Understanding policies and practices - and how to inform them
Speakers at the event shed light on different aspects of current South African migration policy and proposed changes. They also described Department of Home Affairs practices and other relevant societal developments and the impact they have on the lives of refugees and migrants. What are the implications of proposed changes to South African migration policies? How can civil society use research results to impact policy making processes and implementation, and to inform public discourses? These are some of the questions discussed in the Question and Answer session with the audience as well.
