Executive summary
The objective of this policy paper is to propose a framework of concrete actions for legal and circular mobility, the reintegration of returnees, and the regional governance of migratory routes between Mali, its sub-region, and Europe. This document is part of a series of works by the Spanish Institute for Migration Analysis (IEAM) and is the result of a collective intelligence workshop held in Bamako with institutional actors, academics, migration researchers, associations, technicians, and economists, aimed at identifying common priorities and proposing operational mechanisms.
For Spain and, in general, for Europe, the recent dynamics in the Atlantic route—where Malians are among the most present nationalities on the route to the Canary Islands—call for going beyond emergency management to build structural solutions.
