Migration & Forced Displacement

Children Caring on the Move

Aims

Children Caring on the Move (CCoM) investigates separated child migrants’ experiences of care, and caring for others, as they navigate the complexities of the immigration-welfare nexus in England. We use participatory and creative research methods with separated migrant children and adult stakeholders, in combination with an analysis of the cultural political economy of separated children’s care.

Inclusive Societies: Migration for Inclusive African Growth

Aims

In recent years there has been significant growth in African economies, driven by trade in commodities, which has prompted more migrants to move to, and within, African countries. This project investigates what impact this migration is having on growth in Africa and in the migrants’ countries of origin, and how more sustainable and inclusive growth can be promoted.

Inclusive Migration Policy through Evidence Cafes

Aims

Migration policy in Africa is fragmented and policymakers are hampered by weak data and lack of knowledge, undermining the potential for migration to contribute to inclusive growth. 

This project is creating a free online course on ‘evidence café methodology’ which has been successfully used in migration research to share perspectives of diverse stakeholders and fill knowledge gaps.

The short course will be for use by government officials, organisations, researchers and civil society organisations to advance African migration research, policy and planning.
