Organizational Context and Scope
Project Context
Currently, IOM in Ethiopia is implementing a counter-trafficking project titled “Assessing Stigma, Improved Response and Evidence Base” (ASPIRE). The objective of the project is to contribute to improved counter-trafficking responses in Ethiopia and Indonesia through a social-norms and stigma-informed approach. Under the project, IOM in Ethiopia is seeking to strengthen the capacity of the research technical working group led by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education under the National Partnership Coalition (NPC) through supporting the group to achieve its strategic objectives and plans.
Today, the theoretical framework of international migration is made up of a fragmented group of theories that have developed several limitations in their field of study, which makes it more difficult to analyse the phenomena at the multidisciplinary level. As a result, the complexity of current migration phenomena, the obstacles in data collection and the limitations in theoretical framework pose challenges for migration studies. Valid, reliable, scientifically driven conceptualizations and arguments on migration are a critical need of the hour – not only for researchers and policymakers, but also for the public whose opinion has a significant role in policymaking. Strengthening the mapping of migration research in Ethiopia and improving accessibility of evidence around social norms and stigma drivers and consequences of trafficking in persons (TiP) through dissemination of research findings is among the main focuses of the ASPIRE project.
