Beyond Irregularity
The overarching objective of the “Beyond Irregularity: Towards a sustainable approach to dealing with irregular migration from Sub-Saharan Africa to Europe” project is to create an evidence base which will enable individual governments, the EU and others to better manage and prevent irregular migration from Sub-Saharan African countries and transit in Morocco to the EU, and to institutionalise a dialogue about these issues between them.
The project’s specific objectives are to:
- analyse recent trends regarding irregular migration between Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe through collaborative action-oriented research
- enhance through training and collaborative research the institutional capacity of governments and civil society actors in countries of origin and transit to combat irregular migration, migrant smuggling and human trafficking
- strengthen the protection of migrants’ rights in transit countries• raise awareness about the risks of irregular migration and exploitation by trafficking networks
- provide a strategic and sustainable framework for dialogue and cooperation around irregular migration and trafficking between EU member states and countries of origin and transit.
The project is coordinated by the Institute of Public Policy Research (IPPR) and PICUM is one of several project partners. PICUM’s role in this two-year project will end on 30 June 2013.
