About MMC\u2019s work in Eastern and Southern Africa<\/h2>\n

MMC engages in data collection, research, analysis and policy development on mixed migration in Eastern and Southern Africa. <\/span>The core areas of focus include the Eastern route, from East and the Horn of Africa towards the Gulf; the Southern route from East Africa and the Great Lakes towards South Africa; and the Central Mediterranean Route (also called the Northern Route) from East and the Horn of Africa towards North Africa.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our primary objectives are to fill the knowledge gap on mixed migration in the region; to inform programming for refugees and migrants, particularly in the area of protection; and to inform policy-making around the rights and protection of people on the move.<\/span><\/p>\n

MMC\u2019s flagship data collection project \u2018<\/span>4Mi<\/span><\/a>\u2019 <\/span> currently operates in Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan and South Africa, where enumerators carry out surveys with people travelling along mixed migration routes out of East Africa towards North Africa and Europe (Northern route), Yemen & Saudi Arabia (Eastern route) and Southern Africa (Southern route).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row beigebox=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]\n

Mixed Migration in Eastern and Southern Africa<\/h2>\n

Migration in and from East Africa is significant in volume and diverse in profile and mixed migration flows include refugees, asylum seekers, forced migrants, as well as migrants who are motivated to move by many different factors. Mixed migration flows from the East Africa region typically follow three main migratory routes: the \u2018Northern Route\u2019 towards North Africa and often onwards to Europe; the \u2018Southern Route\u2019 towards South Africa; and the \u2018Eastern Route\u2019 towards Yemen and other parts of the Gulf. MMC\u2019s research finds that a complex mix of conflict, insecurity and economic factors are key drivers of mixed migration from East Africa, with a variety of profiles of people on the move.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row beigebox=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_tta_tabs shape=”square” alignment=”center” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”Latest Publications” tab_id=”latest-publications”][three_res filter_region_only=”3″ filter_resource_type=”99,105,196,152″ filter_cat_only=”” filter_offset=”0″ more_text=”All East and Southern Africa resources” more_url=”https:\/\/staging.maisoninteractive.com\/mixedmigrationcenter\/resources\/?keyword=&action=search&topic=&type=&region=3&sortby=date-desc&country=&publisher=”][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Latest Mixed Migration Updates” tab_id=”latest-mixed-migration-updates”][three_res filter_region_only=”3″ filter_resource_type=”192″ filter_cat_only=”” filter_offset=”0″][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Latest Articles” tab_id=”latest-articles”][three_articles size=”3″ width=”3″ filter_content=”region” filter_region=”3″ filter_offset=”0″][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” white_section=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]\n
