    The event “Harnessing data innovation for migration policy in Europe and Africa: State of the art and future directions” will be a space to reflect on how data innovation can concretely help to improve evidence on migration for policymaking, as per Objective 1 of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), and obtain insights on how to overcome some of the main challenges associated with new data sources and innovative methodologies.

    The event will bring together experts in governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society to accelerate the use of non-traditional data sources and methods for migration-related policy in Europe and Africa. Participants will have an opportunity to:

    1. explore existing efforts in harnessing data innovation for migration analysis and policy in Europe and Africa;
    2. discuss policy priorities of European and African countries and regions driving the need for timely, robust and comprehensive evidence; and
    3. define future steps and capacities needed to develop data innovation initiatives at scale, particularly in terms of data governance.

    This event took place on 29 November 2021 at the Robert Bosch Foundation in Berlin with a hybrid format (virtual and in-person). Outcomes of the discussions will be taken forward and integrated into capacity-development programs focused on data innovation and migration over the next years.
