The Migration Opportunity

The Migration Opportunity envisions a world where people in need can safely and legally access better lives and livelihoods across borders. Our mission is to stand up and resource an emerging field dedicated to this vision, because enabling people to move for opportunity is the most powerful and neglected tool to address global income inequality.

GDI’s role

The Migration Opportunity started as a GDI research effort, titled People on the Move, to complement our portfolio of initiatives across refugee livelihoods, anti-trafficking, and labor mobility. Now The Migration Opportunity is an in-house Design-stage initiative to mobilize resources and facilitate donor collaboration on a neglected issue area.
