UNHCR: Climate Impacts return and displacement in Afghanistan
UNHCR: Climate Impacts return and displacement in Afghanistan

August 2025

Afghanistan is among the countries most exposed to the impacts of climate change, where extreme weather and disasters are now surpassing conflict as the main drivers of displacement. This research brief, produced by Samuel Hall for UNHCR Afghanistan, explores how climate shocks shape the lives of Afghan returnees from Iran and Pakistan, often leading to secondary displacement and heightened vulnerability.

Drawing on lived experiences, the report highlights how water scarcity, fragile housing, and exclusion from community support systems deepen risks—particularly for women and children. It calls for climate-informed durable solutions, investments in adaptation, and inclusive planning to ensure return and reintegration efforts can withstand the realities of a changing climate.

NRC Jordan: Developing a Measurement and Learning Framework for Durable Solutions among Refugees Living in Jordan
NRC Jordan: Developing a Measurement and Learning Framework for Durable Solutions among Refugees Living in Jordan

August 2025

NRC’s Global Strategy for 2022–2025 has prioritised self-reliance and durable solutions for the people NRC works with as one of its global strategic objectives. The NRC Jordan country office, in line with this objective, has made durable solutions for refugees the foundation of its country strategy.

In advancing this agenda, NRC Jordan recognised the need for a measurement and learning framework to assess progress towards self-reliance and durable solutions, as understood and defined by refugees in Jordan. Developed through a participatory and incremental approach, this framework provides a visual model which is pathway-neutral. The model has been accompanied with a toolkit (comprising of an indicator library with 117 indicators, as well as tools and guides for measurement) to measure and monitor progress towards and identify barriers to durable solutions for refugees in Jordan.

VNG: WORKING WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN MIGRATION CONTEXTS - A call for a localisation agenda in urban migration
VNG: WORKING WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN MIGRATION CONTEXTS - A call for a localisation agenda in urban migration

August 2025

Migration management cannot happen without local governments (LGs), given their proximity to migrants and their mandate to provide service delivery and safe environments to their constituents. LGs understand local socio-spatial dynamics and are best placed to identify needs and solutions, implement policies and coordinate service delivery. Yet, they are not fully integrated into international organisations’ development and migration responses.

So what would it take to bring LGs to the centre of this agenda?

This position paper is built on a research project that sheds light on the role of local governments in migration contexts, to inform local and international stakeholders of the migration, humanitarian and development sectors.

The research was conducted in Iraq, Kenya, Lebanon and Uganda as well as at global level. The research team reviewed 54 documents written by academics and practitioners, and collected primary data in the form of 35 key informant interviews (KIIs), one focus group discussion (FGD) gathering 15 participants, 4 country-level validation workshops with VNG International’s teams, a stakeholder workshop gathering 17 participants from civil society, academia and the humanitarian sector, and an online survey with 25 responses, providing anecdotal evidence referenced in the research. Together, these tools took stock of existing forms of engagement between LGs and other stakeholders to identify gaps and good practices.

ADSP: Durable Solutions Analysis in Herat
ADSP: Durable Solutions Analysis in Herat

July 2025

The Asia Displacement Solutions Platform (ADSP) is a joint initiative of the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) which works to contribute to the development of comprehensive solutions for displaced populations in Asia. Established in 2018, ADSP focuses on research initiatives to build an evidence base for its members and other humanitarian actors to facilitate joint advocacy and common understanding around durable solutions.

Since 2022, Samuel Hall, a research organisation founded and based in Kabul, has been working with ADSP to build on existing data to create a space for research and advocacy on durable solutions. In August 2024, Samuel Hall and ADSP published the brief Durable Solutions Analysis in Jalalabad/Nangarhar which mapped and analysed durable solutions in Jalalabad.

Developed between February and June 2025, this research brief follows the same methodology used in the Jalalabad brief, while focusing on the specific context of Herat in urban and peri-urban areas, which is home to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees, especially from Iran. Understanding city-level data provides ways forward to fill in data gaps in support of durable solutions programming.

The aim of this research brief is to go beyond data mapping on durable solutions to incorporate data sources from ADSP members, Samuel Hall, UNHCR, UN Women, REACH, and UN-Habitat data, within a durable solutions analysis framework developed by the Regional Durable Solutions Secretariat (ReDSS) in the East and Horn of Africa.

