@IOMSudan, @UNHCRinSudan & @Inquiry_org kicked off field team training and data collection in North, West, and Central Darfur for the #Refugee & #IDP Profiling Towards Sustainable Peace and Durable Solutions in Darfur project, supported by the @UNPeacebuilding Fund #PBF

[Social Inquiry @inquiry_org]

This Iraq profiling covered topics ranging from wellbeing and livelihoods (and links with environment) to governance, social grievances, and security––a key aim was to answer who is most affected, where, and by how much.

The link btwn #environment and #conflict is not linear. It is strongly shaped by economic insecurity and rule of law. Here's our latest qualitative research on the topic in #rural Iraq w/ @WFP_Iraq which formed the backbone for these two conflict analyses: https://t.co/PU877gamzf

It is true the conflict in Kirkuk and largely in other disputed territories is political, but my fear is that it has and continue to seep into the communities as well. This spans extensive data that we have been collecting @inquiry_org. Bottom-up and top-down look is needed.

[Social Inquiry @inquiry_org]

#COP26. The fact that 12% of the 2M residents in #Basra are #migrants from nearby districts and that more than half left due to water scarcity and death of livestock highlights the magnitude of the climate challenge and its impact also on the receiving environments. Our report👇

[IOM Iraq @IOMIraq]

A recent IOM🇮🇶+@inquiry_org study on climate-induced informal urbanization estimates that 12% of the current population of the city of Basra are migrants, having mainly come from rural areas in the past 10 years.
