Interestingly, displacing decisions follows a similar logic. While the most immediate reason for flight from a shock (conflict or adverse climate situation), the decision of destination is informed by presence of opportunities.

[Migration Matters @MigrMatters]

Decisions to migrate are rarely made because of a single factor. Most often, people move in search of:
🌾 Better jobs or income opportunities
🎓 Education
🏠 Family ties

But here’s the thing: these economic and social factors are often deeply tied to the environment... 🧵⬇️

Refugee-led organizations (RLOs) play a crucial role in the refugee response, providing essential services and leading accountable, transparent, and impactful initiatives. However, they often struggle to secure adequate funding. #RefugeeResponse #FundingGap (1/3)

[Freddie Carver @freddiecarver]

So happy to be with a group of exceptional scholars, including a refugee researcher, from six countries in the region discussing research priorities and potential for a stronger regional network-excited to see where the initiative goes @ReDSS_HoA @KwekaOpportuna @IDRC_ESARO
