The Mixed Migration Centre (MMC) Eastern and Southern Africa is attending the official launch of the MECMEA project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. MECMEA – Managing the impacts of environmental change and conflict on mobility in Eastern Africa through Evidence-Based Inclusive Policy Dialogue and Collaborative Actions – is an 18-month initiative addressing the complex links between climate change, environmental disasters, conflict, and migration in the region.
MMC will contribute by leading primary data collection on internal and cross-border mobility in Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Burundi.
The project is coordinated by the Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre and Network (HoA-REC&N-AAU) at Addis Ababa University, funded by the European Union, and contracted by the International Centre for Migration and Policy Development (ICMPD). Consortium partners include MMC (Danish Refugee Council), Association Djibouti Nature (Djibouti), South Sudan Nature Conservation Organization (SSNCO), and PanAfricare (Kenya).
