Project description DEENESFRITPL Migration as a factor of rural change Increasing migration to rural areas in Europe has been a great boon for the local economy. To propose effective policies, there is a need for a combined approach of the links between labour mobility and the challenges in a changing agriculture environment. As such, the EU-funded AGRUMIG project will analyse the economic, structural, cultural and ecological factors that affect the relationship between labour mobility and the agricultural sector. It will identify the level of government interference and review national policies and EU partnership agreements. It will promote dialogue with stakeholders to detect structures that can encourage practices and acts for sustainable and gender-impartial rural development. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective AGRUMIG proposes an integrated approach to migration governance to address the two way relationship between labour mobilility and changes in agriculture and the rural sector. Migration creates challenges for rural ‘sending’ communities in low and middle income countries, yet it can also be transformative. AGRUMIG aims to engage in a comparative analysis of seven countries to analyse the economic, institutional, cultural and agro-ecological factors which shape these relationships. It will go on to identify the range of governance interventions which can harness migration to stimulate sustainable and gender equitable growth in agriculture and reduce the distress associated with migration. The project will firstly use a survey and participatory tools to explore the drivers of migration and the impacts on the agricultural/rural sector. A Qualitative Comparative Analysis will identify contexts through which unique relationships are realised. It will secondly engage with the policies and practices of diverse governance actors through dialogue, literature reviews and interviews to understand how they mediate the migration-agrarian/rural change interface. It will thirdly, engage in an iterative process of dialogue with stakeholders to identify frameworks for integrated migration governance which harness the positive impacts. A key contribution to the work programme is the identification of strategies to promote safe and regular migration through supporting change in sending regions. AGRUMIG will outline longer term evidence based governance solutions, supported by comparative analysis and tangible indicators, which are sensitive to the role of migration in larger livelihood systems as well as the contexts through which favourable impacts can be captured. It will analyse existing governance regimes to build upon, including labour treaties or EU partnership agreements, national migration or agrarian policies, overseas aid, or grassroots initiatives by diasporas or return Fields of science social sciencessociologygovernanceagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculturesocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical policiescivil society Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.6. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Europe In A Changing World - Inclusive, Innovative And Reflective Societies Main Programme H2020-EU.3.6.1.1. - The mechanisms to promote smart, sustainable and inclusive growth H2020-EU.3.6.1.2. - Trusted organisations, practices, services and policies that are necessary to build resilient, inclusive, participatory, open and creative societies in Europe, in particular taking into account migration, integration and demographic change Topic(s) MIGRATION-02-2018 - Towards forward-looking migration governance: addressing the challenges, assessing capacities and designing future strategies Call for proposal H2020-SC6-MIGRATION-2018-2019-2020 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-SC6-MIGRATION-2018 Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL AND AFRICAN STUDIES ROYAL CHARTER Net EU contribution € 573 959,50 Address Thornhaugh street russel square WC1H OXG London United Kingdom See on map Region London Inner London — West Camden and City of London Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (13) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM United Kingdom Net EU contribution € 499 357,50 Address Edgbaston B15 2TT Birmingham See on map Region West Midlands (England) West Midlands Birmingham Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 INTERNATIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE IWMI Sri Lanka Net EU contribution € 493 508,75 Address 127 sunil mawatha 10120 Colombo See on map Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 UNIVERSITAT WIEN Austria Net EU contribution € 431 610,25 Address Universitatsring 1 1010 Wien See on map Region Ostösterreich Wien Wien Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL ASIA Tajikistan Net EU contribution € 227 488,00 Address 155 qimatsho imatshoev street 736000 Khorog See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 INSTITUTUL NATIONAL DE CERCETARI ECONOMICE AL ACADEMIEI DE STINTE A MOLDOVEI Moldova Net EU contribution € 41 462,50 Address Strada ion creanga 45 2064 Chisinau See on map Activity type Other Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 ALMA MATER STUDIORUM - UNIVERSITA DI BOLOGNA Italy Net EU contribution € 222 127,50 Address Via zamboni 33 40126 Bologna See on map Region Nord-Est Emilia-Romagna Bologna Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 UNIVERSITE MOHAMMED V DE RABAT Morocco Net EU contribution € 116 575,00 Address Avenue des nations unies agdal 10080 Rabat See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