UNHCR: COMMUNITY-BASED ASSESSMENT OF REINTEGRATION AND ABSORPTION CAPACITY OF SOUTH SUDAN
UNHCR: COMMUNITY-BASED ASSESSMENT OF REINTEGRATION AND ABSORPTION CAPACITY OF SOUTH SUDAN

May 2025

This community-based assessment examines the integration status of displaced and returned households living in South Sudan, and evaluates the area’s capacity to welcome additional returnees. It is one of four regional briefs in this series, of which the objectives are to evaluate the current degree of integration of displaced persons in the area, assess infrastructure and service quality and capacity to accommodate more people, and inform area-based planning by government actors, UNHCR and partners

The assessment employed a mixed-methods approach:

1. Household surveys

2. Infrastructure assessments

3. Focus groups, case studies & key informant interviews

Analytical approaches employed include the Reintegration Sustainability Survey (RSS), which quantifies integration levels in different dimensions via composite scoring. Infrastructure was evaluated against defined minimum standards to confirm basic functionality and quality benchmarks, while absorption capacity calculations assessed the extent to which existing services could accommodate additional demand.

The project focused on the following regions in South Sudan:

  1. YEI & MOBORO

  2. RAJA

  3. NORTHERN BAHR EL GHAZAL

  4. MAGWI AND TORIT

UNDP: Leading the Way: Women Navigating Climate Change, Mobility, and Resilience in Africa.
UNDP: Leading the Way: Women Navigating Climate Change, Mobility, and Resilience in Africa.

April 2025

Climate change is not just an environmental crisis; it is a social crisis, deeply tied to gender and mobility. As droughts, floods, and desertification intensify, women and girls face disproportionate risks, often leading to displacement.

The new research report, Shifting Gender Roles, Building Resilience, produced by UNDP and Samuel Hall, moves beyond broad assumptions to amplify the real experiences of women in Kenya, Nigeria, and Somalia. It explores how gender norms shape women’s ability to adapt, how economic barriers hold them back, and how policies continue to exclude them from decisions that shape their futures.

Through field research and community consultations conducted in 2024, the report highlights how climate change is reshaping gender roles, deepening vulnerabilities, and—most importantly—creating new opportunities for resilience. The study highlights how women are not just enduring the crisis; but are also responding with solutions that demand recognition, funding, and inclusion in climate action.

The research concludes with suggested recommendations and action points, paving the way for further investigation.

FAIR: Returnee Voices Matter: Towards More Inclusive Return Policies
FAIR: Returnee Voices Matter: Towards More Inclusive Return Policies

April 2025

Policies are often not adapted to the needs of returnees, resulting in extreme exclusion, stigma and poverty as well as inefficiencies in terms of migration management. Not only are they not inclusive nor adapted, but policies often silence returnees, as shown in our research. Yet, if policies and practices are not improved to address these gaps, people will be pushed to migrate again as a coping mechanism, even when they are willing to reintegrate. Furthermore, the act of not being heard in return policies reduces the attractiveness of voluntary return.

The research conducted in Georgia, Iraq, Nigeria and Türkiye highlights three core arguments:

▪ Different types of narratives impact on the legitimacy of migration and return policies, which are typically disconnected from returnees’ experiences.

▪ The disconnect demonstrates the frequent silencing of returnees which further nurtures their invisibilisation and dehumanisation in dominant discourses.

▪ Alternative discourses can contribute to more inclusive and effective return policies.

The research findings underscore that it is possible to do things differently: Discourses that emerge from countries of origin, which are not centred around European perspectives and agendas, and which are shared by returnees themselves can be the foundation for more inclusive and effective return policies.

HABITABLE: Habitability and Adaptation to a Changing Climate: Impacts of climate change on agriculture and human mobility in the Northern and Volta Regions, Ghana
HABITABLE: Habitability and Adaptation to a Changing Climate: Impacts of climate change on agriculture and human mobility in the Northern and Volta Regions, Ghana

March 2025

This background brief examines the impacts of climate change on livelihoods and mobility patterns in two communities within the Northern and Volta Regions, Ghana: Lingbung and Vome. Beginning with an analysis of Ghana’s main rural-urban migration patterns, we synthesise findings from qualitative interviews conducted within these agrarian communities. Emphasis is placed on migration as one of the adaptive strategies adopted locally.

