42:56Hello and welcome to Episode 55 of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , a show about anything and everything to do with migration and diaspora engagement. I’m delighted to be joined today by Linda Oucho , Executive Director of the African Migration and Development Policy Centre (AMADPOC), who shares her insights into African migrant decision-making. About Linda Linda is an established migration expert with over a decade of experience leading AMADPOC – a research think tank based in Nairobi, Kenya. Linda returned to Kenya after 16 years studying abroad in Ghana, Botswana and the UK. She draws from her experience as a migrant to understand the dynamic nature of migration to, from and within Africa. Linda has undertaken consultancies with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), the African Union Commission, among other intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations. She works closely with African governments, including Kenya where she serves as an active member of the National Coordination Mechanism for Migration (NCM) advocating for the use of research to inform migration decision-making, policy design and implementation. What we talk about Today, Linda shares a range of insights on migrant decision making, drawing from emerging findings of DYNAMIG , a three-year project that aims to create a more thorough understanding of how people make decisions on whether and how to migrate. We talk about: How the DYNAMIG project functions and how they’re conducting their research. The factors that contribute to Africans’ decisions to migrate. Whether or not policies to deter migration actually work. African migrants’ increasing awareness of protection issues (or their lack of protection). As always, lots of links in the show notes so be sure to find this episode at homelandsadvisory.com/podcast . If you enjoy this episode, I invite you to leave a review via your preferred podcasting platform and to share the podcast with your migration-enthusiast friends.

43:53Hello and welcome again to yet another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , where we showcase projects and people from the field of migration and diaspora engagement. I’m your host Loksan Harley from Homelands Advisory , your independent migration and diaspora agency. India is one of the most interesting countries to study when it comes to migration. When I think of Indian migration, my mind jumps to the large Indian diaspora community in the UK, the migrant workers in the Gulf, historical indentured servitude in Africa, and Indian tech founders in Silicon Valley. One thing I don’t think much about is India-EU migration. So I’m delighted to have Naozad Hodiwala on the show to tell us all about the emerging trends and growing potential of the India-EU migration relationship. About Naozad Naozad Hodiwala is the International Centre for Migration Policy Development’s (ICMPD) Country Coordinator for India at the South and West Asia Regional Office . Since 2017, in this role, Naozad has been helping ICMPD to co-implement a project (the EU-India Cooperation and Dialogue on Migration and Mobility (EU-India CDMM) project ) that supports the EU-India Common Agenda on Migration and Mobility ( CAMM ). Through the dialogue support initiative, Naozad has facilitated several high-level meetings on migration governance, including on migration data, remittances, student mobility, and welfare of Indians in the EU. And all this is part of his more than 17 years of experience in migration management across Asia and Africa. It comes as no surprise to me that, in 2020, Naozad was recognised as a Top 40 under 40 Leader by the Europe-India Centre for Business Industry (EICBI) . When not jetting across the globe, he is an avid tennis fan, enjoys walks with his dog, and is a proud husband and father of two girls. Which is lovely to hear and you’ll also learn more about his own fascinating migration and diaspora story in a moment. The ICMPD is an international organisation, with 20 Member States and working in more than 90 countries worldwide. Contributing to the development of better and safer migration policies and programmes, ICMPD takes a holistic approach to migration: structurally linking policy and research, cooperation, community outreach, and capacity development. With over 500 staff members, it takes a regional approach in its work towards efficient cooperation and partnerships along key migration routes, with a focus on Africa, Central and South Asia, Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. Founded in 1993 with headquarters in Vienna and a liaison office in Brussels, ICMPD holds UN observer status and cooperates with more than 200 partners including EU institutions, UN agencies, Member States, and several countries. ICMPD receives contributions from its Member States and bilateral donors, the European Commission, UN partners, and other multilateral institutions. What we talk about In today’s episode, we’re talking EU-India migration, including: The migration trends between the two superpowers. The potential that migration holds for both sides in helping balance labour supply and demand. How that potential can be maximised through measures to facilitate and support migration in a way that can benefit Europe, India and those who choose to move. The EU-India Cooperation and Dialogue on Migration and Mobility project.

