This year's GFMD is being organized in Mexico.
In order to compile the issues and recommendations from various stakeholders throughout the country, and advocate those in the GFMD meeting, Youth Action Nepal in collaboration with Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA) Nepal members WOREC, PNCC and Pourakhi is organizing local and national consultations in the themes for GFMD. The discussions will be based on the three round table theme.