This brief then examines Ghana's policies and legal frameworks acknowledging different dimensions of human mobility related to climate change. It evaluates the extent to which these frameworks offer solutions to the problems experienced by the communities studied, which, in turn, intensify migration patterns. The brief proposes measures to address climate-induced migration in Ghana, with recommendations focusing on the gaps in current normative instruments while enhancing community resilience.

HABITABLE: Habitability and Adaptation to a Changing Climate: Impacts of climate change on agriculture and human mobility in the Kayes and Sikasso Regions, Mali

February 2025

This background brief investigates climatic impacts on livelihoods and human mobility patterns in Mali, particularly focusing on two communities in the Kayes Region (Fatao and Gory) and two communities in the Sikasso Region (Dogo and Kignan). After an analysis of the climatic and socio-economic challenges faced in Mali, it presents preliminary findings on migration as one of the locally adopted adaptation strategies, based on qualitative interviews conducted in these agricultural communities. The challenges encountered by these communities share common themes.

This background brief, therefore, explores Mali’s policies and legal frameworks that recognise distinct dimensions of human mobility in the context of climate change. It assesses the extent to which these instruments provide solutions to the issues affecting these communities, which, in turn, exacerbate migration patterns. The brief concludes with a summary of potential measures available to address climate-induced migration in the country, concentrating on the gaps in normative instruments while bolstering community resilience.

UNICEF: Endline Evaluation of the Adolescents and Youth Life Skills Programme (Maharati)
UNICEF: Endline Evaluation of the Adolescents and Youth Life Skills Programme (Maharati)

January 2025

Jordan has one of the world's youngest populations, but youth unemployment remains a major challenge, hitting 46.1% in 2022. Limited access to education, training, and jobs hampers young people's transition to higher education and the workforce. Refugees and women face even greater hurdles, with half of Syrian youth refugees unable to access secondary education.

To address these challenges, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Jordan Country Office (JCO), in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth (MoY), with their implementing partner Generations for Peace (GFP) implemented a life skills programme, the Maharati programme, from 2018-2022. This endline evaluation, commissioned by UNICEF JCO and conducted by Samuel Hall, had two main objectives:

  • From an accountability perspective – to measure the extent to which the planned results were achieved and the overall goal and objectives met.

  • From a learning perspective – to determine why planned and intended results were attained or not, to draw lessons and propose good practices and recommendations for learning, scale-up and replication.

The evaluation focuses on the Maharati programme’s activities from January 2018 to June 2022, implemented by the MoY in its youth centres across all governorates in Jordan. The findings, conclusions, lessons learned and recommendations aim to inform decision-making and programme improvement for UNICEF and MoY.

LMI: Pulling Together: Civil Society Organizations and Refugee Advocacy in Kenya
LMI: Pulling Together: Civil Society Organizations and Refugee Advocacy in Kenya

January 2025

Refugees in Kenya struggle to access basic services, freedoms and protections. Civil society organizations seeking to support refugees need to be persistent and willing to collaborate with a range of stakeholders—often through unconventional approaches. This case study explores how two Nairobi-based organisations, Kituo Cha Sheria and RefugePoint, played a pivotal role in safeguarding the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. Through their leadership in advocacy and innovative approaches, the two organisations’ prevented refugee evictions and secured refugees' access to essential health services. With resilience, creativity, and strategic thinking, they successfully navigated a complex political landscape fraught with public attitudes at odds with refugee rights.

The case study also offers insights into the broader role of civil society in strengthening refugee protections in Kenya. Recent developments, such as the Refugee Act of 2021 and the Shirika plan, provide an opportunity to enhance the legal framework for refugee protection in Kenya. Civil society leadership and activism play an important part in strengthening legal protection and ensuring access to essential services for refugees.

