results will feed the Global Hearing in 2012, which is going to be an interactive two-day working conference. Marking the tenth anniversary of the Declaration of The Hague, the Global Hearing will help set priorities and a new mandate for THP as a catalyst, facilitator and innovator in the field. Thanks to the continuing support of the various stakeholders in the field of refugees and migration, The Hague Process has managed to prepare an ambitious work programme. I would thus like to thank our partners and donors, the Club of The Hague and the Secretariat for having committed themselves to The Hague Process, and for working in such a constructive and supportive way in 2010. I look forward to continuing our cooperation in the next period to come.
HRH Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands, Chairman of the Board
The year 2010 marked the beginning of a new era for The Hague Process on Refugees and Migration (THP). After a period of pioneering, THP has entered a transition phase of further professiona-lization, moving to a more structured and stable environment. The appointment of an executive director next to the director of external relations, should accelerate this process. In addition, a new and outcome-oriented strategy for action was adopted, stating clear priorities for the five years to come; taking into account the changing migration and refugee trends. Lack of evidence on migration flows, the socio-economic effects and motives to move have hampered coherent policymaking. Also new players have come to the fore playing a critical role in the demand for migration based labour and in the ef-fective and fair management of migration. There-fore THP has reoriented itself towards supporting evidence based policy making especially in the context of the business sector and local govern-ment. Migration is more and more perceived by these actors as an important condition in the global race for top talent. But also for mid and lower skills the supply and demand for migrant labour and subsequent need for effective management is rapidly growing. Nevertheless, many of these actors still operate in a rather fragmented manner. THP has thus been facilitating coordinated collabora-tion globally between these actors in the field of refugees and migration. This year and next will see a series of activities in a number of locations across the world to review evidence and discuss policy consequences. The

and suggestions for the upcoming consultations planned for 2011 in different world regions and leading towards our Global Hearing in 2012.
Looking ahead, THP will continue to strengthen its role and reach as a facilitator of an informed refugee and migration debate and a promoter of innovative, visionary policies on refugee and migration issues. We will engage people in a direct manner and reinvigorate commitment to THP’s vision and objectives.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our donors, partners, volunteers, Club and Board members, for their valuable support and advice over the past year. THP remains largely dependent on their commitment, and we hope to intensify our cooperation and welcome new partners on the road towards the Global Hearing in 2012.
It is with pleasure that we present to you this Annual Report of The Hague Process on Refugees and Migration (THP). We hope that you will find it a useful overview of our activities and achieve-ments over the course of 2010.
At the end of 2010, The Hague Process on Re-fugees and Migration (THP) is at a crossroads. Looking back at what has been achieved so far and looking forward to the next step, 2010 has turned out a crucial year in the development of THP as a multidisciplinary forum for presenting ideas to advance the agenda on refugees and migration. Allow us to guide you through a few highlights of our work in the previous year.
First, THP has adopted an outcome-oriented Strategic and Action Plan 2010-2015, a new house style as well as a newly designed website.
Second, considerable progress has been made in the evidence based approach. In collaboration with renowned academicians and with the support of various sponsors, a first phase in carving out THP’s role as knowledge broker has been initiated. In three separate research projects we have started to explore the state of art and play in migration research and the future of global migration.
Third, the combination of the Business and Cities working strands has produced a first exploratory session in The Hague (23 November 2010), con-vening experts from both perspectives around the topic of migration, business and urbanisation. This successful session has generated valuable insights

