The side event of the Commission for Social Development is to address current migration trends and their impact on families. In line with the priority theme of the Commission, “Inclusive and resilient recovery from COVID-19 for sustainable livelihoods, well-being and dignity for all: eradicating poverty and hunger in all its forms and dimensions to achieve the 2030 Agenda”, the event will also address migration and its role in poverty reduction and its contributions to the achievement of the relevant Sustainable Development Goals.

They will focus on the development of the national care form strategy in Kenya, workforce strengthening for care reform in Rwanda, and care system assessment in Uganda.
