The Migration Strategy 2016-2020 is the third strategic document for Georgia defining migration policy. The strategy reflects an increasing drive, in cooperation with the EU member and other states, to increase the basis for legal migration, and prevent illegal migration, and transnational and trans-boundary organised crime. A special emphasis is given to the development of mechanisms facilitating return and reintegration of Georgian citizens, protection of the rights and integration of persons with refugee or humanitarian status, and asylum seekers in Georgia. In order to effectively address contemporary challenges and fulfil international obligations, effective measures are being taken to improve the existing system of fighting illegal migration. A Unified Migration Analytical System is being developed in order to facilitate informed decision-making in migration management and the policy planning process. The present Strategy builds on the progress made in the recent years, takes into account the existing challenges, and develops mechanisms for addressing them. 

All eight goals of the Strategy cover practically all aspects of SDG 10.7. Additionally, Georgia's work with(in) the GFMD (during 2012-2015) greatly influenced the elaboration of the national Migration Strategy for 2016-2020, which is based on the principle of the nexus between Migration and Development.
