In order to accelerate the implementation of SDGs at the national level, some 11 Mainstreaming, Acceleration and Policy Support (MAPS) missions were conducted in 2016 and an additional 40 missions are planned for 2017.

The outcomes of these missions have been roadmaps for government to nationalise and localise the SDGs. These roadmaps include: convergence through rapid integrated assessments (RIA), institutional arrangements to promote coherence and coordination, advocacy, financing, data collection and reporting, and acceleration opportunities for greater impact. Stakeholders recognise the importance of looking at migration during these processes.
