Migration in Eastern Africa

This book is a collection of essays written in honour of the late Professor John Oyaro Oucho, an icon of migration scholarship in the East Africa region. The book is constructed around themes which cover the nexus between challenges and opportunities in migration and national development. The book explores environmental planning and management, community development, urbanization, human impact on the environment, human security, rural settlement, health care, and governance, and is therefore valuable to postgraduate students, humanitarian agencies and governments with concerns surrounding emerging migration issues. Several chapters highlight the debate among scholars and policy-makers on the dynamic nature of migration patterns and streams; and the impact of these on the quality of migration data, migration theories, and the monitoring and evaluation tools which are appropriate for Africa’s development planning.
