Book (stand-alone)Mobile telephony in rural areas
Perspective from Latin America and the Caribbean
2011Mobile telephony has had a positive impact on many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean by contributing to rural development. However, there are certain limitations to address in order for this technology to be accessible to more individuals in rural communities, in particular those living in the most marginalized conditions and who would benefit most from the opportunities that this technology can provide. -
BookletHuman mobility in mountain areas in a changing climate 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The document, Human mobility in mountain areas in a changing climate, examines how climate change impacts human mobility in mountainous regions. These areas are increasingly vulnerable to both sudden hazards, like landslides and floods, and slow-onset changes, such as temperature rise and shifts in precipitation. These environmental stressors drive varied mobility patterns, including displacement, migration, and in some cases, immobility due to strong place attachment. The report draws on evidence from Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, highlighting how mountain communities respond to climate-induced pressures, with strategies ranging from pastoralism to labor migration. It also outlines the gendered dimensions of mobility, emphasizing the roles of women in managing households during male outmigration. The study points to the need for more targeted research, policy interventions, and support systems to mitigate the challenges faced by these vulnerable populations. By integrating mobility into climate adaptation plans, and leveraging Indigenous Peoples' knowledge with modern technologies, the report advocates for more comprehensive disaster risk management and sustainable development pathways in mountain regions -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Rural Youth Mobility project: Methodology and results 2018
Also available in:
No results found.This publication provides an overview of the methodology and best practices developed during the implementation of the Rural Youth Mobility Project (RYM) in Tunisia and Ethiopia, while decsribing the results acheived at country level. The Project was launched in 2015 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. With funding from the Italian Development Cooperation, RYM strives to shed lights on the drivers and patterns of rural migration and enhance governments’ capacity to better address migration issues in the context of rural development and vice versa. In migration-prone areas of Tunisia and Ethiopia, the Project has also provided unemployed youth with the necessary training and equipment to launch economic activities in rural areas - in a process that has been developed in close consultation with youth themselves.
