The dashboard of indicators for measuring policy and institutional coherence for migration and development (PICMD) is a user-friendly tool that has been developed by the KNOMAD Thematic Working Group on Policy and Institutional Coherence. The dashboard aims to measure the extent to which public policies and institutional arrangements are coherent with international best practices to minimise the risks and maximise the development gains of migration, and can be used by domestic policy makers and other stakeholders such as researchers, civil society and international organisations. For policy makers, the dashboard should serve as a particularly useful tool during the policy formulation, evaluation and adjustment process.

There are 5 dimensions to the OECD dashboard of indicators – 

1. Promoting institutional coherence; 
2. Reducing the cost of migration, 
3. Protecting the rights of migrants and their families; 
4. Promoting integration and reintegration and 
5. Enhancing development impact of migration.
