 The story of migration is largely being told in very dark, negative and very apocalyptic terms. A lot of the debate now is not based on facts. A lot of it is actually paranoia and also a lot of it is just emotion. So we need at least the importance of an organisation like REF is to bring the debate to a rational level. Migration is a central feature in the lives of millions of people in the Horn of Africa. The research and evidence facility has been created to understand what motivates it, how people respond to changes in the political and economic environment and how to provide effective protection to people made vulnerable by displacement and irregular migration in the form of evidence and policy relevant knowledge. It is a huge research area, it's very big. Combined with Somalia because they were moving from Somalia in different areas, this is where they were congregating. So you've got people moving from Sudan, moving from Somalia, you have people moving from Ethiopia, going to this area as well as South Sudan. We are asked to carry out research into the broader context in which people are moving. What are some of the drivers, the main reasons that people are on the move? What are some of the experiences of movement? What are some of the intended or unintended impacts of these activities that are now being carried out under other trust fund activities? We're trying to look at that complexity and give some appreciation of that complexity and then I understand what sort of programming can you do that doesn't cripple movement. To unpack this complexity, the REF takes a holistic comprehensive approach and has thus far examined cross-border economies, migration that occurs from the rural to urban areas, experiences of return and reintegration after displacement, and networks of human smuggling and trafficking. It is an approach that was informed by an extensive literature review that highlighted the research gaps and the starting points to take off from. We're so overwhelmed with information. For us it's a kind of guarantee of quality. From the findings and from the recommendations, I'm going to at least use one and be smarter in my next design or be smarter in the way I approach a problem or be smarter in the way that I also engage with a local partner on a very sensitive issue which is migration. So it's like taking, doing your job really, which is to have the information as a quality information to inform the way you are working on an everyday basis. Some part of what the REF does is really about bringing information together. This sort of big stock-taking exercise in the beginning that allowed us to sort of have one idea about what's out there, on migration for the horn, the various dimensions that it encompasses that gives us a starting point. This region has good universities, has very smart people, people who are on the ground who know things that we don't. And being able to access that when there's a question when something comes up, that's a big thing. You definitely get their perspective in the research. They're not just there collecting transcripts and interviewing people. We're getting their reports at the end of it as well and in many cases they're actually contributing and writing to the final report. So there's definitely that feedback mechanism and that feedback process which I think makes a lot of the outputs of the REF particularly relevant to lots of different people. The most difficult part is like how to translate that knowledge generated from below in a language that policymakers also understand. Our own research has generated a lot of expectation from the migrants. We do want to sound extractive, just simply extracting knowledge and go. And then they were constantly asking us, so what is this for? And they have lots of problems and most of the problems are kind of policy related whether at the regional or international level. They were constantly reminding us that, you know, try to kind of like, you know, use this knowledge that you gained from us to inform policy making processes. Studies conducted by the REF have informed programming of the Horn of Africa window of the EU Trust Fund for Africa and the work of UNHCR related to refugees returning to Somalia. We have been very impressed by the reports we received regarding the return of the population of the Somalians who have been in the refugee camps for many years. The research that was done have been of use to me as a special envoy in my advocacy work, so we know the challenges that the retanis are confronted with and how best we can help them to fully integrate into the society. We would like to try to demystify the work that is often very emotive and very sensitive when it comes to working with refugees and a research and evidence facility through independent studies can actually show that it is important and it is possible actually to create a win-win situation between host community and refugees and this is exactly what we are doing through some of our programs. The REF takes a unique approach towards communications and dissemination to reach a broad and diverse range of audiences. Most of the time research activities tend to really think of communication as an afterthought. First the key focus is on the studies, on the analysis, on gathering the data and so you think about the dissemination later and what is really unique about the REF is that we acknowledge that there is a need for communication strategy to be built in to the research itself from the beginning. Thank you.
