International Centre For Migration Policy Development (ICMPD)

The purpose of the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) is to promote innovative, comprehensive and sustainable migration policies and to function as a service exchange mechanism for governments and organisations. Migration is one of the most important political issues in the current debates - frequently connected with highly emotional, sometimes even extreme or populistic point of views. ICMPD strives for being a sober and neutral companion in this discourse by bringing all important players around the same table. ICMPD has vast experience in bridging the gap between theory and practice. According to that ICMPD provides policy makers and politicians with necessary groundwork to take decisions. Furthermore ICMPD is present on the ground, with its capacity building activities in various areas of migration management.
