Welcome

Global Migration Policy Associates (GMPA) is an international association of recognized experts working together to address international migration from a truly global, multidisciplinary and rights-based perspective. Our concept note provides a detailed profile of GMPA; see a short summary "About GMPA" (2-page brief).

This website features documentation produced by GMPA and member Associates to support and improve migration governance, policy, and practice. More than 200 research papers, policy briefs and other documents on main migration topics are posted. More are constantly added. Materials on this site have informed and shaped laws, policies and practices of governments, international organizations, social partners, NGOs and other stakeholders in all world regions. Please contact GMPA if we can be of service!
