GENEVA (AP) — The head of the U.N. migration agency says that it has taken in hundreds of millions in new funding and diversified its donor base. It comes when other U.N. groups have struggled to get needed money and elections worldwide are raising questions about future support. Amy Pope, a former migration adviser to U.S. President Joe Biden and who got his support for her successful campaign to lead the International Organization for Migration last year, says she is not doing the bidding of any government and is focused on addressing all the complexities of migration.
