The case asks participants to imagine that they work for the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC). The agencies are seeking perspectives on ways to improve migrants’ lifestyles in South Africa, in the realms of access to healthcare, protection from discrimination, and migrant housing. Migrants in South Africa face racial and economic tensions, a lack of access to quality housing and formal employment, a weak public health sector, and a healthcare system that struggles with high rates of communicable diseases. Meanwhile, migration policies remain cumbersome and bureaucratic, leading to less formal migration and more illegal migration. Participants can focus on one or several of these areas in their approaches. The HSRC and UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ long-term goal is to develop a

refugees. GHCC participants will propose how they would use a $100,000 planning grant to achieve these aims within five-year timeframe. Participating teams in the 2017 UVA GHCC are asked to create a proposal in response to the HSRC and UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ call that is true to their internal strategic objectives and that builds towards an innovative, effective, implementable, and financially sound proposal to enhance migrants’ lifestyles that will be presented to a panel of judges representing the two agencies.
