The fourth annual GFMD is being held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on November 10 & 11, 2010.
The GFMD is a process wherein governments participate voluntarily, informally and not binding. Policymakers from all over the world participate to share experiences, identify the best practices and encourage cooperation among nations to use migration for the benefit of development. The first GFMD was carried out in July 2007, in Brussels, the second one in Manila (October 2008) and the third one in Athens (November 2009). The Civil Society Days are a forum for the Civil Organizations to discuss the relationship between migration and development through an informal and not binding process.
The application process for NGOs to participate in the 2010 Civil Society Days has opened. For more information go to: http://www.gfmd2010mexico.org/gf_page.aspx?dir=formas&page=formas