MissionThe Hague Process on Refugees and Migration Foundation (THP) has as its mission to support the implementation of its 2002 Declaration. To this end THP aims to: • create a truly comprehensive and fully repre-
sentative network of all stakeholders affected by and affecting migration in all its forms at local, national, regional and global levels;
• facilitate and increase constructive communica-tion within and between all stakeholder groups;
• create more informed awareness and engagement in stakeholder settings and utilisation of existing networks for positive change in the perception of refugees and migration;
• create a strong knowledge base of research and issues in the field of refugees and migration through monitoring, identification, coordina-tion, prioritisation and dissemination within and outside the network;
• develop practical solutions enabling orderly and beneficial mobility, tailored to the issues and stakeholders in question through coordination of expertise and resources;
• accelerate policy-to-practice solutions by provi-ding access to best practices; and
• ensure a sustainable working model of the orga-nisation that is flexible to the changing needs of the network and the global environment.
VisionThe 2002 Declaration of The Hague on the Future of Refugee and Migration Policy is based on the vision of a just world in which refugees and mi-grants contribute to economic and social develop-ment, cultural richness and diversity, without suf-fering discrimination and human rights violations.
Mission stAteMentTo facilitate globally coordinated collaboration in the field of refugees and migration, in all its forms, with a focus on protecting human rights through policy development and engendering effective policy-to-practice solutions.
for national economies and individual companies in the competition for talent. The discourse sur-rounding migration, however, remains sensitive and is often framed around the notion of security, whereas refugees and people in refugee-like situati-ons increasingly appear to be completely excluded from the international policy debate altogether. Alarmingly, the issue of stateless persons is hardly being addressed.1
The Hague Process on Refugees and Migration (THP) recognises that refugee movements and migration in all its forms is an unavoidable reality, but also acknowledges the associated potential to contribute positively to individual, economic and social development. As an independent forum bringing together a multidisciplinary global net-work of stakeholders, THP contributes to finding policy solutions to ongoing refugee and migration challenges.
‘Our starting point is to re-think the long term interests of states and societies as well as the aspirations and needs of people on the move (…) With good international cooperation, managed migration offers great potential, while one of the international community’s major goals for the future should be to make the right and the option of remaining in one’s own country viable for all. International refugee protection is a vital human rights achievement, but the coming decades require renewed effort to advance internationally agreed human rights norms, to tackle conflict pre-vention and the resolution of protracted conflicts.’
Preamble, Declaration of The Hague on the Future of Refugee and Migration Policy, 2002
The nature of refugee and migration flows is changing rapidly, particularly as a result of new economic, technological, social and political rea-lities, such as the immediate impact of the global economic crisis, evolving demographics and the ef-fects of environmental degradation. These impacts raise major new opportunities and challenges that are as yet not sufficiently under-stood, acknowledged, addressed or even debated, since the stakeholder population is rather fragmented, with many actors still operating only in their own field.
Nonetheless, migration has gained more attention in recent years, in particular at the international level. Migration is beginning to be per-ceived as an important condition

gement at all levels to achieve effective, practical solutions, whilst at the same time reducing the duplication of efforts and the resources necessary by individual stakeholders; and
• accelerate the pace of policy-to-practice imple-mentation of practical solutions.
Through addressing the stated objectives in its process, THP aims to contribute towards the following outcomes:• improvement of opportunities for the social and
economic development of communities affected by refugee movements and migration;
• provide a contribution to the reduction of poverty;
• increase protection for refugees, migrants, IDP’s and stateless persons;
• reduce the ‘legal voids’ that enable human traf-ficking (thus reducing the number of victims);
• considerably reduce the risk of social unrest; and• increase access for refugees and migrants to ade-
quate housing, education, health coverage and employment opportunities.
goVeRnAnceIn addition to the new strategic plan, THP adop-ted a new organisational structure for its Board and Secretariat in 2010. The Board of THP appointed Walter Schmid2 as its Deputy Chairman. Further-more, David Arkless3 was welcomed as a new Board Member. The Secretariat was expanded by the appointment of an Executive Director along-side the Director of External Relations. // See p. 25

will gather stakeholders from a multidisciplinary background, including high level representatives from international organisations, civil society, busi-nesses and governments, as well participants from the expert consultations. // See p. 16.
the 2010-2015 objectiVesThe Strategic Plan for the period between 2010 and 2015 includes a more focussed short-to-medi-um-term Action Plan. Communication, collabora-tion, comprehension of the interconnected nature of existing challenges and issues, and the need to focus on finding solutions underpin the new Strategy and Action Plan.
The 2010 – 2015 objectives are to:• rationalise the refugee and migration debate by
building a more solid research-based evidence base for refugee related, migration and mobility policies;
• reduce the barriers to migration that hinder individual, labour, economic and community development;
• increase the implementation of adequate policy
bAckgRound And contextTHP was formed in 2000 under the guiding vision of a just world where refugees and migrants contri-bute to economic and social development, cultural richness and diversity without suffering discrimi-nation and human rights violations. Much has changed since then and many new challenges have arisen on the refugee and migration agenda, such as environmental concerns, the global economic crisis and the global competition for talent.
In 2009 THP embarked on an in-depth analy-sis of its activities to date, its place in the world of refugees and migration, and its future role. Hereafter, the Club of The Hague developed a new strategy and approach to reflect developments in the field of refugees and migration, in close consultation with its donor partners. In addition, THP started an extensive branding exercise, marking a necessary shift in its approach. These efforts resulted in THP adopting a new strategy for action in 2010 in order to adapt to the changing refugee, migration, and development landscape.
globAl heARing 2012THP is currently planning a Global Hearing on Refugees and Migration in 2012, a 2-day global, interactive and multidisciplinary working con-ference. The aim of the Hearing will be to create consensus on an action plan for bringing about more rational and forward-looking refugee and migration policies and support for the required facilities and infrastructure.

