Description: The United Nations integrated SDGs Financing project for Egypt (INFF) aims to develop capacities and put in place simple systems to continuously measure, map and compare financing flows. An important element of this project is identifying financing opportunities, through the better availability and quality of data, in particular data on Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs). IFFs threaten countries’ ability to achieve the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by diverting resources from development. The meeting of Expert group on IFFs aims to: * Present and review the work in each of the workstreams on measurement of IFFs in Egypt: trade misinvoicing, profit shifting, and smuggling of drugs; * Discuss and plan further work on the methodologies to address IFFs in Egypt; and * Discuss further involvement and coverage of other aspects of IFFs by other members of Expert group on IFFs in Egypt. Targeted participants of the meeting are members of national Expert Group for statistical measurement of IFFs in Egypt.

Description: The International Forum on Migration Statistics (IFMS) is a unique, global platform devoted to improving data on migration in all its dimensions. Organised by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), the IFMS offers space for dialogue for a broad range of actors, from national and regional authorities, NGOs, international agencies and the private sector. More information about the event is available at: https://gmdac.iom.int/iom-oecd-undesa-organise-second-international-forum-migration-statistics. The IFMS 2020 will explore innovative ways to measure population mobility and to generate timely statistics, by bringing together a broad range of participants to share and to discuss new data initiatives and examples of success in the field of migration data. The Forum will also provide a unique opportunity for policy-makers to have direct contact with migration data experts and to use their expertise to feed policy evaluations and to identify best policy options. The focus on data capacity building comes from the recognition that implementing the commitments of international processes comes with significant challenges for National Statistical Offices, which often have limited capacities to collect, analyse and manage data relevant to migration.
