| International Dialogue on Migration No. 26 : Follow-up and review of
Migration in the Sustainable development Goals
This publication contains the report and complementary materials of the two
workshops held in 2016 under the overarching theme Follow-up and Review of
Migration in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the framework of
the International Dialogue on Migration (IDM), IOMs principal forum for
migration policy dialogue. The two workshops were held in New York on 29
February and 1 March, and respectively in Geneva on 11 and 12 October 2016. The
first workshop addressed the implications of migration being included in the
Sustainable Development Goals, it discussed tools and mechanisms that could
help Member States to measure progress on achieving relevant migration-related
SDG targets, as well as it looked, inter alia, at options for thematic review
of migration-related SDG targets and at the role of International Organizations
in achieving the migration targets. Building on the conclusions of the first
workshop, the second workshop assessed progress in the implementation of the
migration-related SDGs. It discussed the state of migration policies one year
after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda from the perspective of States and other
stakeholders in the migration area, presented best practices in countries
making progress on the migration-related SDGs, and looked at how can the
institutional capacity of States to measure and report on progress on achieving
the migration-related targets be improved. By dedicating its major policy
discussion forum to discussions on implementation, follow-up and review of
migration aspects of the SDGs, IOM wished to open a space for IOM Member States
and relevant key players in migration and development area, to present
strategies and measures that they are putting in place to achieve the
migration-related targets, including good practices, challenges, lessons
learned and areas that need support and shared experiences. 2017 / 152 pages

evidence based policy and practice in Sri Lanka
Despite the growing recognition of the importance that migration health plays
in advancing global health and sustainable development goals, there is a
paucity of technical guidance and lessons learned documents to guide Member
States, international organizations, academia, civil society and other
stakeholders seeking to develop effective migration health policies and
interventions using evidence-based approaches. Governments today are faced with
the challenge of integrating health needs of migrants into national plans,
policies and strategies as outlined in the 61st World Health Assembly
Resolution on Health of Migrants. Studying the health of migrants residing
within and crossing national borders, across diverse linguistic and cultural
gradients and with differing legal status pose challenges in evidence
generation. The International Organization for Migrations migration health
research series aims at sharing high-yield scientific papers and analytical
commentaries aimed at advancing migration health policy and practice at
national, regional and global levels. The first book of the series is a
two-part volume profiling the development of the National Migration Health
Policy and intervention framework in Sri Lanka, which to a large extent was
driven by an evidence-informed, multisectoral approach.

| | Assessing the Evidence: Migration, Environment and Climate Change in
Viet Nam (Vietnamese)
The Socialist Republic of Viet Nam is one of the six pilot countries of the
European Union-funded Migration, Environment and Climate Change: Evidence for
Policy (MECLEP) project. Drawing from an extensive number of sources, including
academic papers and reports produced by the Government and national and
international organizations, this assessment aims to: (i) provide an overview
of the linkages between migration patterns and environmental change in Viet
Nam; (ii) critically analyse national policies that address these links; and
(iii) propose some related research and policy implications. Viet Nam is
particularly exposed to floods and typhoons as well as droughts and sea-level
rise, which have major impacts on the countrys environment and the livelihoods
of its 90.73 million people. Adverse environmental conditions clearly influence
migration patterns in the country: since the 1990s, the relocation programmes
implemented by the Government for communities affected by environmental
degradation and the number of people internally displaced by natural hazards in
recent years (more than 2 million between 2008 and 2015) are clear signs of the
migrationenvironment nexus. The report concludes that more detailed research
should be conducted in order to fully understand the migrationenvironment nexus
and exhaustively address the needs of relocated and displaced people in the
country. The establishment of a ministry of migration could play an important
role in ensuring that people migrate in the best conditions.

| | Compilation of Research Papers Presented at the Conference on
National Migration Policy Thematic Areas According to the 2009 Nigeria
migration profile, about 74 per cent of all immigrants living in Nigeria were
from other ECOWAS countries. These dynamics of the migratory movements in
Nigeria have continued and have sometimes led to stormy discourse on the
relationships between migration and development. Nigeria continues to face
challenges in managing its migration due to insufficient research and
empirical-based information on trends and patterns of migration in Nigeria to
influence policies and interventions. There is an urgent need to increase the
knowledge base and understanding of the factors shaping the migration context
in Nigeria. The research conference was conducted to forge a linkage between
empirical analysis and contemporary theories in various aspects of migration
based on theoretical reflection, and how this can be applied by institutions of
government, policy gatekeepers, and other development actors to improve
sector-specific and overall management of migration in Nigeria. This
publication is a compilation of six quality research papers presented during
the Conference on National Migration Policy Thematic Areas. The papers covered
various aspects of migration such as migration and urbanization, human
trafficking, migration and development, displacement and internal migration.
The research papers provide empirical knowledge and information on the factors
shaping migration issues in Nigeria and recommendations for appropriate
interventions to address the challenges of migration in Nigeria. 2017 / 192

| Migration, Environment and Climate Change: Policy Brief Series Issue 1 |
Vol. 3 | February 2017
Mongolias harsh climate and the dependence of the nations rural population on
animal husbandry make it vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Mongolia
is already experiencing dramatic rural-to-urban migration as a result of
multiple factors, including declining livelihood opportunities in rural areas,
a phenomenon exacerbated by environmental changes and natural disasters such as
drought and dzud. Ongoing climate change is expected to present a growing
challenge to the traditional pastoral way of life of many in Mongolia and
likely to continue to impact human mobility. 2017 / 12 pages
