Migration Management Framework (MMF): Capacity Building to Support Evidence-Based Migration Management In 2015, IOM and the Economist Intelligence Unit developed the MigrationGovernance Indicators (MGI). The main purpose of the MGI is to help governments, upon request, take stock of the migration policies and strategies they have in place, to identify good practices as well as areas in need of further development. This can be done at regular intervals to ensure that government structures are adapted to the challenges and opportunities stemming from new migration trends. This tool builds upon the notion that national governments have complete sovereignty over their migration policies. The MGI’s ultimate objective is to help governments make progress on their migration management priorities, through the use of the Migration Governance Indicators (MGI), and by doing so contributing to increasing safe, orderly and regular migration practices. This project is anchored in the understanding that migration policies can differ widely according to regional, national, and local conditions and priorities. Therefore this project does not aim at ranking or comparing countries based on their respective migration management systems, nor does it propose a one-size fits all approach to migration management. In this regard, the MGI is a voluntary, flexible, context-specific and non-prescriptive tool. This project envisages four main components implemented over the course of one year: (1) Country selection and confirmation of interest; (2) Data collection and analysis; (3) Inter-ministerial consultations; and (4) Publication of the results.
