This book delves into the dynamics of human mobility and migration in the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region during the COVID-19 pandemic. It uses empirical sources from extensive fieldwork in the region to assess the impact of COVID-19 on conflict-induced internally displaced persons (IDPs), vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, the response of the government and IDPs coping mechanisms. It traces migration governance from regional and national perspectives and shares the opportunities and challenges in the region. The book presents the lessons learned and shares a way forward for the region during future pandemics. Chapters cover topics such as the protection of migrant workers' rights, livelihoods of cross-border traders and communities and the gender dimension of COVID-19 impacts. It is a valuable read for students, policymakers, policy advisors, academics and all those interested in studies on migration and migration-related diversities.
