It was great to be able to present our work on migration policy, borderlands, urbanisation, climate change, livelihoods and conflict (and more!) at #GFMD14 Here @kalyango_sebba is sharing research from Uganda
We are so excited to have 2 of our key researchers, Fekadu Adugna Tufa and @kalyango_sebba with us this week, talking about their work on borderlands and urbanisation.
Check out our new website! Focused looks at our work on Conflict, Climate and Livelihoods (and their links to migration/displacement), and easier to navigate our publications! https://t.co/Gdv933H96L

🧵 Since 2016, we've been researching mobility, migration and displacement in the Horn of Africa.
But what are our key findings on livelihoods and mobility in the Horn of Africa?
For policymakers + practitioners, we recommend:
✅ An approach that views mobility as adaptation to a problem, instead of a problem itself
✅ Policy and programming that considers cyclical processes of displacement, mobility and return
✅ Develop policy and programming that considers cyclical processes of displacement, mobility and return

🧵 The REF project has spent the last seven years exploring mobility, migration and displacement in the Horn of Africa.
But what are our key findings on conflict and mobility in the Horn of Africa? ⬇️
For policymakers + practitioners, we recommend:
✅ Ensure that the conditions exist for voluntary, safe, dignified, informed return and sustainable re-integration.
✅ Support a pace of returns that returnees – and the communities they might return to – can both support.
Explore the latest climate and mobility research findings from @REFHorn spanning the last seven years in the Horn of Africa. Check out the comprehensive insights available on REFHorn's newly redeveloped website hosted by @SOAS: https://t.co/9quWAam0Gn
