CMI's work on Humanitarianism is closely related to our work on Migration. We work together in inter-disciplinary teams, and we conduct academic research, commissioned work, and evaluations.
Our research and evaluation expertise:
- Conflict and post-war reconstruction
- Humanitarian assistance and development
- Displacement
- Security and protection
- Humanitarian borders
- Humanitarian diplomacy
The group researches in several geographical regions including the Middle East, Central and South Asia, East Africa and Europe. We also carry out evaluations of specific projects and programs designed to promote peace and integration in these locations and we conduct country/regional analysis in collaboration with international and local partners.
