Policy-Relevant Research Projects
The Centre for Migration Studies (CMS) undertakes a wide range of interdisciplinary research and policy-oriented projects that address contemporary migration challenges in Ghana, West Africa, and globally. These projects are designed to generate evidence-based knowledge, strengthen institutional capacity, and inform policy and practice on migration and displacement.
CMS projects span themes such as forced displacement, labour migration, migration governance, diaspora engagement, climate-induced mobility, urbanisation, migration and health, and social protection. Through collaborative partnerships with universities, governments, international organisations, and development partners, the Centre contributes to advancing Global South perspectives in migration research and policy discourse.
