Actors, Projects, Topics

Within the SDC, there are different sections and departments working in the field of migration. Over the last few years, the number of SDC-internal actors involved in migration relevant projects has grown, and the SDC’s thematic orientation on migration has changed. Whereas the organisation traditionally focused primarily on refugees and human trafficking, new thematic fields such as labour migration and diaspora involvement have been recently added to the organization's thematic basket. This SDC-internal evolution goes hand in hand with the recent policy changes on the international level, reflecting an acknowledgement of the positive impact of migration on development. This has led many international actors (NGOs, governments, IGOs) to actively promote the integration of a migration perspective into development policies and strategies.

Currently, the following SDC sections are active, i.e. financing and coordinating projects, in the field of migration (the annual reports are accessible to network members only):