coMMunicAtion THP is developing a virtual platform and other communication activities so as to facilitate and accelerate the development of practical solutions in the field of refugee and migration policy. In addition, THP sees it as its task to maintain and extend the THP network, and to support the Club of The Hague as a think tank for global leaders on refugee and migration matters, within a human rights and development perspective.
business networks and large enterprises have started to look at issues of migration and diversity management more directly. Large companies and networks are increasingly engaging in investigati-ons and debates on migration related issues. With good international cooperation, managed and organised migration offers great potential for the business sector. // See p. 16
citiesLocal governments are key stakeholders and players in the field of migration. Cities are the places where most challenges of migration occur and need to be solved. Urbanisation is one of the most important global trends affecting and affected by refugee and migration flows. Cities all over the world are nodes of both domestic and international migration. Initiatives to support the social inclu-sion of migrants and to deploy their capacities and potential are key to processes to strengthen local society and economic growth. // See p. 16
As previously mentioned, after having consulted with its donor community THP has developed a new strategy and approach in 2010 to reflect de-velopments in the field of refugees and migration. This reassessment reflects the fast changing nature of the refugee and migrant flows and development across the world, and focusses the scope of THP’s efforts with the aim of ensuring that stakeholders continue to receive value from the organisation.
The strategic plan targets four key priori-ties identified from past strengths of THP, as well as current key areas of impact in the field of refugees, migration and de-velopment. The development of the four areas is intended to build the foundation on a policy-to-practice approach, ideally over a 24-month period.
The four key areas identified as priorities, seen as a virtual circle in which each area reinforces the other, are:

The Club of The Hague, founded in 2003, is the high-level advisory body of THP. It convenes every year, providing policy direction and discussing key topics on the refugee and migration agenda, within a development and human rights perspec-tive. The IXth Meeting of The Club of The Hague, on 22 November 2010, discussed and advised on present and future developments in international migration (forced and voluntary); current and future challenges in the field of refugees and migration, in particular globalisation and urbanisation, and the role of cities and business in refugee and migration policy.

• Compendium of Rights Related to Migration II
Examination and analysis of all migration related provisions in international human rights law. This research is aimed at improving the under-standing of the relationship between migrants and human rights law. It supplements the first Compendium (focussing on the ‘hard’ provisions of binding international law) by compiling rele-vant soft-law instruments on the human rights of migrants. The Compendium will be published in the course of 2011.
looking foRwARdIn 2011 the research projects State of Play, Compen-dium of Rights Related to Migration II and Global Migration Futures will be finalised and published. Dissemination and publication of the results will be a priority and a follow-up is to be developed. The currently identified research is to be com-plemented by means of continued monitoring of available research and research projects, and identification of new research to be commissioned. Key elements are the adequate relevance for and dissemination to stakeholders.

A comprehensive overview and analysis of the conclusions and recommendations of the six ma-jor intergovernmental initiatives on international migration in the last two decades (such as the International Conference on Population and De-velopment, and the Global Forum on Migration and Development), in partnership with Khalid Koser (Brookings Institute; Geneva Centre for Security Policy). The publication has been finalised and distributed among key actors in the GFMD process, Club of The Hague Members, and the THP network. It is also accessible via THPs website.
• State of Play In partnership with Western Union, THP
has been executing a global analysis of cur-rent (2005-2010) migration research for policy development relevant to the business sector and cities, issued by non-governmental bodies. It attempts both to characterise available relevant studies, as well as to distil significant conclusi-ons and recommendations that could support evidence-based policy-making. Major gaps and overlap in research will be specified. The research report will be published in April 2011.
THP has made the promotion of an evidence based approach one of its top priorities. THP aims to pro-vide a global review and analysis of current, reliable research relevant to refugee and migration policy development. By conducting such an overview and by making it readily accessible to stakeholders, THP aims to improve awareness and understanding, prevent duplication of efforts, and identify gaps in existing research. Furthermore, the analysis of the research will distil and prioritise recommendations to facilitate this process for the stakeholders, as well as provide content for the solutions-finding process that THP has made an integrated component of its strategy.
ActiVities And publicAtions• Future Scenarios Workshop // June 2010 As part of the Global Migration Futures-project

