. The positive development impact of migration is highlighted through examples of action taken to support migrant workers and ensure social inclusion. Connecting the Global Compact for Migration with the UN socio-economic response is essential for a comprehensive approach. Consult the UN Migration Network Policy Brief for further information.
