The study had its own innovative elements, among which the use of a natural experiment (NE) that capitalized on the opportunity presented by the...
The Interagency Working Group against Trafficking in Persons’ (ICAT) is organizing the Webinar Series 2023 on Data Gathering, Analysis and Visualization. The first webinar will take place on 1 June 2023 at 10 am and 4 pm CET.
The materials produced include short videos of migrant stories, a podcast series facilitating dialogue and exchanges among experts and practitioners, and capacity development videos, particularly suited for training activities.

The Horn of Africa region has a high volume of migration flows both into, out of, and within the region. The reasons for migration vary, but deteriorating socio-economic conditions are a significant factor. However, the journey and arrival in transit and host countries present many challenges and risks to migrants, including protection risks, human rights...
The IOM Regional Office for the East and Horn of Africa hosted (11-13 of April) a Regional Stocktaking workshop in Nairobi (Kenya) on the evidence on migrant protection and reintegration in the Horn of Africa.

Recognizing that local communities in transit locations are key stakeholders in the migration process, MMC and IOM have partnered under the 2022 Regional Migrant Response Plan for the Horn of Africa and Yemen to design and implement a mixed-methods study to generate an evidence-base on the dynamics between local communities and transiting migrants along the...
The report presents key results from a rigorous impact evaluation that assessed the impact of the Migrants as Messengers (MaM) information events in Dakar, Senegal. MaM was a peer-to-peer awareness-raising campaign implemented in Senegal, Guinea and Nigeria from December 2017 to March 2019. The impact evaluation in Senegal focused on a key pillar of the MaM...
How can practitioners and policymakers effectively measure the impact of migration policy programmes?

This brief theoretically and empirically considers the extent to which...
During the event, the World Bank, IOM and partners provided insights on the methodology, as well as on the recommendations used to conduct longitudinal studies.
The objective of this paper is to design a methodology for a longitudinal study on reintegration outcomes for returnees. A longitudinal study involves a methodology that allows the same variables to be observed over time, thereby allowing a window into the effect of time on the dynamic being studied. This report presents a proposed methodology for a...
These improvements specifically targeting the accessibility have been implemented while recognizing the rapid evolvement of the digital ecosystems and tools, and therefore the need to consider them as part of a continuous work in progress.
