Relevance of Migration Policy for CARICOM

Relevance of Migration Policy for CARICOM

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is developing a Regional Migration Policy Framework to guide Member States in shaping and strengthening their national migration policies. This video highlights the feedback of civil society organizations that participated in the consultative process, which also brought together technical officers from CARICOM Member State governments, UN agencies and development partners to ensure the Framework reflects the diverse realities, priorities, and aspirations of people across the region. As @caricomorg moves toward a shared and coordinated approach to migration governance, the video explores why a coordinated regional approach to migration policy is essential. Topics include: The role of migration in economic integration and regional mobility. The importance of harmonizing migration policies to promote fairness and reduce discrimination. How improved access to resources across the region can expand opportunities for young people and strengthen workforce and leadership development. Together, these discussions underscore how migration, when governed strategically, can serve as a powerful driver of regional and national development, inclusion, and shared prosperity. @CitImmCanada
