World Migration Report – Insights from policy officials

To inform the development of interactive digital tools tailored to policy officials’ needs, the Global Migration Centre first gathered insights from policy officers during September and early October 2021 1 about their use of migration knowledge products. Policy officer respondents were asked general questions about their access to and use of such products, as well as their specific experiences with the World Migration Report series.
