In the past decade we have seen an increase in movement of people be it migrants – regular and irregular, refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs).  These trends can have an impact on security. At the same time with the current mix of threats such as environmental degradation, health insecurity or conflict, each category of populations on the move are impacted. Policymakers, civil society and local communities must improve their capacity to anticipate and respond to security implications of migration, refugee and IDPs flows.

Learning objectives

• Deepened knowledge and  understanding of the nexus between movement of people and security;
• Enhanced capacity to identify the best policies and approaches to address challenges caused by the nexus;
• Expanded network of professionals working in security and migration, refugees and IDPs sectors.
