Webinar: The Role of Secondary Cities in Promoting the Inclusion and Integration of Migrants

The Africa regional conference to review the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) is taking place at a time of growing acknowledgement for the need to collectively work to improve the governance of migration, as well as empower migrants to become positive engines for sustainable development. This first regional review in Africa provides a unique opportunity to build knowledge and foster dialogue among participants on key issues, as well as outline the challenges that hinder good migration governance in the continent.

Within the framework of the GCM conference, Cities Alliance, in partnership with UCLG Africa and The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), brings together urban actors from the Horn of Africa to promote the voices of secondary cities and their role in promoting the integration of refugees and migrants.

The session will be the occasion to discuss the role of secondary cities in the implementation of the GCM in Africa, the impact of migration and displacement on secondary cities along migratory routes, the importance of networking and dialogue for better integration of migrants and the necessary bridge from local to national and regional discussions for the implementation of the GCM in Africa.
