Sustainable Development Goal 10 stresses the need to ‘facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people', including through 'the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies’. Given the current trend of rising global migration patterns, in terms of refugees, displaced persons and economic migrants, it is imperative that policymakers and stakeholders enhance their capacity to effectively manage migration.