• Intensified cooperation with numerous cities and businesses
Throughout the year, THP has extended its contacts with cities, such as Amman, New Delhi, Toronto and Istanbul. In addition, coopera-tion was intensified with numerous businesses. Active participation in conferences on the role of businesses or cities, such as the 2010 Cities For Migration Conference and the World Economic Forum, has further increased THPs network and expertise on this topic.
looking foRwARdStarting in 2011 THP will organise at least four Expert Consultations involving, amongst others, representatives from business and cities, discussing the processes of migration and urbanisation in a multidisciplinary setting. The consultations will take place in the separate regions of the world in order to clarify the differences in context, priorities and problem statement. The findings of these mee-tings will culminate in the Global Hearing, which will be organised by THP at the beginning of 2012 in The Hague // see p. 10. This multi-stakeholder hearing will reflect the outcomes of THP’s efforts over the last ten years and will help set the refugee and migration agenda for the decade to come.
The globalised economy and urbanisation will be key drivers of migration in the decade to come. Companies are gradually starting to realise the need for a coordinated approach to migration-rela-ted issues in the framework of the global competi-tion for talent and increasing cultural diversity. In turn, local governments face the challenge of de-vising new visions for absorbing migrants in their often rapidly expanding cities. Both parties have an interest in finding common ground, discovering possibilities and opportunities to achieve their ob-jectives together. Consequently, THP has decided to combine the Business Sector and Cities working strands into one event where possible. THP has thus taken the initiative to invite representatives of businesses and local governments to joint Expert Consultations on migration, urbanisation and the role of business. ActiVities And publicAtions• Explorative Consultation on Urbanisation and
Migration // November 2010 In the presence of national policy makers and

By increasing constructive communication and creating a virtual platform, THP aims to achieve practical solutions, while reducing the duplication of efforts and maximising the resources necessary of individual stakeholders. After formulating an initial communication plan, outlining the priorities with regard to communication, THP has divided the work into two phases.
In the first phase of this project, THP focused on its primary means of communication, such as a new logo, a website and an up-to-date network da-tabase. In 2010 THP completed the in-depth ana-lysis of its activities and embarked on an extensive branding exercise. THP finalised the first phase of the ‘Communication’ working strand by launching its new website and house style.
ActiVities And publicAtions• New website // October 2010 In October 2010 THP launched its new website.

• Network mailing // December 2010 An initial mailing to THPs entire network has
been launched, in order to update existing con-tact information and to strengthen the network.
looking foRwARdIn 2011 THP will expand its current communi-cation activities. The communication plan will be expanded, resulting in Phase II of the communi-cation activities. THP envisages more sophisti-cated means of communication, such as targeted distribution lists, more interactive features on the website for specific audiences, and webcasts of selected event sessions.

bReAkdown of expendituReFor 2010 the management board decided not to al-locate fixed operating costs to THP’s projects. This has resulted in operating expenditures of 77.5% of the budget, and project related costs accounting for 22.5% of the budget. Operating costs consist of five main categories: personnel costs, office rental, travel and accommodation costs, website and com-munication costs, administrative and accountancy costs. 96% of project related costs pertain to ‘the Evidence Base’ (research projects).
intRoductionOver the past few years, the financial position of THP has been stable, enabling THP to secure its goals. For the fourth time in the six year history of the Foundation the Board can report a posi-tive result over the reporting year. Although the directorate is aware of the fragile financial basis of the Foundation, there is no great cause for concern with regard to its ongoing activities – in light of THP’s objectives. The total income (€ 393.651) exceeded total expenditure (€ 390.373), which accounts for a positive result of € 3.278 over the reporting year. This result leads to a positive equity of € 35.977 as of 31 December 2010.
fundingFor its funding, THP is fully dependent on grants and donations. THP aims to develop sustainable ties with several committed funding partners with whom cooperation has grown strong over the past few years. Special mention should be made of the Municipality of The Hague for supporting the THP secretariat in many ways. We are very thank-ful to all our sponsors, and hope to continue our partnerships in the coming years.
bReAkdown of incoMeTotal income over 2010 was €393.651. Income in 2010 has come from six principal donors (Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Manpower, Western Union, ICCO, Sigrid Rausing Founda-tion). Roughly 31% of total income came from government sources, 35% from the private sector and 34% from foundations.

