Civil society survey on future models of engagement in global migration governance 

Following its work around the High Level Summit to address large movements of refugees and migrants in 2016, the Civil Society Action Committee (AC) played a key role in building upon and amplifying civil society’s strategy, content, and political work around the Negotiations on the Global Compact for Migration, at the same time closely tracking parallel developments around the Global Compact for Refugees.The Action Committee’s mandate will be extended for a transitional period through 2019, a year which also marks the start of the Global Compacts implementation. This means important ‘homework’ for civil society: not only will civil society need to think of how it will organise itself in this new era, it will have to be prepared to think of its role and priorities in the monitoring, follow- up and review process. 

 

This is an exercise that needs broad consultation and dialogue with civil society across sectors, regions and themes, and will need action through 2019. In preparation for this work, the Action Committee has started to collect first ideas around such models of engagement. Drawing on these preliminary findings, the Action Committee will outline and communicate next steps for wider consultation early 2019 (phase two). More info about this work, you can find here.

As part of this first phase, we would very much welcome your thoughts and ideas, and have opened a survey to receive them!

Deadline for your input: 21st of December 2018
