Migration and Displacement: Inclusion and Social Cohesion (Connecting Research, Data and Policy)

Equitable access to public basic services such as healthcare, education, water, employment and housing is a critical reflection of efficient policy implementation by governments. Moreover, vulnerable groups often find themselves at the center of polarised policy debates, leaving limited room for balanced and evidence-based assessment of the real challenges and opportunities they confront. With basic public services becoming increasingly scarce, governments, societies and stakeholders are compelled to strengthen their policies coupled with functional legal frameworks to foster social inclusivity and cohesion.
