Water, Migration and Rural Development: from Knowledge to Action

Aug 26, 2019
Event

The session will explore dimensions of outmigration from rural areas, focusing on environmental drivers and on impacts on rural livelihoods. The session will present evidence and knowledge gaps and discuss implications for potential interventions, highlighting issues of water insecurity and impacts on community members left behind.

Many discourses, pre-conceptions, and controversies surround the migration debate, especially focusing on international migration from lower income countries to richer countries and often simplistic perceptions about motivations and impacts.
