Migration is a global, cross-regional and transnational concept. In order to ensure the best possible results in its work, ICMPD’s structure is decentralised and based on the principle of worldwide mobility. Hierarchies are flat and decisions are implemented timely.
ICMPD's organisational structure
ICMPD’s Headquarters is located in Vienna. Alongside the Mission in Brussels, it has a leading role in steering the organisation. There are 31 field-and project offices under the coordination of Regional Offices across ICMPD’s priority regions.
ICMPD has 21 Member States which form a Steering Group that exercises general supervision of ICMPD, approve strategic decisions and appoint the Director General for a period of 5 years. Decisions are taken based on the majority principle. The Steering Group is chaired by a different member state each year (rotation principle).
