Guidance note: Integrating migration in voluntary national reviews
July 2023
In close collaboration with the United Nations country team, the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) supports member States by delivering technical advice on their voluntary national reviews (VNRs). The present document provides guidance to member States on integrating migration in their VNRs of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, so as to ensure that migrants are not left behind.
Integrating migration issues in countries’ sustainable development policies is essential for maximizing the positive benefits of migration and reducing its negative aspects. The present guidance note provides an overview of key migration terms and trends in the Arab region, examines the connections between migration and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), offers step-by-step instructions on how to report on the SDGs through a migration-sensitive lens, lists best practices, and suggests additional resources for improving migration policymaking post-VNRs.
