Local authorities are at the forefront of managing the benefits and the challenges migration can bring. To do so, local authorities constantly innovate and develop pragmatic solutions that can have a positive impact at the national and international levels.

In the effort to support the formulation of well-managed policies as well as foster a dialogue between national and local level authorities, IOM has adapted the Migration Governance Indicators (MGI) to the local level (the Local MGI).

This tool offers local authorities an opportunity to have an introspective look at the policies, programs and structures they have in place to manage migration. The local MGI has been used by more than 50 local authorities and for many of them, it was a valuable exercise to inform the development of policies and capacity-building activities.
