GCRF South-South Migration, Inequality and Development Hub

全球南方国家之间的移民，也称为南南移民（SSM），占所有国际移民的近一半，在某些地方几乎达到70%。SSM为制定和实现可持续发展目标做出贡献的潜力得到了广泛认可，但仍未实现，这主要是由于全球、国家和地方层面存在的不平等现象，这些不平等现象决定了谁能够（和不能）移民、移民到哪里以及在哪些条款和条件下。这些多层面的不平等现象与移徙者及其家人缺乏权利、旅途困难、昂贵、有时甚至危险以及获得服务和保护的机会有限有关，而这反过来又会加剧不平等现象。确保SSM减少不平等并有助于实现可持续发展目标的挑战是棘手的，原因是：缺乏证据表明横向和纵向不平等如何破坏主要的发展投资和政策，以及可以克服与SSM相关的不平等的干预措施类型。- 现有的发展办法未能考虑到特殊保障机制如何（和相关政策）受到更广泛的经济、政治和社会进程的影响（和相关部门政策）;- 侧重于个别官方发展援助接受国，而不是连接原籍国和目的地国的移徙“走廊”沿着的动态影响以及（（a）人口、资金、贸易和知识的双向流动;（b）移徙政治化，越来越倾向于注重移徙管理和边境控制，而牺牲了公平的移徙和发展相关成果;（c）许多发展政策规划自上而下、高层次的导向，注重经济指标和成果，而不是广义的经验和福祉，可能使移徙者失去人性;政策和法律的框架之间的差距，以限制与SSM相关的不平等（如果存在），以及在实践中公平交付/实施。该中心旨在应对这一挑战，并确保SSM能够为减贫，发展和实现可持续发展目标，特别是可持续发展目标1，5，8和10做出更公平和有效的贡献。它首次将来自12个官方发展援助受援国的研究和交付伙伴聚集在一起，构成六个SSM“走廊”（布基纳法索-科特迪瓦，中国-加纳，吉布提-约旦，埃塞俄比亚-南非，海地-巴西，尼泊尔-马来西亚），他们将与五个联合国机构和经合组织合作。该中心将提供以挑战为主导的研究和评估计划，以解决与SSM相关的不平等问题，进行广泛的新数据收集和政策分析，并在一系列地理环境中测试干预措施和解决方案。海外发展研究所（ODI）将领导该中心的沟通和传播工作，与我们在全球南方的研究伙伴合作，为不同的地方，该中心建立在现有的RCUK投资基础上，但也发展公平的新伙伴关系，以产生关于棘手问题的新颖和创新的观点。这是他试图解决的挑战。特别是，通过汇集来自全球南方的研究人员在组成SSM走廊的国家工作，并将这些团队与全球北方的领先移民学者联系起来，该中心为走廊内和走廊之间以及更广泛的SSM提供了重要的交叉学习机会。在此过程中，它提供了相当大的附加值，加强了理解和应对与SSM和实现可持续发展目标相关的挑战的能力。

Migration between the countries of the Global South, otherwise known as South-South migration (SSM), accounts for nearly half of all international migration, reaching almost 70% in some places. The potential of SSM to contribute to development and delivery of the SDGs is widely acknowledged but remains unrealised, largely due to existing inequalities at the global, national and local levels which determine who is (and is not) able to migrate, where to, and under which terms and conditions. These multidimensional inequalities are associated with a lack of rights for migrants and their families; difficult, expensive and sometimes dangerous journeys; and limited opportunities to access services and protection, which can, in turn, exacerbate inequalities. The challenge of ensuring that SSM reduces inequalities and contributes to delivery of the SDGs is intractable due to:- A lack of evidence about the ways in which horizontal and vertical inequalities can undermine major development investments and policies, and about the types of interventions which can overcome inequalities associated with SSM;- A failure of existing development approaches to take account of how SSM (and related policies) is/are influenced by broader economic, political and social processes (and relevant sectoral policies);- A focus on individual ODA-recipient countries rather than on dynamic effects along migration 'corridors' which connect origin and destination countries and the development implications of (two-way) flows of people, finance, trade and knowledge; - The politicisation of migration and a growing tendency to focus on migration management and border controls at the expense of equitable migration and development related outcomes; - The top-down, high-level orientation of much development policy planning which can dehumanise migrants by focusing on economic indicators and outcomes rather than experiences and well-being, broadly defined; and- A gap between policy and legal frameworks to limit inequalities associated with SSM (where these exist), and their equitable delivery / implementation in practice.The Hub is oriented towards addressing this challenge and ensuring that SSM is able to make a more equitable and effective contribution to poverty reduction, development and delivery of the SDGs, particularly SDGs 1, 5, 8 and 10. It does so by bringing together, for the first time, research and delivery partners from 12 ODA-recipient countries which constitute six SSM 'corridors' (Burkina Faso-Cote d'Ivoire, China-Ghana, Egypt-Jordan, Ethiopia-South Africa, Haiti-Brazil, Nepal-Malaysia) who will work in partnership with five UN agencies and the OECD. The Hub will deliver challenge-led programmes of research and evaluation to address inequalities associated with SSM, undertaking extensive new data collection and policy analysis, and testing interventions and solutions in a range of geographical contexts. The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) will lead the Hub's communication and dissemination work, working alongside our research partners in the Global South to develop a range of outputs for different local, national and global audiences to maximise the Hub's impact on policy and practice.The Hub builds on existing RCUK investments but also develops equitable new partnerships in order to generate novel and innovative perspectives on the intractable challenge which it seeks to address. In particular, by bringing together researchers from the Global South working across the countries making up the SSM corridors, and connecting these teams with leading migration scholars in the Global North, the Hub provides an opportunity for significant cross-learning within and between the corridors, and on SSM more generally. In so doing it offers considerable added value, strengthening capacity and capability for understanding - and responding to - the challenges associated with SSM and delivery of the SDGs.
