PUTTING AN END TO
xenophobia
The Migration Project is co-funded by the European Union and implemented by DDP and KAS.
OUR OBJECTIVE
The objective of The Migration Project is to contribute towards improved community interrelationships and reduced conflict in KwaZulu-Natal through socio-economic cooperation between African migrants and their local host communities.
This is achievable through various interventions, such as:
- Strengthening the capabilities of civil society organisations (working on racial discrimination, racism, xenophobia and similar intolerances) for lessening xenophobic tendencies among African migrants, South Africans and duty-bearers in KwaZulu-Natal.
- Fostering improved long-term cooperation and business skills transfer between African migrants and the local communities they have settled in.
- Inviting the cooperation of duty-bearers in KwaZulu-Natal upon whom the responsibilities of social cohesion and socio-economic development lie.
- Various research initiatives to provide the necessary accurate data needed to develop long-term strategies to deal with issues of xenophobia.
- Training of local media to report sensitively and responsibly on matters of xenophobic violence and African migrants in South Africa.

This three-year-long project focuses on areas in the Durban and greater Durban area that are considered hotspots for xenophobic violence, namely:
- KwaMakhutha
- KwaMashu
- Isipingo
- Umlazi
- Sydenham
