Discussions and information-sharing will take place at two ‘Knowledge Fairs’ in Brussels and online through the new ‘Migration and Development Knowledge Portal’, where a ‘Community of Practice’ will meet to discuss issues falling under the four thematic areas of the Joint Initiative (Remittances, Migrant Communities, Migrant Capacities and Migrants’ Rights)
