My hope as IOM DG- Amy Pope
Incoming Director General of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) Ms Amy Pope has said that her hope as DG is that IOM will play a role in enabling migration as a choice and building solutions and programs that will provide stability and opportunities.
In a post on her verified Twitter handle, she said:
“Today I spoke with @NPRinskeep about my election as DG of @UNMigration, the growing complexities of global migration and how the Intl Org for Migration is best suited to shift the narrative of migration.
“In our conversation, I highlighted migration’s benefits in countries like the U.S. and others. Migration has played a prominent role in revitalizing the places where I’ve lived. We have seen that, through migration, dying communities are given a new chance at prosperity.
“As migration challenges increase globally, my hope as DG is that IOM will play a role in enabling migration as a choice and building solutions and programs that will provide stability and opportunities.”
