The growing migration and mobility of young, able bodied men and women are having profound effects on land and social relations in Nepal. And yet, much of the policy and public discussion is concerned with the contribution of migration to economic growth, on the one hand, and/or on safeguarding the rights of migrant workers in Nepal and destination countries, on the other. This public event will feature a wide range of ongoing research being carried out by national and international research centers on migration, land and social change in an effort to broaden the debate on governing migration for inclusive development in the country.
The event is being organized by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE), CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA), Forest Action, International Water Management Institute (IWMI), the Migration, Agriculture and Resilience: Initiative for Sustainability (MARIS) Network and Social Science Baha. The event will be in both Nepali and English. Coffee, tea and refreshments will be served.
The event will feature short talks based on research on migration and land use change by the following speakers:
Jeevan Baniya (CESLAM/Social Science Baha)
Vishwas Sudhir Chitale (ICIMOD)
