This paper discusses the linkages between migration and the Millennium Development Goals, with specific focus on poverty alleviation, gender, health, environmental sustainability and global partnerships. It argues that, if properly engaged, migrants can be a supporting factor towards the achievement of MDG targets. Governments, development agencies and international organizations should develop strategies to enhance the positive impact of migration on the achievement of the MDGs. Where there are likely to be negative effects, the international community needs to develop migration management to help. Above all, the complex relationship between migration and the MDGs must be explored further and more research is needed.
