Â鶹APP

Overview     

Over the past years, issues of international migration have gained prominence in the international agenda. Recognizing the need to review and coordinate the growing information on international migration among interested organizations, the Population Division of the Â鶹APP Secretariat held a Coordination Meeting on International Migration on 11-12 July 2002, at Â鶹APP Headquarters, in New York City.

The primary objectives of the meeting were three-fold: (a) to share and exchange information on data collection activities - existing and planned – in the area of international migration, and their use; (b) to identify the major gaps or areas of missing information; and (c) to facilitate the coordination of activities of the various offices within the Â鶹APP system and other relevant international and regional organizations as well as institutions concerned with international migration.
