15 HLD Round Table Recommendations: Assessing the effects of
international migration on sustainable development and identifying
relevant priorities in view of the preparations of the post-2015
development framework Include migration in the post-2015 UN
Development Agenda as part of a new global partnership for
development and/or as a cross-cutting enabler Mainstream migration
into development and broader sectoral planning especially labour
market policy, health and human rights protection at local,
national and global levels and both in developing and developed
countries. Embark on an inclusive process of mainstreaming
migration into development and other policy sectors, with
participation by all relevant ministries and government agencies,
civil society, academia, and diaspora organizations; led by
designated institutions or coordination bodies equipped with the
necessary capacities. Raise the quality of research and data
collection on migration and invest in more systematic evaluation
and impact assessments of migration policies and migration and
development initiatives, including through comparable indicators
and data on migration, and on the nexus between migration and
development.
