Rigorous, evidence-based analysis on migration and human mobility

Featured Analysis

Refonder Mobility between Mali and Europe

The dynamics of the Atlantic route require structural solutions, not just emergency management. Our latest analysis, the result of a collective intelligence workshop in Bamako, proposes a new framework for legal mobility, reintegration, and regional governance.

Takeaways

* Successful reintegration requires community integration and economic inclusion, going beyond individual assistance.

* Legal mobility should be a strategic priority with well-structured agreements.

* It is urgent to address the “blind spot” in the protection of women and children by documenting the specific risks they face.
