A Development Approach to Migration and Displacement

Title of the Article

1. Difficult Concepts (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)

i. Levels of migration
ii. Protracted conflicts and violent extremism
iii. Internally displaced people

2. Insights (What new insights or learning did you gain in discussion/ activity?)

i. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that

people migrate for their own good and do not have negative effects to
their country.

However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now

think/realize that migration and displacement have negative
effects/impacts, affecting poverty reduction, economic growth, human
and social welfare, and environmental sustainability. Its positive impacts are
to develop skills and coping mechanisms in situ and support economic
growth. Also, it promotes promote access to land, property, housing and
sustainable livelihoods combined with effective services delivery, and
accountable and responsive governance are essential to help the
displaced and communities of origin, transit and/or destination.

ii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I didn’t think

that migration and displacement of people is not an important topic to
discuss.

However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now

think/realize that migration and displacement are important and rapidly
growing phenomena. There are people who voluntarily choose to migrate
to other countries and some of the people are forcedly to move to other
countries and they are called as refugees. Other people are forced to
migrate away to their home but inside their country. The people who are
forcefully displaced by their government and this indulge to the conflict
with their nationality and who will support them living outside their home
country.

iii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that

there are still no policies regarding migration since it is happening in some
countries nowadays.

However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now

think/realize that there are policies regarding migration proposed by UNDP.
UNDP provides outline on how to address the barriers through the three
Areas of Work. The three Areas of Work includes developing comprehensive
 national policy and institutional frameworks for migration, managing
migration for long-term positive development impacts at the sub-national
and local level, and Resilience based development solutions for migration
and displacement in times of crisis, conflict and disaster. These three Areas
of Work are designed to address barriers to effective country action in
managing migration and displacement. They are related to factors that
influence how effective societies are in managing migration and
displacement for long-term sustainable development benefits, and in short-
term crisis situations.
