Regional Conference on Migration for Development and Equality underway
Accra, March 15, GNA-A two-day regional conference on Migration for Development is underway to create a platform for project partners, policymakers, and civil society groups and practices in Africa to develop a work plan to inform policy formulation.
It is being organised by the Centre for Migration Studies (CMS), University of Ghana (UG) on the South-South Migration, Inequality and Development Hub (MIDEQ) project. The MIDEQ project is being funded by UKRI/ GCRF to provide an avenue for the intensification of lesson drawing, knowledge sharing, and purposive interactions among researchers, public officials, and migrants on how to harness the benefits of south-south migration for socioeconomic development.
MIDEQ project works with a global network of partners in twelve countries in the Global South, organised into six migration corridors to enhance the understanding of the relationship between migration, development and inequality.
The CMS is an implementing agency and is working on the China-Ghana corridors.
