The aim of the 2022 Migration week is to implement the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration to show Cooperation and Partnership.

The 2030 Plan for Sustainable Development acknowledges that migration is a strong driver of tolerable development for migrants and their societies. It carries important benefits in the form of skills, supporting the labour force, investment and cultural diversity, and donates to improving the lives of communities in their countries of origin through the transfer of talents and economic resources.

The advantages of migration should not be seen only from the viewpoint of what migrants can bring to any given environment. The relationship between migration and development is much more difficult: the political, social and economic processes of potential destination countries will also determine how, where and when migration happens.

If migration is poorly governed, it can also negatively affect development. Migrants can be put at risk, and residents can come under pressure.
