The Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) is a state-led, informal and non-binding process, which helps shape the global debate on migration and development. Since 2016, the GFMD invites the private sector to contribute to its deliberation through a channel named GFMD Business Mechanism. The International Organisation of Employers (IOE) coordinates the input of the private sector through the Business Advisory Group on Migration, which aims at strengthening the dialogue between businesses and governments on migration related topics.

The regional workshop for South America was held in Buenos Aires from the 9-10 October 2019. The workshop bought together representatives from businesses, governments and from regional and international agencies from Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela. The purpose of workshop was twofold:

  1. To identify solutions for improved regulatory frameworks on migration that considers businesses’ needs in the region.
  2. To discuss the impact on businesses of migration policies in South America and find common ground for improvement.
