El Diálogo Internacional sobre Migración (IDM) de la OIM ha desempeñado un papel pionero al reunir a todos los actores de la migración, a nivel global, para mantener debates libres y abiertos sobre las oportunidades y desafíos que presenta la migración.

El IDM proporciona un espacio para analizar cuestiones actuales y emergentes en la gobernanza de la migración e intercambiar experiencias, enfoques de políticas y prácticas efectivas. Cada año, la IDM se guía por un tema general seleccionado por los miembros de la OIM a través de un proceso de consultas informales. El tema anual se elabora durante talleres que reúnen a responsables de políticas migratorias y profesionales de todo el mundo. Las publicaciones de esta serie presentan informes de las sesiones y ofrecen a los lectores una recopilación de datos relevantes, evidencia, mejores prácticas, enfoques innovadores y recomendaciones relevantes para la implementación del Pacto Mundial tal como fueron compartidas por expertos en migración, gobiernos y profesionales en esas reuniones.