RefugePoint used its network of neighbourhood clinics and local government officials to increase refugee enrollment and address gaps in healthcare. By approaching Kenyan health authorities and arguing for closer cooperation they successfully advocated for the inclusion of refugees into the system. NGOs also stepped in when Kenyan authorities attempted to close the Dadaab camps and expel Somali refugees. A coalition of NGOs led by Kituo Cha Sheria (KITUO) and RefugePoint successfully petitioned the government to halt the measure. Strategic partnerships, such as relationships with UN agencies and other NGOs, knowledge of official channels, and persistence against bureaucratic and political obstacles, underpinned by a desire for results rather than recognition, were essential to their success.

Samuel Hall: Position Paper - City Making in a Mobile World: Urban Mobility & Governance
Samuel Hall: Position Paper - City Making in a Mobile World: Urban Mobility & Governance

December 2024

Migration governance requires an increased focus on the urban at a time when “cities represent the future of global living”. 70% of the +100 million displaced people worldwide live in urban environments.

Among the three levels of migration governance - the global, the national, and the local - local actors and knowledge are thus increasingly gaining importance, in light of the withdrawal of national actors from addressing migration governance challenges, which underscores prevalent national protectionist patterns and translates to a neglect of migration issues and mandates by governments. The Global Compacts for Refugees and for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, adopted in 2018, underline the centrality of the local level while encouraging whole-of-society approaches involving a range of local stakeholders in addressing mobility issues - which requires a better inclusion and participation of migrants, combined with access to basic services and urban development initiatives, to improve social cohesion.

This position paper, based on 14 years of experience conducting research on migration in urban areas in 75+ countries, on a review of academic and grey literature, and on interviews with global experts, contributes to this goal. It explores how the three approaches proposed above can help respond to the challenges of urban migration, and presents examples of their application through case studies from our research before outlining our agenda for urban migration research that supports local actors.

DRC: Localisation of Protection Programming in Garissa & Turkana, Kenya
DRC: Localisation of Protection Programming in Garissa & Turkana, Kenya

October 2024

Within the context of commitments to durable solutions, since the World Humanitarian Summit 2016 and the Grand Bargain, there have been increased calls for those who are closest to crises to have more control of resources, increased agency and greater decision-making powers. The process of “localisation” aims to create more equitable, power sharing and decision-making systems that support those in need of protection.

The protection of refugees in Kenya is a critical issue, Kenya is host to two of the largest refugee camps in the world – in Garissa and Turkana counties, known as Kenya’s marginalised counties in the arid and semiarid land regions. Localisation holds the potential to foster sustainability by enabling an environment where vulnerable communities, like those affected by displacement, are able to handle challenges, thereby promoting local ownership and strengthening self-protection capacities.

The study focuses on the localisation of protection programming in Garissa and Turkana counties – and seeks a deeper understanding of the opportunities available and entry points for engagement with local actors supporting refugees and host communities. The research seeks to map out localisation efforts in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps, identifying entry points to new collaborations and engagement for more localised protection outcomes and draw out key information and recommendations from the challenges and lessons from international and local actors.

University of Shanghai, OCHA & Islamic Relief: Embracing Knowledge & Expertise: Women’s Leadership in Addressing Climate-Driven Humanitarian Emergencies in Afghanistan

November 2024

Despite being one of the lowest greenhouse gas emitters globally, Afghanistan ranks eighth out of 170 countries in terms of climate vulnerability, facing frequent and severe natural disasters such as floods, flash floods, and droughts.

The intersection of climate change, gender dynamics, and mobility creates a unique set of challenges that
disproportionately affect Afghan women and girls due to the current socio-political context, gender norms, limited income, lack of access to higher education, and exclusion from decision-making processes.

This paper produced collaboratively by Samuel Hall, Islamic Relief, University of Shanghai and OCHA highlights stories of two Afghan women to underscore two crucial points: first, on how the climate response has been deeply enriched by the leadership and contributions of women.

Second, it underscores that the humanitarian sector’s localisation agenda, and the development sector’s Basic Human Needs (BHN) approach, cannot be fully realised without the meaningful inclusion of women and faith actors.

Forced Migration Review: Financing Displacement Response
Forced Migration Review: Financing Displacement Response

November 2024

From humanitarian aid by wealthy governments to remittances from diaspora communities, responses to forced displacement are shaped by funding from an array of actors, in ways that express those actors’ interests and priorities. In recent years, new actors and new financing approaches have emerged.

