Migration Policy Practice
(Vol. V, Number 3, July 2015September 2015)
The new issue of Migration Policy Practice focuses on the migration challenges
facing the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The first article in this issue, by Enas El Fergany from the League of Arab
States (LAS), addresses the important topic of how to promote regional
migration cooperation in the Arab region, which hosts more than 30 million
international migrants. The LAS has recently established an Arab Regional
Consultative Process on Migration, which is in the process of launching an Arab
Information System on Migration.
The second article, by Charef Mohamed, focuses on migration policy changes in
Morocco, including reforms to the migration and asylum policy prompted by the
Sept 2013 report of the Conseil National des Droits de lHomme, as well as the
regularization campaign.
The third article, by Michael Collyer, Bashair Ahmed, Markus Breines, Vanessa
Iaria and Elisa Pascucci, questions the validity of using the concept of root
causes of migration, which according to the authors has two significant
weaknesses: (1) it does not provide a basis for differentiating between
different groups of people with different needs and opportunities to move; and
(2) it fails to account for onward migration.
The fourth article, by Agnes Tillinac, discusses the subject of human
trafficking in the MENA region. The article presents new data on trafficking
based on research conducted in 2014 in Iraq, Libya and
Syrian Arab Republic. The article stresses the need to look at the way in
which humanitarian crises can increase human trafficking, and change its
patterns and render persons already displaced more vulnerable to trafficking.
The last article, by Steve Thorpe, presents an innovative new project the
Mixed Migration Hub (Mhub), which was developed within the framework of the
North Africa Mixed Migration Task Force. MHub is an information and research
network that collects, analyses and disseminates relevant data across the MENA
region.

| IOM-MPI Issue in Brief No. 14 Promoting the Health of Left-Behind Children
of Asian Labour Migrants: Evidence for Policy and Action Despite the political
discourse on migration becoming an important issue in the global development
agenda, the mental and physical health implications for left-behind children of
migrant workers have received less attention. The current evidence base on the
health impacts of labour migration, both for migrants and their families, also
remains weak. The health impact on families left behind is especially salient
for the majority of labour-sending nations that may lack adequate resources to
respond to broad public health outcomes linked to increased migration and its
cascading reverse impact.

Policy Brief Series Issue 4 | Vol. 1 | September 2015 Displacement due to
disasters is on the rise globally. The 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and
tsunami, followed by the Fukushima nuclear accident, displaced internally more
than 150,000 persons. Four years later, many of these evacuees remain
displaced, unable or hesitant to return home, due to radiological and social
consequences caused by the disaster.
Drawing on two research projects, this policy brief seeks to examine the case
of Fukushima evacuees, with special focus on the question of return, and
attempts to make policy recommendations specifically tailored for the nuclear
displacement. It explores ways in which genuine durable solutions can be found
for their case in line with international protection guidelines for internally
displaced persons.

Available for PDF download | | A Survey on Migration Policies in West
Africa In West Africa, the large majority of people move in the region. Now
this SouthSouth migration is seven times greater than migration flows from West
African countries to other parts of the world. Côte dIvoire, Ghana and Nigeria
have become important countries of destination hosting large numbers of
migrants who mostly migrated to work. This regional migration plays a crucial
role in promoting development and poverty reduction. It also contributes to the
regional integration process in West Africa and strengthens the Economic
Community of West African States (ECOWAS) established in 1975 which covers 5.1
million square kilometres and is composed of 15 Member States (Benin, Burkina
Faso, Cabo Verde, Côte dIvoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau,
Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo).

Afrique de lOuest La majorité des flux de populations en Afrique de lOuest est
intra régionale. En effet, cette migration Sud-Sud est sept fois plus
importante que les migrations de lAfrique de lOuest vers dautres régions du
monde. La Côte dIvoire, le Ghana et le Nigéria sont devenus dimportants pays
daccueil pour de nombreux migrants, et la plupart de ces migrations sont de
nature professionnelle. Ces flux migratoires intra régionaux jouent un rôle
essentiel dans le développement de lAfrique de lOuest et participent activement
à réduire la pauvreté. Ils contribuent aussi au processus dintégration
régionale, et renforcent la Communauté Economique des Etats de lAfrique de
lOuest (CEDEAO[1]), une organisation intergouvernementale fondée en 1975 qui
couvre aujourdhui 5.1 millions de km2. 2015 / 353 pages
