ABOUT MECMEA
Managing the Impacts of Environmental Change and Conflict on Mobility in Eastern Africa
MECMEA is an 18-month regional initiative that addresses the intersection of climate change, environmental disasters, and conflict as key drivers of migration. The project strengthens multi-level policy coordination and inclusive governance through evidence-based policymaking, capacity-building, and policy dialogue.
Led by the Horn of Africa Regional Environment Centre and Network (HoA-REC&N) at Addis Ababa University, MECMEA brings together a consortium of partners from Kenya, Djibouti, and South Sudan to support vulnerable communities across Eastern Africa.
Key Objectives

- Build capacity: trainings for CSOs, youth, women, and policymakers
- Promote dialogue: stakeholder engagement and policy events
Expected Outcomes
- Strengthened governance frameworks for climate and conflict-induced mobility
- Improved capacity among regional actors
- Enhanced collaboration between governments, civil society, and researchers
