About the Advisory Board

The Advisory Board is a constitutional body of ICMPD that serves to provide advice on matters of a strategic importance. It is composed of eminent personalities with outstanding credentials in areas relevant for migration policy. It is the Advisory Board’s primary objective to support the promotion of ICMPD's mission and strategic vision. This is achieved by reflecting upon challenging issues in the field of migration policy and related areas.

As a multiple stakeholder group, the Advisory Board has three major objectives:

• to serve the Director General by reflecting the most pressing issues, long-term developments and their policy implications in the field of migration policy and related areas
• to help ICMPD in identifying innovative solutions, methods and new business opportunities, and to provide active support in the implementation of activities
• to propose projects and help to procure their funding
