Synopsis (short abstract) This brief presents the main features of the Migration and Rural Development Handbook, based mainly on the guidance materials developed in the framework of the Rural Youth Mobility Project (RYM). The RYM Project was launched in 2015 in Tunisia and Ethiopia to address the drivers of rural out-migration of youth - such as poverty, food insecurity and unemployment - while at the same time harnessing the development potential of migratory movements. The RYM had a strong capacity building component, as one of the main objectives of the Project was to strengthen governments' capacity to better address migration issues in the context of rural development and vice versa.

    Migration is on the rise and it is one of the more widely-debated topics in the development community. There is a growing focus on the causes and impacts of migration and the best ways to address the needs of affected communities and individuals. While migration has long been part of a wider process of development and structural transformation, migrants often feel they have no choice but to leave home, due to poverty or other harsh conditions. Despite the focus on international migration, most migrants move within their home countries. In 2017, international migration reached an estimated 258 million people, but domestic migration involved 763 million.
