IOM Workshop – Drivers of Human Mobility across the Humanitarian, Development and Peace Nexus – Connecting Research with Policy and Programmes

28.06.2021 - This technical workshop, organised by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), aimed to advance understanding on how to strengthen links between academic research and operational approaches to better identify, understand and address drivers of human mobility across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus. Building on existing partnerships between IOM and academic institutions, the workshop facilitated the exchange of conceptual approaches to drivers of migration and displacement, available data sources and information gaps, and discussions on how the analysis and understanding of drivers can be integrated into broader, cross-cutting humanitarian and sustainable development assessments. The ultimate goal was to better inform policy and program interventions. Nassim presented key findings from Samuel Hall's February 2021 report, a collaboration with IOM and UNEP, on Identifying Climate Adaptive Solutions to Displacement in Somalia.
