He will be presenting his paper &#8220;Assessing Remittances Dynamics to Kenya during the COVID-19 Period&#8221; during a panel on Diaspora and Remittances on the afternoon of 23 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference is a collaboration between the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The conference will bring-together researchers and policymakers from across the region to discuss \u201cHuman Mobility in the Context of COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IGAD region includes Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda. The region hosts 4.2 million refugees and around 8.1 million internally displaced persons (IDPs), along with other forms of migration such as labor migration and displacement as a result of slow and rapid on-set climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IGAD Members have been advocating for several examples of progressive refugee policy in recent years, such as the 2017 Djibouti Declaration on refugee education. <a href=\"https:\/\/globalcompactrefugees.org\/article\/implementing-djibouti-declaration-education-refugees-returnees-host-communities#:~:text=Almost%20all%20IGAD%20member%20states,to%20education%20and%20training%20programs.&amp;text=Most%20member%20states%20have%20provided,skills%20and%20qualifications%20of%20refugees.\">2017 Djibouti Declaration<\/a> on refugee education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LERRN wishes Dulo every success at the conference.
