The Migration DRC was established as a partnership between institutions in South Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Central and Eastern Europe. Together, we undertake the research, capacity building and dialogue necessary for evidence-based and pro-poor migration policies. Following a focus on DFID priority countries in 2008-2009, Migration DRC research will concentrate on Bangladesh and Ghana.
