MADE Civil Society Webinar in preparation for the September High Level Summit on Refugees and Migrants

Register here to join us for a discussion of key civil society advocacy targets for the 19 September High-Level Summit, in an “Open Call” webinar for civil society actors Monday 11 July from 3pm to 4.30pm (GMT +1). The civil society document “A new Deal for refugees, migrants and societies” will be one of the principal focuses of the conversation.

The webinar is being organized by the civil society Action Committee for the 19 September Summit - a group of 22 civil society organizations active in refugee protection and migrant rights around the world, convened by the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC), the International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVA) and the NGO Committee on Migration/New York. Separate from the UN-led Steering Committee for civil society participation within the Summit process, this civil society self-organized Action Committee is focused on advocacy and implementation of commitments in and following the High-Level Summit.
