Integration of migrants and migration in recovery and reconstruction plans

Host States will develop plans for recovery and reconstruction. Migration and migrants should be incorporated into recovery and reconstruction plans. Factors to consider include:

• Whether migrants with particular skills are needed;
• Whether development frameworks need to be adjusted as a result of a crisis, and if so, how to incorporate migration and migrants when making those adjustments;
• Addressing potential tensions between local populations who may perceive migrants as competition, including in the context of reconstruction efforts;
• Engaging employers and relevant ministries, such as labor and economic ministries, to develop plans and understand labor market needs.