38:51Hello and welcome again to yet another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , where we showcase projects and people from the field of migration and diaspora engagement. I’m your host Loksan Harley from Homelands Advisory , your independent migration and diaspora agency. Now, it’s been a while since we talked about Latin America on this podcast, so I’m very excited to present to you a conversation with Mara Tissera Luna , one of the region’s preeminent experts on migration and especially children on the move in displacement situations, which is precisely the topic of the day. About Mara Mara is an international consultant focusing on displacement and protection responses in Latin America and the Caribbean. She’s a fellow at the Collaborative on Global Children’s Issues at Georgetown University and has provided technical advice and applied research to UNICEF, the University of Edinburgh, Refugees International, and International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) in 14 countries, contributing to 25+ reports, handbooks, and short articles . What we talk about In today’s episode, we talk all about the rather harrowing protection issues faced by children in situations of displacement in Latin America, including: The state of play of forced displacement in the region. Specific trends in the displacement of children. Solutions to address these very pressing needs. Mara draws both from her recent research on very young children in Guatemala, as well wider research on the topic. We’ve included some links to some of these sources in the show notes as there is a lot to know and we couldn’t cover anything in a 45-minute podcast. Anyway, without further ado, I’d like to thank you again for tuning in and we hope you enjoy the show.

59:31Hello and welcome to a very special episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , in which we have our first-ever repeat guest. Great friend of Homelands Advisory and star guest of episode 2 , Dr Martin Russell , AKA Doctor Diaspora, is back on the show to talk about the state of the diaspora engagement sector now four years on from that first interview. About Martin Everyone who works on diaspora engagement is more than familiar with Martin but for those of you who aren’t, Martin is the founder of the Global Diaspora Insights (GDI), a consulting firm. He completed his PhD at the Clinton Institute (University College Dublin) where his research focused on the role of the Irish diaspora in the Northern Ireland Peace Process specifically looking at diaspora media, diaspora philanthropy, and diaspora politics. What we talk about In today’s episode, we both reflect on our collective experience working on diaspora engagement in more than 50 countries, including: The evolving differences between migration and diaspora. The state of the diaspora engagement sector (progress made and opportunities missed). Diaspora diplomacy as an outsized opportunity area for governments. It’s a bit of a “no holds barred” talk in which we try not to pull any punches. We’d like to thank you for tuning in and we hope you enjoy the show.

45:43Hello and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , produced by Homelands Advisory , your independent migration agency. In case this is your first time tuning in, we spotlight projects, research and stories related to people on-the-move. Today, we’ve got a heavyweight of the migration world, Rob McNeil from the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford , on the show to get his take on contemporary public debate on migration. About Rob Rob is the Deputy Director and Head of Media and Communications at the Migration Observatory, where he leads on public relations strategy, parliamentary and community outreach and news and commentary work. Rob was actually part of the team who launched the Observatory in 2011 and, since then, has been working to embed its analysis in public debates. Rob also participates in Oxford University and the Centre on Migration, Policy and Society’s (COMPAS) research projects, examining the social environments from which news stories and narratives about migration and migrants emerge, how media debate affects migration policy decisions (and vice versa), and how information gaps affect how these issues are discussed. Rob is a former journalist and previously served as Media Director for the US environmental organisation Conservation International, PR manager for Oxfam GB, Senior Press Officer for WWF-UK, and as a journalist for the Evening Standard, The Daily Mirror, Time Out and BBC Wildlife, among other publications. What we talk about That’s quite the track record. In today’s far-reaching, perhaps meandering, interview, I learn from Rob’s extensive media and academic experience studying migration narratives and debates, especially in the UK and Europe (though parallelling discourse in many other countries). We discuss the nature of these migration debates and, in particular, which factors seem to lead to more balanced and less toxic debates on migration. I’m sure you’ll agree this is a very timely conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed having Rob on the show because he not only speaks from his eminent position at the Observatory, but also draws from his experience working on different topics in different countries. I’d like to thank Rob for coming on the show and thank you for listening. And without further ado, please sit back and enjoy the episode.

