Announcing the Civil Society Delegation to the 15th Global Forum on Migration and Development - GFMD from 2–4 September in Riohacha, La Guajira, in beautiful Colombia! 🇨🇴

Drawn from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America & the Caribbean, MENA, North America and the Pacific, the delegation brings together migrants and refugees, grassroots collectives, trade unions, faith-based organisations, Indigenous Peoples, human rights defenders, women’s rights groups, diaspora networks, researchers and academics. They combine lived experience with policy expertise to help shape people-centred, rights-based outcomes.

Civil society’s voice and presence at this Summit are indispensable. The GFMD provides a unique platform to confront these challenges head-on, ensuring that the lived realities, rights and dignity of migrants and displaced communities remain at the centre of all discussions.

🎯The delegation’s collective mission is clear: to advocate for humane migration policies, demand accountability for human rights violations, and safeguard the space for civil society to thrive and act without fear.

Join us in welcoming this amazing delegation!

Bonus: Stay tuned for more information about our preparation in the lead-up to the Summit!

As we navigate rising restrictions on migrant rights and increasing pressures on long-standing migration commitments, this conversation will focus on the shifting relationship between migration and development and the consequences of its politicisation.

This is a space for civil society, grassroots actors, and advocates to take stock and continue strategising in the lead-up to the 2026 International Migration Review Forum.

Our AC Coordinator Elana Wong is one of the panellists, and we look forward to her insights!

See you later!

DEBT, JUSTICE, AND THE SDGS: OUR DELEGATION’S IMPACT AT THE 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT (FFD4), SEVILLE- SPAIN

The Democratic Network for Action (DNA), welcome the adoption of the Seville Commitment and the bold launch of the Platform for Action at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development. The renewed focus on debt justice, sustainable investment, and fairer global financial governance marks an important step toward closing the persistent SDG financing gap and addressing inequalities.

As an organization committed to social justice and inclusive development, the DNA particularly notes the calls for greater tax equity, climate-responsive finance, and the creation of mechanisms to protect vulnerable countries during crises. However, we also echo civil society’s concern over the limited space for NGO voices in shaping these outcomes.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our dedicated delegation, led by the Executive Director, Mr. Samuel Kodjo Wormenor, who represented us in Seville with integrity and commitment. Your efforts in policy dialogue, advocacy, and building coalition contributed meaningfully to the broader civil society presence and the push for a more inclusive financing framework.

Together, we remain committed to ensuring these global commitments translate into transformative action on the ground.
