Mixed Migration in West Africa<\/h2>\n

West Africa is a region with a long-standing culture of migration, primarily characterized by intra-regional movements. Among refugees and migrants interviewed by 4Mi,\u00a0the data collection programme of MMC,<\/span>\u00a0those moving out of the region reported to be migrating predominantly towards North Africa and elsewhere in Africa, and to a lesser extent towards Europe. Return movements include expulsions from Algeria to Niger, evacuations from Libya to Niger, as well as returns through the Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration programmes. Mobility within and out of the region takes place through temporary, circular and more permanent movements, principally for the purpose of labor, but also for other reasons including personal or family reasons. Conflict and violence also lead to internal and cross-border displacement. While the majority of the population live in rural areas, West Africa is experiencing a rapid pace of urbanization.[\/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=”7″ filter_resource_type=”99,105,196,152″ filter_cat_only=”” filter_offset=”0″ more_text=”All West Africa resources” more_url=”https:\/\/staging.maisoninteractive.com\/mixedmigrationcenter\/resources\/?keyword=&action=search&topic=&type=&region=7&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=”7″ 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=”7″ 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
