Migration Health Research Area/Expertise
A co-coordinator and facilitator of the Migration Health Certificate course under the School of Social Sciences Makerere University, a collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Research interests spun migration in general and forced migration in particular, that is Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons. I have carried out research on the questions of the drivers, dynamics and challenges of rural to urban mobility in Gulu District, Northern Uganda; the question of refugee vulnerability refugee settlements and hosting areas in Uganda; question related to Child Protection, Child Rights and Gender-Based Violence; knowledge, attitude, behaviour & practices of young people in East African Highway towns in relation to the use mobile phones to access family planning & HIV/AIDS information. We have coordinated study programmes such as Implementing Migration Studies (IMMIS) project and the European Masters in Migration and Intercultural relations in corroboration with the University of Oldenburg, Germany. At the centre, we take a special focus on the questions of the intersection between Gender-Based Violence, HIV/AIDs, and livelihoods of displaced populations.
