The Migration DRC is a partnership between institutions in South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Central and Eastern Europe. It aims to promote new policy approaches that will help to maximize the potential benefits of migration for poor people, whilst minimizing its risks and costs. It examines migration flows in which poor people themselves are most represented and how migration impacts variously on their livelihoods, rights and levels of social protection. This knowledge is also shared directly with poor migrants.
The DRC’s research falls under three main themes:
- Impacts of migration of poverty and livelihoods
- Changing dynamics of migration
- New initiatives on international migration
The site offers publications, links to relevant resources, and information on DRC news and events.
