Brand new website 'www.MigrationAndDevelopment.net'
launched this month
November 18, 2008 - Earlier this month MigrationAndDevelopment.net was launched by the International Catholic Migration
Committee (ICMC) and Misereor (German Catholic Bishops'
Organisation for Development). The website provides a
forum through which field experiences, good-practice examples
and advocacy work in the field of migration and development can
be shared.
Through the website, ICMC and Misereor aim to promote increased capacity building and
leadership in circles of civil society, improve empowerment and
protection of migrants and their families, and strengthen rights-based conceptual thinking among policy-makers on
contemporary migration and development challenges.
Materials available on the site have been provided by a host of
quality sources and contributors, including Caritas
International, International Catholic Migration Commission,
International Trade Union Confederation, Jesuit Refugee Service,
Migrant Forum Asia, Public Services International and Quaker
Council for European Affairs, among many others.
MigrationAndDevelpment.net welcomes other civil society
organisations, NGOS and labour organisations to contribute any
materials they feel would be of benefit to the site.
