The Development
Research Centre on Migration, Globalisation and Poverty was
established in June 2003, in recognition of the complex relationship
between migration and poverty. The DRC 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.
The Migration DRC is a partnership between institutions in
South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Central and Eastern
Europe:
•
Refugee
and Migratory Movements Research Unit (RMMRU), University
of Dhaka, Bangladesh
• Institute
for Social, Statistical and Economic Research (ISSER)
and Regional
Institute for Population Studies (RIPS), University of
Ghana, Legon, Ghana
• Centre
for Economic and Social Studies (CESS), Tirana, Albania
• Sussex
Centre for Migration Research (SCMR) and Institute
of Development Studies (IDS), University of Sussex, Brighton,
UK
• School
of Development Studies (DEV), University of East Anglia,
Norwich, UK
None of the Migration DRC projects use the SL approach, but
we interpret livelihoods in its broader conception to encompass
the various entitlements and capabilities that poor people
(and others) have in terms of seeking a living and maintaining
well-being (definition found on migration drc site).
