The Normalizing Migration opportunity focuses on building new pathways for legal migration to help the world’s most vulnerable people relocate to safety and prosperity.

We also pilot innovations in technology and policy that drive power to the local level​, creating policies and systems that empower local actors to support and sponsor migrants in growing numbers, generating proof that more functional migration systems are popular and possible.​
