Recommendations by Christian organisations to the GFMD in Athens
At the eve of this Global Forum we acknowledge that progress has been made concerning the diversity of participants and the improved interface sessions between governmental representatives and civil society representatives. However there is still room for further development. Our organisations hope that the Forum further enriches ways of accommodating migration through developmental initiatives and to identify sustainable migration policies that will lead to improved development outcomes and promote a more dynamic partnership between countries of origin, transit and destination.