41:04Hello and you’re listening to the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , a show that shines light on some of the most impactful trends, projects and people working in the field of migration and diaspora engagement. And I’m your host, Loksan Harley, Executive Director of Homelands Advisory - your independent migration agency specialised in research, policy development and trainings. About Bashàïr Today, I’m joined by Dr Bashàïr Ahmed , CEO of Shabaka , a diaspora-led organisation specialised in research, policy and practice contributing to the role of diaspora and migrants in humanitarian preparedness, response, and recovery. Based in Brighton, UK, Bashàïr has over 20 years’ experience working with United Nations agencies and international organisations focused on fragile and conflict-affected countries. Bashàïr has consulted on a wide range of migration and diaspora initiatives, including the protection of irregular migrants, the development of e-trainings on humanitarian principles for diaspora organisations, and providing guidance on diaspora engagement in development and humanitarian response. Bashàïr holds a doctorate in Migration Studies from the University of Sussex, where she also serves as a Research Associate; her academic interests include humanitarianism, diasporas, migration and development, and intergenerational engagement. What we talk about The state of play of diaspora engagement in humanitarianism. How diasporas contribute to response to and recovery from different forms of crisis. How traditional humanitarian organisations currently work with diaspora organisations. Constraints on diaspora groups’ humanitarian involvement. The shifts required to amplify diaspora groups’ impact in humanitarian contexts as well as their critical role in localising aid and humanitarian responses. For those of you whose interest in the topic is piqued by this conversation, I recommend tuning into Episode 12 on the same topic, which you can find on homelandsadvisory.com/podcast where you’ll also see a form at the top of the page allowing you to subscribe to the podcast to never miss an episode. Anyway, without further ado, I’d like to thank Bashàïr very much for coming on the show and I very much hope that you enjoy our conversation. Cluster system: According to UN OCHA , the humanitarian cluster system is a coordination mechanism used by the UN and other humanitarian organizations to respond to crises. It is designed to organize humanitarian actors into core sectors, such as water, health and food security.

41:43Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , where we discuss topics, projects, ideas, and everything else related to migration and diaspora engagement. Today, we’ve got a podcast about, well, podcasting. We’ve got Ana Lucía Gutiérrez González on the show to share her wonderful story connecting with fellow Peruvian diaspora women through the Granadilla Podcast that she hosts. About Ana Ana interviews Peruvian women around the world and shares their stories as a form of inspiration and motivation for future female migrants while creating a space to empower them. She is currently pursuing a PhD in migration, focusing on Peruvian migrant women while running operations for a startup in Israel. She is married and has a dog. Ana loves travelling, good food and long naps. BTW, these introductions I include at the beginning of each episode are the bios that guests share with me and I love that having a dog and enjoying naps feature in Ana’s. What we talk about Ana’s experience being a Peruvian diaspora woman. Building a podcast in the midst of a pandemic to connect with other Peruanas por el mundo . How Ana ended up turning that podcast into an organisation that not only tells diaspora stories but that also now connects, supports, trains and empowers Peruvian women. I really enjoyed having Ana on the show and I thoroughly recommend checking out the Granadilla Podcast, whether you’re a Peruvian or Latina migrant or if you’re simply interested in hearing some wonderful stories of identity and human connection. And listen out for the curious story behind the name of Ana’s podcast. Last but not least, thank you so much for tuning in and without further ado, please sit back and enjoy the show.

39:24Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , where we discuss topics, projects, ideas, and everything else related to the movement of people. Today, I’m joined by David Martineau , Senior Programme Manager at the International Organization for Migration (IOM), who tells us all about the Migration Governance Indicators (MGI) programme . About David Working within IOM’s department of policy and research, David works to build governments’ capacity to understand how their policy frameworks could better respond to emerging challenges and opportunities stemming from current migration dynamics. In his decade working at IOM, he has worked on the organisation’s engagement on the Sustainable Development Goals, New Urban Agenda and other multilateral processes. He was deployed to Moldova for the Ukraine response and worked on UN partnerships in New York. Before IOM, David studied and worked in Germany, Ukraine, Russia and Canada. David holds Masters degrees from the Munk School of Global Affairs (University of Toronto) and Queen’s University in Canada. What we talk about It was an absolute pleasure to have David on the show to tell us all about: How IOM helps different countries from around the world to assess their migration governance frameworks. What migration governance constitutes. The indicators used to measure migration governance. Knock-on effects that the MGI assessments have produced for the countries and municipalities who have benefited from the programme.

