In West and Central Africa, IOM offers assistance to 23 Member States in their development planning and in follow-up and review processes. There have been multiple recent calls for migration policies and initiatives to be rooted in knowledge and data; evidence-based planning is also more likely to be innovative and effective. UN activities at country level in support of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda stem directly from Member States’ priorities and are informed by Common Country Analyses. IOM plays a key role in mainstreaming migration in the work of UN Country Teams and will continue to do so with the roll out of the UN’s new Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks. Furthermore, in Dakar, a Regional UN Network on Migration was created for West and Central Africa, bringing together UN agencies working on migration in the region. Its role is to offer coordinated and system-wide support on migration-related issues to countries in the region.
