Migration and Development

NewsStatementWhat to readPhotosVideos

Kofi Annan, in his preparatory document for the UN High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development (September 2006), stated that international migration related to development should be viewed not as a threat, but as an opportunity. A positive attitude towards migrants and migration, combined with sound migration policies, can result in a 'Triple Win'; beneficial effets for the country of origin, for the country of destination and for the migrants themselves.

Inspired by the notion of migration as a 'Triple Win' the Worldconnectors have drafted a bold yet positive Statement on Migration and Development in the Netherlands. To read more about the Worldconnectors dicussion of ways to make migration a successful and welcome feature of Dutch society, please view the full statement.
