1st Migration for Development Virtual Fair, 2-3 Nov 2009
Dear all,
The *EC-UN Joint Migration and Development Initiative (JMDI)* cordially
invites you to take part in the *Migration and Development Virtual Fair 2009
*. The M&D Virtual Fair will be held in parallel with the Global Forum on
Migration and Development (GFMD) Civil Society Days on *Monday 2nd and
Tuesday 3rd November 2009* and will be the first M&D event of its kind,
bringing together thousands of virtual visitors from around the world*.*
The 2009 Virtual Fair builds on the first M&D Knowledge Fair in Brussels in
December 2008, where hundreds of members of diaspora groups and
representatives of NGOs, local authorities from developing and European
countries, the EU institutions and UN agencies gathered to share information
and ideas based on their experiences in the field of migration and
development. The Virtual Fair on 2nd and 3rd November 2009 will
feature an *Exhibition
of M&D projects* from around the world, *video interviews* with key actors
from international organizations and civil society, and a *daily blog from
the GFMD*. Participants will be able to *post questions and comments online
to key participants at the GFMD*.
*Who can take part in the M&D Virtual Fair? *
Anyone with an interest in Migration and Development can register to take
part in the Virtual Fair at www.migration4development.org.
*Background:*
The JMDI is a three-year programme funded by the European Union and
implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in
partnership with the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United
Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The
overall objective of the EC-UN Joint Migration and Development Initiative is
to support civil society organizations and local authorities seeking to
contribute to linking migration and development.
The Joint Initiative aims to 1) set up and reinforce networks of actors
working on migration and development and 2) identify good practices and
share information on what actually works at the local and international
level among those who are active in this field with a view to 3) feeding
into policy-making on migration and development.
The JMDI sets out to do this through a *Call for Proposals* providing
approximately 10 million Euro in funding to support 55 concrete projects in
four priority areas: 1) Migrant remittances; 2) Migrant communities; 3)
Migrant capacities; 4) Migrant rights. The projects are implemented through
partnerships linking civil society groups and local authorities from the
European Union member states and their counterparts in sixteen target
countries (Jamaica, Ecuador; Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia; Georgia, Moldova;
the Philippines, Sri Lanka; Mali, Cape Verde, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria).
The JMDI has also launched an online global *Community of Practice*, M4D-Net
(www.migration4development.org), which brings individuals and groups from
around the world together to exchange information and ideas on migration and
development, develop skills and provide each other with mutual support. Over
1,000 practitioners are already members of this Community of Practice and we
warmly encourage you to join!
Please do circulate this email widely among your contacts.
We look forward to interacting with you online next week!
Best regards,
The JMDI Team
