By connecting stakeholders and leveraging non-traditional data sources to improve the understanding of migration and human mobility globally, the Alliance seeks to foster more cooperation across actors operating in a fast-moving world where a huge amount of data is being generated by the private sector and public-private data partnerships are still limited.

The new BD4M web page, data4migration.org serves as a digital hub for the Alliance’s activities. It aims to inform stakeholders about the BD4M members, its objectives, ongoing projects, upcoming events and opportunities for collaboration.

The BD4M will also help build data innovation capacities in various regions around the world, support research and knowledge management. As a next step, it will host a private-sector dialogue series to discuss ways for setting up the collaborative frameworks to make use of new data sources for migration.
