Rethinking Migration: Challenge or Opportunity?

Jul 29, 2021 | by

Join SCALE for an armchair chat, as practitioners and researchers question assumptions about economic migration and its role in programming.

About this event

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and climate crisis have shown us that now more than ever, a new understanding and approach to migration is necessary. News stories of migrants stranded after COVID lockdowns and the growing recognition of a link between climate change and increased migration are pushing us to re-evaluate immigration and migration management strategies.

A few partners of USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance have turned the issue on its head, starting with the premise that migration is not a problem to be solved but rather a solution that people seek to improve their income security both on and off-farm.

Is this time of crisis in fact a moment of reckoning? An opportunity for development actors and governments to deeply question their assumptions about migration and development and explore a more coherent way forward? We'll discuss examples from Guatemala, Nepal, Niger, and Zimbabwe.

About SCALE

SCALE is an initiative funded by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) to enhance the impact, sustainability, and scalability of BHA-funded agriculture, natural resource management, and livelihoods activities in emergency and non-emergency contexts. SCALE is implemented by Mercy Corps in collaboration with Save the Children. Learn more about SCALE at www.fsnnetwork.org/scale

Rejoignez SCALE pour une discussion informelle, alors que les praticiens et les chercheurs remettent en question les hypothèses sur la migration économique et son rôle dans le développement.

La pandémie actuelle du COVID-19 et la crise climatique nous ont montré que, maintenant plus que jamais, une nouvelle compréhension et une nouvelle approche de la migration sont nécessaires. Les reportages sur les migrants bloqués après les restrictions de déplacements dus au COVID-19 et la reconnaissance croissante d'un lien entre le changement climatique et l'augmentation des migrations nous poussent à réévaluer les stratégies d'immigration et de gestion des migrations.

Quelques partenaires du Bureau d'aide humanitaire de l'USAID ont inversé le problème, en partant du principe que la migration n'est pas un défi à résoudre mais plutôt une solution que les gens recherchent pour améliorer la sécurité de leurs revenus, centrés ou non sur l'exploitation agricole.

Cette période de crise est-elle en fait un moment de réflexion? Une opportunité pour les acteurs du développement et les gouvernements de remettre profondément en question leurs hypothèses sur la migration et le développement et d'explorer une voie plus cohérente? Nous discuterons des exemples du Guatemala, du Népal, du Niger et du Zimbabwe.