What do these shifts mean for forcibly displaced people and displacement response strategies? How does displacement response financing interact with the choices of forcibly displaced people and their communities, with local and global economies, and with broader geopolitical events and trends? This issue advances understanding of these questions and others.

NRC: Evaluation Final Report Final Evaluation of the project "Integrated Emergency Aid for Conflict-Affected Populations in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon"

October 2024

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has been present in Cameroon since 2017 as part of their mission to respond to the Southwest and Northwest(SW and NW) crisis. NRC’s project “Integrated Emergency Aid for Conflict-Affected Populations in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon” focused on delivering multi-sectoral emergency assistance to communities in vulnerable situations, focusing on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

Funded by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), the project’s objectives align with the BHA’s mission of providing food and non-food international disaster aid to better support those in need of humanitarian assistance. NRC commissioned Samuel Hall to evaluate the success of their activities under the two phases of the projects entitled “Emergency Assistance and NFI Support for Vulnerable Communities Affected by Displacement in the Southwest and Northwest regions of Cameroon” from 2020 to 2022 and “Integrated Emergency Aid for Conflict-Affected Populations in the Northwest and Southwest Region of Cameroon” from 2022 to 2024.

FAIR: Discourse and Policies: Silencing Returnees and the Need for More Inclusive Return Policies

October 2024

In our latest paper as part of the Horizon Europe FAiR project, we explore two types of migration narratives: those told by migrants and those told about them by media, policymakers, and others. When these perspectives align or diverge, they influence critical areas like return, readmission, and reintegration policies.

Narratives by migrants correspond to personal testimonies shared by migrants themselves and provide first-hand evidence on motivations,
challenges, and experiences behind migration. In contrast, narratives about migrants are developed by media, policymakers, religious actors, and other third parties. Understanding where they align or misalign is key to analysing the impact of policies in the realm of return, readmission, and reintegration.

This paper is structured on the basis of an analysis of narratives and discourses about return in order to develop new approaches that incorporate narratives from returnees and ensure more inclusive policy processes.

ADSP: Expert Analysis: Water, climate, and refuge across Afghanistan and the sub-region
ADSP: Expert Analysis: Water, climate, and refuge across Afghanistan and the sub-region

October 2024

For over 40 years, Iran and Pakistan have been home to Afghan refugees. Today both countries host over 90% of the world’s Afghan refugees and other migrants in refugee like situations (over 8 million people). The region of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran also ranks as high or very high among countries at risk to impacts of climate change – where water, as a resource, is especially scarce. Afghanistan and Pakistan rank low on the capacity to deal with the impacts of climate change, whilst Iran is ranked as an upper-middle country. Any durable solution for Afghan displacement in the region must integrate concerns related to climate change, and resources, including – and especially water.

This expert analysis draws from interviews conducted in Pakistan, expert opinions, media reports, policy reports, and secondary data and provides three country profiles for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. Focused on climate, water, and Afghan migration, each section provides pathways forward for durable solutions for displacement, climate change, and water, with an emphasis on regional cooperation.

MIDEQ Research report: Children in migration
MIDEQ Research report: Children in migration

September 2024

This study sheds light on the realities faced by children migrating along corridors like Burkina Faso-Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia-South Africa, and Egypt-Jordan. In Burkina Faso, boys migrate to fulfil societal norms, while girls use migration to challenge those expectations. In Egypt, children adapt to new family roles, and in Ethiopia, child migration linked to labour is normalised, despite the severe risks like trafficking.

Drawing from our research with Save the Children on the dangers faced by child migrants along the Central Mediterranean Route, the study reveals their extreme vulnerability to trafficking and exploitation at border crossings. To tackle these challenges, it calls for context-specific interventions and advocates for stronger policies to protect child migrants in Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, and across the Central Mediterranean Route. The study also emphasises the need for dedicated programs to directly address the risks faced by young migrants and highlights the importance of collaboration among governments, NGOs, and international bodies.

Our research with MDEQ shows that while children in South-South migration are vulnerable and exposed to many risks, they are also capable of negotiating these challenges, developing coping mechanisms, and showing resilience. By adopting this positive approach, programmers and policymakers can better recognise and adapt to the strengths of these children, ensuring more effective and meaningful support.
