| The
movement of people will be one of the most important domestic, developmental
and foreign policy issues for governments over the next decade. International
migration, asylum and immigration will form part of a wider debate
around globalisation and its effects on poor people and lower income
countries.
The Migration team in DFID-London has produced a policy paper on migration and development, Moving out of Poverty – Making Migration Work Better for Poor People. The paper explains how DFID will deal with the effects of migration in its poverty reduction programmes, working with partners at a national and international level. The UN High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development which took place in New York (14-15 September 2006) was the first such meeting of its kind and demonstrates the growing importance of the connection between migration and development. At this meeting, States agreed that it would be useful to continue discussions and a proposal for a Global Forum on Migration and Development was supported. The first forum will be hosted by the Belgian government and will take place in Brussels from the 10-11 July.
