The study is aimed at assessing the individual, community and structural factors impacting displacement patterns, along with factors enhancing or hindering the prospects of sustainable return and reintegration within and to South Sudan. It is based on fieldwork conducted in South Sudan, and in countries hosting South Sudanese refugees, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda.
The REF team lead will also provide reflections from the Research and Evidence Facility’s seven years of work on migration and displacement in the Horn of Africa.
