Regardless of the reasons and the initiators for migration, community control over resettlement both at the origin and destination leads to more positive outcomes for both the communities being resettled and the receiving communities  . The protection of livelihoods contributes to ensuring the well-being  and the protection of the rights of communities  . There is limited evidence but high agreement that the outcomes of resettlement initiatives are complex and multi-faceted . For example, in Shangnan County, northwest China, the Massive Southern Shaanxi Migration Program, based on voluntary participation, reduced risk exposure and improved the quality of life in general, but also disproportionately increased the vulnerability of disadvantaged groups  . Similarly, vulnerability increased due to the loss of connection to place and community bonds in Mekong Delta, Vietnam , and due to unsafe construction, poor infrastructure, institutional incapacity and general neglect in resettlement initiatives in Malawi, sub-Saharan Africa .
