The UN Network on Migration’ working group on Access to Services, co-led by UN-Habitat in cooperation with WHO has launched a policy brief entitled Enhancing Access to Services for Migrants in the Context of COVID-19 Preparedness, Prevention, and Response and Beyond advocating for enhanced access to services for migrants.
Recommendations included in the UN Migration Policy Brief are complementary to the recommendations provided in UN-Habitat’s guidance documents, but with a specific focus on increasing access to services of migrants and implementing the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM).
UN-Habitat’s engagement in the UN Migration Network is in alignment with priorities set in the Strategic Plan 2020-2023, Domain of Change 4 “Urban Crisis Preparedness and Response” and complements UN-Habitat’s Flagship on Inclusive Cities: Enhancing the positive impact of Urban Migration.
