Bangladesh today launched its National Action Plan (NAP) 2026-2030 for the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM). This five-year roadmap, approved by the Cabinet on May 21, aims to strengthen migration governance, safeguard migrant rights, and maximize migration's contribution to sustainable national development.
Comprehensive Framework for Migration
Prepared with technical support under the European Union-funded Prottasha-II Project, implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the action plan provides a comprehensive framework for translating Bangladesh's commitments under the GCM into coordinated national policies and actions. It aims to promote safe, orderly, and regular migration through stronger institutional coordination, enhanced protection mechanisms, and closer engagement with national and international stakeholders.
High-Level Launch Event
The NAP was unveiled at a high-level event in Dhaka, jointly organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment in collaboration with IOM. The event highlighted the outcomes of the International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) 2026, showcasing Bangladesh's leadership, progress, and contributions to the global migration agenda. Key officials and international representatives attended the event, emphasizing the importance of sustained collaboration among government agencies, international partners, civil society organizations, the private sector, and migrant communities.
