Regional migration management: Investigating the possibilities and limitations (360G-Wellcome-213251_Z_18_Z)

In this project, I want to understand whether the ways in which responses to migration and health are limited at a regional level in Southern Africa resonates in the Asia and the Pacific context. Using an analysis of existing literature and original research with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), this research will do three things: Suggest ways in which the newly established Migration Health and Development Research Initiative (MHADRI) network, as part of the Migration Health Research Portal committed to the development of early career researchers, could strengthen and respond to gaps in the existing literature around the roles that are and can be played by supranational, specifically regional, organisations in around issues of migration and health; Start to develop an understanding of intraregional migration management in Asia and the Pacific, in relation to that of intraregional migration management in Southern Africa; and Reflect on lessons learnt by the IOM, as a non-state organisation, in working with regional structures and actors, to better inform understandings of the working relationships between state and non-state actors across contexts.
