The Forced Migration Studies Programme (FMSP)is an internationally engaged; Africa-oriented; and Africa-based centre of excellence for research and teaching that helps shape global discourse on migration aid and social transformation. The site was created using Drupal 6, based on the Acquia Drupal distribution. This is an information rich website which serves to showcase the areas the FMSP is involved in, their research, news, events, and the courses they offer. An "intranet" component using organic groups allows the staff and students access to private materials and content. We also use the Biblio module for capturing and displaying academic publications.
