The road to IMRF – looking forward to the next IDM
Channel: IOM - UN Migration
Date: 2021-10-19

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) has integrated a quadrennial global review to advance its implementation. The first International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) is to take place in the first half of 2022 as set in the modalities resolution (RES/73/326). Many countries have advanced in integrating GCM into their national planning despite the significant challenges and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed in the last IDM session; many stakeholders have been actively involved at the national, regional and global level; and the reviews of the GCM at the regional level have taken place. 

Framing questions:
* What are IOM member states experiences with reporting on GCM implementation?
* What are recommendations from member states looking ahead (e.g. how to track progress, address challenges, how to link with existing frameworks such as the Agenda 2030?)
* How can IOM support member states, e.g. in developing national implementation plans, to prepare for the IMRF through consultations, national reports, and various regional and cross-regional cooperation processes?
