Migrants’ contribution to the COVID-19 response

Examples of reforms, new initiatives and campaigns of migrants

Yet their contributions can be hidden, their skills undervalued, and their rights denied. These examples of reforms, new initiatives, and campaigns to recognize and better support migrant essential workers in the COVID-19 response demonstrate that change is possible. Regular updates! ODI collected already more than 80 examples worldwide and presents them with an impressive visualization.
