This is such an amazing idea to start cleaning up our rivers!! I wonder if plans are in place to create one on a larger scale to tackle our oceans? #WasteManagement #SaveOurPlanet

@AmberMohammed3 @JamesOGrady14 a lot of global south countries are featured in the BTI reports including #Chile and #Colombia so it could be worth having a look at the reports for your countries #policy #governance #MScGSCGlasgow

[Amber Mohammed @AmberMohammed3]

On the whole, it appears as though Colombia is successfully positioning itself for global investment in its three main cities #Medellin #Bogota #Cali #MScGSCGlasgow https://t.co/tHfsfonvK9

[Amber Mohammed @AmberMohammed3]

Similar situations are arising in #Medellin with the the rise in immigration to the city - attempts to curb the growth of urban slums cannot be stopped until these populations are fully integrated into society #MScGSCGlasgow

Rural to urban migration brings many benefits to migrants, their families and 'host' city, but urban migrants are often neglected in government policies.
