New York: The UN Network on Migration has launched its first online platform to share knowledge, expertise, good practices and initiatives on migration-related issues, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said.
The platform, named Migration Network Hub, aims to be a community tool for use by the UN member states, the IOM said in a statement on Thursday.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is an inter-governmental agreement prepared under the auspices of the UN.
The hub is expected to disseminate peer-reviewed information from different sources, such as reports by international organisations, academic articles and government statistics.
One of the key challenges this platform is supposed to address is the “proliferation of competing (and sometimes contradictory) information on migration”, the IOM said.
