CEA and Migration

The resources and tools on this page are designed to support the integration of Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA) into migration responses. They aim to ensure that the voices, needs, and feedback of migrants and affected communities are heard and acted upon at every stage—planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and learning. By embedding CEA throughout, responses become more inclusive, accountable, and effective in addressing the unique challenges faced by people on the move.