Hague’, THP undertook an intensive process of updating and repositioning its focus and aims so as to adapt to the quickly changing world and ensure a position of added-value for its key stake-holders. The ongoing rapid global developments in the field of migration, understood in all its forms, as in other areas, required a new strategy and approach. The long term strategy (2010-2015) was drafted inclusive of a more focused short to medium term action plan that would target the areas identified as the past strengths of THP as well as the current key areas of impact in the field of migration and development, these being the Business Sector and Big Cities. The key elements of communication, collaboration, understanding the issues and their interlinked nature and, most particularly, the need to focus on finding solutions, have become the fundamen-tals of the new strategy and action plan that THP aims to address in an efficient and complemen-tary manner so as to advance the best interests of the stakeholders at large.
The Hague Process on Refugees and Migration (THP) is a network organisation that started activities in 2000 focussing on developing new visions and insights, through drawing on a wide range of global resources. THP has since establis-hed itself as an independent and non-political forum for discussion about refugees and migra-tion within a human rights and development perspective. As such, THP has taken the role of a ‘bridge-builder’ between interested governments and governmental institutions on the one hand, and civil society - including academia, voluntary organisations and faith groups as well as the business, local government, education, and health sectors - on the other, actively engaging both established and new players.
Following the publication of the ‘Declaration of The Hague on the Future of Refugee and Migration Policies’ in 2002, THP has done pioneering work with respect to the involvement of the business sector and local authorities in the refugee and migration field, as well as on bridging the gap between migration and development and migration and human rights, while ensuring that the voice of various regions in the world would be heard. As a catalyst and facilitator for the development of innovative refugee and migration policies, THP has sought to connect and give a voice to various stakeholders that have an interest in the field.
In 2009-2010, following the advice from its donors and its advisory council, the ‘Club of The

oRgAnizAtionAl oVeRViewTHP is a multi-layered organisation that is small at its core and large in its reach. The extensive THP network is a wide collection of diverse stakeholders involved in refugee and migration issues, who have shown an active interest in THPs activities and goals. Included in the Network is the Club of The Hague, a select group of international leaders on refugee and migration issues. It bundles the views of partners in the Network and meets annually in The Hague. The input from the Club of The Hague serves as the roadmap for the actual THP Foundation. The Foundation, consisting of Board and Secretariat, translates the ideas of The Club into concrete activities, research and communication. The Board meets twice a year to discuss broad policy directives and opera-tional management. A Management Board, consisting of three Board Members, is involved on a more frequent basis to provide guidance to the Secretariat.

the boARdThe Board formally represents the THP Founda-tion. Its composition ensures that legal, economic, financial, administrative, and communication expertise are present alongside the essential know-ledge of refugee, migration, and development issues and international networks. The Management Board, composed of the Chairman, Deputy Chairman and Treasurer of the Board, meets on a monthly basis by teleconference to review project status, monitor finances and strategic implementation as well as take neces-sary decisions. Where necessary, the Management Board will defer and make recommendations to the Board, who takes decisions on main items such as strategy development. The Board meets twice a year.
the netwoRkTHP is an extensive multi-disciplinary global network of individuals, public and civil society organisations and institutions with expertise in refugee and migration issues.Members originate from more than 80 countries, with increasing representation from the South. The experience, seniority and level of involvement of the contacts with individual members of the network varies widely, from policy contributions to mere informational exchange.
The network functions in the following ways: • as a pool of expertise from which THP draws
for participants for seminars, workshops and conferences;
• as a source of direct partners to conduct and follow-up on THPs projects;
• as a sounding board and testing ground for generating new ideas and outputs;
