The Dominican Republic is one of the 190 countries committed to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and therefore, the development of national indicators and targets is strategic to ensure the monitoring and implementation of the migration related policies vis-à-vis the 2030 National Development Strategy and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The objective of this project is to contribute to the national efforts to measure the progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals related to migration, through the following strategy:
1) Strengthening the capacities of the institutions in charge of the formulation, implementation, and measurement of migration policy towards the SDGs. Main activities of this component include training and technical assistance to facilitate the definition of indicators and targets on migration, and reporting mechanisms.
In collaboration with the National Institute of Migration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and among others, the Ministry of Interior and Police, this initiative will ensure that the SDGs are met, with special emphasis on the goals and lines of action related to migration management.
