On 16 March 2022, IOM hosted the Media on Migration. The purpose of the engagement was to sensitise them on IOM’s work in South Africa, to create a space to better understand migration and the role migration plays in the country’s development, to encourage evidence-based reporting on different migration issues and establish a mechanism of ongoing information sharing with the media.
