ECO-ARISE focuses on analysing the interrelations between environmental change, infrastructure, and human mobility in selected regions of East Africa. ECO-ARISE develops an innovative decision-support tool to monitor ecosystem services and their relationship to population migration in regions experiencing rapid environmental and climate changes. The project integrates satellite data, participatory mapping, and social research to analyze how environmental degradation or restoration affects human mobility and well-being. By combining remote sensing, local knowledge, and data on public services and natural resources, ECO-ARISE creates a comprehensive framework to support governments, NGOs, and development organizations in designing sustainable land management and climate adaptation strategies.​
