Global Migration Lab Hosted by the the Australian Red Cross redcross.org.au/globalmigrationlab
• 2022 expenditure: CHF 1 million The Global Migration Lab seeks to ensure that
the voices, expertise and experience of migrants
and the communities in which they live, work and
transit are amplified to guide and inform migra-
tion policy and operations, and that research
on migration builds on evidence from people
directly affected.
The Lab’s work provides partners, governments
and the Red Cross and Red Crescent with rec-
ommendations and insights to influence the
structural factors that give rise to vulnerabilities
experienced by migrants across the world.
In 2022, the Lab published its ground-breaking
report –
Migrants’ perspectives: Building trust in
humanitarian action
surveying and interviewing
nearly 17,000 migrants across 15 countries. The
report, available in four languages, explores
factors that hinder and contribute to migrants’
trust in humanitarian organizations.
The Lab’s expertise has been featured globally,
including by the UN Network on Migration and the
Migration Policy Institute. Looking forward, the
Lab is undertaking further research on COVID-19
and migrants’ access to essential services, ana-
lyzing progress and setbacks three years into the
pandemic, as well as exploring gender and legal
status dynamics surrounding migrants’ trust and
conducting research on climate change, future
foresights, and cross-border collaboration. The
Lab also coordinated the consultation process
for the Movement’s Migration Strategy.
