International Migration Review Forum 2026 - Informal interactive multi-stakeholder hearing
The Informal Interactive Multi-Stakeholder Hearing provides an inclusive and participatory platform for stakeholders, in to engage directly with Member States ahead of the IMRF. The hearing enables diverse perspectives, lived experiences, and evidence-based recommendations to inform deliberations and contribute to the development of the Progress Declaration.
The Forum will consist of four interactive multi-stakeholder round tables; a policy debate, at the beginning of which the technical summaries of the round tables will be presented; and the plenary.
The Forum will be preceded by a one-day informal interactive multi-stakeholder hearing on 4 May 2026, with all relevant stakeholders. A summary of the hearing will be presented during the opening segment of the plenary.
The Forum will result in an inter-governmentally agreed Progress Declaration.