47:30Hello and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , a show about all things migration hosted by yours truly, Loksan Harley from Homelands Advisory . Today, we’ve got a fascinating episode featuring my friend Salvatore Petronella from Labor Mobility Partnerships (LaMP). About Salvatore Salvatore Petronella is a migration governance specialist focusing on the EU external dimension, with a special focus on labour mobility and the smuggling of migrants. He is currently the Knowledge and Influence Lead at LaMP, developing proof-of-concepts for EU Member States and engaging with industry representatives and international institutions. Salvatore previously coordinated the launch and implementation of the Migration Partnership Facility (MPF) at the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). He also worked at ICF International, leading various evaluation and impact assessments as well as serving as a senior expert to the European Migration Network (EMN). He previously worked at the European Commission (DG HOME) as a seconded national expert on integration policies. What we talk about I was keen to get Salvatore on the show to talk about his work at LaMP, as I’d been seeing and hearing a lot about this relatively new organisation and was curious to learn more. And because I was curious, well, I thought some of you might be curious about LaMP as well. So listen closely as Salvatore and I talk all about: LaMP and their work to develop new labour mobility schemes and partnerships. The broader demographic trends that are creating a need for labour mobility partnerships. How labour mobility is currently regulated. How labour mobility partnerships have the potential to match growing labour demands and shortages around the world. As always, I’d like to thank you very much for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show.

42:46Hello and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast , a show about all things migration. Today, I’m delighted to welcome Elana Wong from the Civil Society Action Committee (CSAC) to the show to talk about multi-stakeholder engagement in global migration governance. About Elana Elana is a young advocate for migrant rights, and civil and whole-of-society representation, currently serving as part of the secretariat for the CSAC and Global Forum on Migration & Development (GFMD) Civil Society Mechanism , housed under the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) . She formerly served as Co-Director (2021-2023) and Asia-Pacific Regional Lead (2020) for the Migration Youth & Children Platform , where she led youth participation in multiple migration advocacy processes at the global and regional processes, including the 2020 Global Compact for Migration Asia-Pacific Regional Review, the 2021 GFMD, and the 2022 International Migration Review Forum, as well as for cross-cutting international policy forums for UNESCO, WHO, and United Cities and Local Governance (UCLG). Originally from Malaysia and Singapore, she currently resides in the UK. What we talk about Elana and CSAC's work to engage in global migration governance processes like the Global Compact for Migration (GCM). Perspectives on how the GCM, adopted in 2018, has gone thus far with respect to civil society engagement. How the GCM's commitments to multi-stakeholder engagement compare with the realities of its implementation. How to enable meaningful multi-stakeholder engagement in global migration governance. I’m so glad to have Elana on the show to update us on this topic after her colleague and legendary civil society activist, Colin Rajah , came on the podcast ( Episode 16 ) a couple of years back to share some really valuable insights. I highly recommend you tune in to that one too. As always, thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy the show.

30:40Hello and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast . We're taking a break from recording at the moment as we are in a particularly busy period delivering projects for several of our clients, but in case you were missing us, we wanted to make sure that we got this discussion to your airwaves ASAP. I really enjoyed this conversation with Julien Simon, who is Head of Mediterranean Region at the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), who tells us all about the ICMPD's new #MigrationCapacityPartnerships. About Julien Simon Julien has had a highly distinguished two-decade career in migration, holding various positions at ICMPD since 2001, including Senior Programme Manager, Head of the Secretariat of the Mediterranean Transit Migration Dialogue, and Team Leader of the EUROMED Migration III. In 2016, Julien headed to Malta where he assumed the position of Regional Coordinator for the Mediterranean and set up ICMPD’s first regional office, entering his current position and Head of that Regional Office in 2021. That same year, Julien launched the concept of Migration Capacity Partnerships for the Mediterranean and oversaw the inauguration of the Training Institute for Migration Capacity Partnerships for the Mediterranean based in Valletta. In our conversation, Julien shares with us some of his incredible experiences and learnings from more than a decade of experience working on migration in the Mediterranean, which has for centuries been such a fascinating and eventful theatre of migration and mobility issues. What we talk about ICMPD's new Migration Capacity Partnerships: how ICMPD's new approach is set to revolutionise the way in which countries work together to strengthen migration governance. Migration challenges in the Mediterranean region. The European Union's New Agenda for the Mediterranean policy, adopted in February 2021 last year. Thank you so much for listening.
