The Global Forum on Migration and Development Civil Society Days is an annual meeting of civil society representatives held in conjunction with the Government Meeting of the Global Forum on Migration and Development.
The GFMD is open to any member state or observer of the United Nations as well as international organizations and civil society.
At the GFMD 2010 the Mexican Chair initiated a “Common Space” between civil society and governments.
The initiative was considered a success by both civil society and governments and was reprised at the GFMD 2011 in Geneva.
The first UN High Level Dialogue on Migration and Development since the creation of the GFMD is being held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City in 2013.
