Description
DRC would like to hire a consultancy firm (individual or team) to conduct a study on ‘Eritrean Migration to and through Ethiopia since the Peace Deal’, to inform DRC and other agencies’ future approaches to supporting Eritrean refugees to access alternatives to irregular migration.
The main questions to be addressed through the consultancy, subject to refinement, include:
- How has migration from Eritrea to Ethiopia changed since the Peace Deal, in terms of rate and the profile of refugees and potential migrants, in terms of gender, age, etc.?
- How has migration of Eritreans through Ethiopia and onwards to other countries changed since the Peace Deal, in terms of rate and the profile of refugees and potential migrants, in terms of gender, age, etc.?
- Analysis of the protection risks before and since the Peace Deal, in terms of types of risks, rate, and the profile of those affected by different risks, in terms of gender, age, etc.
- Have there been changes in alternatives to onward migration for Eritreans (such as family reunification, out of camp integration), the numbers of Eritreans accessing such alternatives, and the accessibility of such alternatives for Eritreans? If so, what changes have been observed and what are the current trends?
The research is to be conducted between December 2019 and the end of January 2020. The draft report should be submitted by 1 February 2020 for feedback and the final report should be submitted by 20 February 2020.
