The UN Network on Migration has launched its first online platform to share “knowledge, expertise, good practices and initiatives” on migration-related issues, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said.

The platform, named Migration Network Hub, aims to be a community tool for use by the UN member states, the IOM said in a statement on Thursday.

The tool was designed to encourage online discussions, and resource and publication-sharing and its users can attend webinars, the IOM said, adding that later this year, “governments will have access to migration-related services and support”, Xinhua news agency reported.

The UN Network on Migration was established in December 2018 to strengthen cooperation on migration, with the IOM playing a central role in the institution.
