IOM: Health and Reintegration - Returning to Space but not to Time: A Life Course Approach to Migrants’ Health, Continuity of Care and Impact on Reintegration Outcomes

January 2023

Samuel Hall in partnership with  EU- IOM Knowledge Management Hub and the African Centre for Migration and Society at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa funded by the European Union conducted a study to explore the links between health needs, access to care and sustainable reintegration of returnees. The study followed a mixed methods approach, conducted between March and July 2022, in six selected countries (Brazil, Ethiopia, the Gambia, Georgia, Pakistan and Senegal). 

There is an urgent need to build a continuum of care across different stages of the migration cycle while also funding gender specific initiatives on return and reintegration. The full report provides an analysis of the health needs of returnees and its impact on reintegration outcomes and further recommendations based on the mixed methods study.

Development Pathways: Targeting Evaluation of the Somalia Shock-Responsive Safety Net for Human Capital Project (SNHCP)
Development Pathways: Targeting Evaluation of the Somalia Shock-Responsive Safety Net for Human Capital Project (SNHCP)

January 2023

Samuel Hall, in partnership with Development Pathways, conducted a targeting evaluation of the Shock-responsive Safety Net for Human Capital Project (SNHCP) for the World Bank and the Somali Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA). The team assessed one major component of the SNHCP, which is to provide nutrition-linked unconditional cash transfers to vulnerable households in all states in Somalia and Somaliland.

The findings confirm that despite being implemented in an extremely challenging environment, the SNHCP cash transfer programme has successfully reached many vulnerable and poor households. Moving forward, by learning from the targeting errors identified, this programme provides important learning points for similar cash transfer programmes in the future.
