About the Course
The Migration, Remittances and Sustainable Rural Development Training Course examines the relationship between migration and rural economic and social development. The course provides participants with practical knowledge for understanding how rural-urban migration, international migration, seasonal migration, labour mobility, diaspora engagement, and remittances influence households, communities, local economies, and development outcomes.Participants will also explore the links between migration, climate resilience, digital transformation, youth employment, women's economic empowerment, rural entrepreneurship, informal economies, and urban-rural linkages. Particular attention is given to strategies that enable rural communities to benefit from migration while strengthening local livelihood opportunities.Through case studies, practical exercises, policy analysis, and group discussions, participants will develop skills for assessing migration-development linkages and designing programmes that harness migration as a contributor to inclusive economic growth, sustainable livelihoods, rural resilience, and community development.
