Research & Evidence Facility [REF] On Migration - Split Across Borders: Displacement patterns in Juba, South Sudan
09.02.22 - While conducting lifeline interviews in Juba for our project on on ‘Displacement, Return & Reintegration in South Sudan’ with the ‘Research and Evidence Facility (REF) on migration in the Horn of Africa", (a research consortium led by SOAS University of London with partners from The University of Manchester and Sahan Research, Kenya) — we found that it's common for people to be displaced multiple times during their lifetime.
This sometimes splits their family across locations. Our research shows the importance of social connections & family ties in informing mobility choices. In this new blog for REF, co-founder Nassim Majidi and team share some insights from Juba on split families’ & displacement patterns in South Sudan.
