Strengthening evidence-informed policymaking on migration

Key Messages

• The process of actively engaging with and creating spaces for reflecting on scientific evidence should be routinely incorporated in the policymaking process.
• For researchers, it is not enough to bring evidence to policymakers. It is also important to present evidence in a contextualised, structured and understandable way addressing a particular question.
• Impact assessments and option appraisals are important instruments to bring evidence and research to policy circles, and their use should be further promoted.
