193 UN MEMBER STATES RECOGNIZED THE NEED and committed to developing a Global Compact on Refugees and adopting a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM). (Marrakech Treaty on Migration. 10-11.12. 2018.)
The GCM proposes a framework for cooperation that includes 23 goals, implementation, and follow-up and review. Each goal implies a commitment as well as a set of actions that are considered relevant policy instruments and examples of good practice.
All Member States seeking support for the implementation of the GCM (Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration) are eligible to benefit from the Multi-Partnership Trust Fund for Migration.
According to the latest data, 99 countries and regions have submitted applications to the Multi-Partnership Trust Fund for Migration, with a total of 31 joint program concepts submitted. They have already been pre-approved in this form and are included in the “pipeline” (awaiting funding).
Kyrgyzstan has not yet submitted an application to this fund (KR is also a member).
Interested organizations can prepare a conceptual application jointly with the state and UN agencies and receive funding to solve migration problems as part of the implementation of the GCM.
