Using a comprehensive data set from surveys carried out over the period 2004–2010 in the region of Kagera in Tanzania, the article examines whether households whose members had migrated to a unimodal region of the country experienced a reduction in their vulnerability to expected poverty (VEP) relative to households whose members had migrated to a bimodal region, which was affected by the drought.
