Research reports, policy documents, and data publications on Caribbean migration
The CMC Repository is a curated collection of research reports, policy documents, legal reviews, situation reports, and data publications related to migration in the Caribbean region. Documents are contributed by partner organizations including IOM, UNHCR, ILO, government agencies, academic institutions, and civil society organizations. The repository covers all major dimensions of Caribbean migration — from labour mobility and diaspora engagement to forced displacement, climate migration, and human trafficking.
These resources support evidence-based policymaking, academic research, civil society advocacy, and public understanding of migration across the Caribbean region. New publications are added as they become available.
