Too many models of migration root causes programs, including the U.S. government Root Causes Strategy for Migration, fail to center the negative impact of weak and unresponsive national and local institutions. Greater philanthropic investments are needed to strengthen, accelerate and scale-up promising approaches to citizenship strengthening and genuine localization processes that increase access to public services and public investments for the most vulnerable urban and rural populations. This breakfast panel will showcase how increasing responsiveness and coordination with national and local institutions is essential to addressing the systemic root causes of migration.
