Migration is a global phenomenon that has its pitfalls as well as its advantages. Its economic importance especially in impacting on the development of the host or destination country is great. In the same vein, migration may negatively impact on the economic system of a country to the detriment of all. One seemingly obvious trend is that movement from the global south to the global north in large proportion is incontestable. Can we engage ourselves in disscussions on very many "whys"? Can we share the opinions of development practitioners from the Global North on the impact of migration on economy and probably look at the issue of networking amongst CSOs or NGOs and development experts across the globe.
I work for organizations dealing with migration, poverty and devlopment in Nigeria. I encourage to hear from colleagues with whom we can collaborate on the issue of Migration for Development; a new initiative led by UNDP in Brussel.
