ABOUT US
MAKING MIGRATION BETTER The International Centre for Migration Policy Devel-opment (ICMPD) is an international organisation with 19 Member States and more than 460 staff members. Active in more than 90 countries worldwide, it takes a regional approach in its work to create efficient co-operation and partnerships along migration routes. Priority regions include Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, Mediterranean, Silk Routes, Western Bal-kans and Turkey. Its three-pillar approach to migration management – structurally linking research, migration dialogues and capacity building – contributes to better migration policy development worldwide.
The Vienna-based organisation has a mission in Brus-sels, regional offices in Ankara and Malta as well as project offices in several countries. ICMPD receives
funding from its Member States, the European Com-mission, the UN and other multilateral institutions, as well as bilateral donors. Founded in 1993, ICMPD holds UN observer status and cooperates with more than 240 partners including EU institutions and UN agencies.
Migration is one of the most important political issues in current public debates and ICMPD strives to be an objective and fair-minded companion in this context. It aims to shape a nuanced discourse and facilitate dia-logue between all relevant stakeholders. ICMPD bases its work on knowledge and solid evidence and has vast experience in bridging the gap between theory and practice. Thus, ICMPD is able to provide policymak-ers and politicians with the necessary groundwork to make critical decisions. Furthermore, ICMPD is present on the ground with capacity building activities in vari-ous areas of migration management.

Training, capacity building pro-grammes, workshops, study visits, facilitation of international and in-teragency cooperation and support in institution building.
OUR THREE-PRONGED APPROACH
ICMPD strives for comprehensive, sustainable and future-oriented migration governance and applies a three-pronged approach: capacity building, migration dialogues, and research. These three elements feed into each other and together they represent the “DNA” of ICMPD.
Drawing on the three-pronged approach, ICMPD sup-ports its Member States and partners by sharing with them its in-house knowledge and profound expertise in all fields of migration management. As the facilitator of several migration dialogues, ICMPD is in a unique posi-tion in terms of its regional networks, knowledge and geographic and thematic outreach.
Vienna Migration Conference
The Vienna Migration Conference (VMC) is ICMPD’s an-nual flagship event for discussing the most challenging issues in the field of migration together with political decision makers, government experts, and represent-atives from the academic world, the media, and civil society. The VMC discusses these issues from a Europe-an perspective as well as from the perspective of our many partners from outside Europe. It aims to identify where progress has been made, whilst also focusing on persistent gaps and remaining unresolved questions.
