LERRN is thrilled to partner with Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba from the Institute of African Studies, Centre for Migration Studies at the University of Ghana, the Refugee Law Project at Makerere University in Uganda, and the University of Zululand in South Africa to co-create knowledge that can serve as the basis for new policies and programs for cooperation and exchange in border areas. This new initiative is generously funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York ($1.8 million) and supported by Carleton University.
“We aim to help bring the knowledge and expertise of Indigenous and refugee communities into direct dialogue with regional organizations and powerbrokers in border areas to encourage innovative approaches to the governance of cross-border movement,” said Milner.
