Following the successful conduct of three trainings for the Quezon City Migration and Development Council (QCMDC) last year, CIFAL Philippines continues to collaborate with the city government to enhance the capacities of MDC members on migration management.

For the first seminar of the year, CIFAL Philippines will provide an orientation on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and identify how migration is integrated into the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The orientation will immediately be followed by a strategic planning session wherein CIFAL Philippines will guide the QCMDC in formulating its medium- and long-term migration and development plans.

The activity aims to:

  1. To enhance the QCMDC’s knowledge and skills on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
  2. To strengthen the structure and mandate of the QCMDC to be the institutional mechanism to provide over-all direction and coordination of the various migration and development-related initiatives of member agencies from the government, civil society and private sector.
  3. To foster and strengthen the QCMDC’s role and contribution in supporting and enhancing local migration and development structures (councils, OFW desks, Migration Resource Centers, etc.) and their corresponding programs and services.
  4. To present emerging concepts, policies, events, opportunities and challenges at the global, national and local level that will impact on the migration situation of the Philippines and affect Quezon City.
  5. To identify priority programs and activities for the next two years that are responsive, resilient, innovative and coherent, and find ways to efficiently and effectively implement, institutionalize and sustain the same.
  6. To present mechanisms to monitor and evaluate the output and impact of the QCMDC’s programs and activities for the purpose of reinforcing the contribution of migration to local development.

By the end of the event, participants should be able to:

  1. Explain the difference between the MDGs and the 2030 Agenda in terms of ambition, structure, scope and approach.
  2. Describe the principles of the 2030 Agenda and how they apply to the Philippines.
  3. Provide a brief explanation of each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their corresponding targets.
  4. Broadly discuss the current status of the SDGs and their corresponding targets in the Philippines.
  5. Explain the linkages between different SDG areas, especially with regard to migration issues.
  6. Explain bottlenecks to policy integration and identify possible solutions, focusing on themes related to migration.
  7. Identify key stakeholders and necessary resources to ensure means of implementation to achieve the SDGs at the local government level, particularly in Quezon City.
