Samuel Hall was commissioned by IOM Afghanistan with support from EU Partnerships to produce research briefs on the impact of climate change, mental health, infrastructure, and urban migration on displacement-affected communities in Afghanistan.

Our research briefs highlight recommendations on how reintegration programming can better accommodate sustainable solutions to climate change and infrastructure incorporating people’s mental health needs.
