Grants and Contributions:
To provide Canada's funding contribution for one year to the organization to support the activities of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD).
In direct support of the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) implementation, funding will be used by the GFMD Working Group on Migration Narratives, which brings together government, local authorities, civil society and business. It provides an opportunity to demonstrate Canadian leadership by fostering global momentum to curb negative attitudes about migrants and promote balanced narratives on migration.
The Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) is a state-led, informal and non-binding process, which helps shape the global debate on migration and development. It provides a flexible, multi-stakeholder space where governments can discuss the multi-dimensional aspects, opportunities and challenges related to migration, development, and the link between these two areas.
The purpose of the IMCBP is to provide funding to eligible grant beneficiaries for initiatives that advance global migration policies and programs, in support of Canada’s migration and humanitarian objectives.
