The Civil Society Action Committee

Platform for global civil society engagement on migration policy and governance

Civil Society Action Committee (AC) members and partners work towards three primary objectives:

Timely and strategic information-sharing on global migration policy and governance. 

Collective and coherent civil society strategising and action.

Increasing and democratising access for civil society engagement at all levels.
