Summary: The Global Development Network (GDN), an international organization dedicated to building research capacity in developing and transition countries, and the Institute for Public Policy Research (ippr), the UK’s leading independent think tank, invite expressions of interest to participate in their Global Research Project: Development on the Move: Measuring and Optimizing the Economic and Social Impacts of Migration. In phase 1 the project will commission approximately six research teams, with each to undertake a study examining the impacts of international migration upon development in their chosen case study country. Each study will involve two key components: (1) A household survey examining the developmental impacts of international migration in their chosen country. (2) A 50-100 page country report (drawing on multiple sources including results from the household survey) which analyses the impact of international migration on development in the chosen country, and discusses how policy can minimize migration’s negative impacts and maximize its positive ones. Approximately US $500,000 is available in total to the six country study teams to carry out the household survey and produce the country report for their chosen case study country. The project will run for approximately two years, from January 2008 to January 2010.
