MIGNEX: The Implications of (Mis)Managing Transit Migration
May 2023
Transit migration management is a major policy response to irregular migration in most destination countries. The (mis)management of transit migration can have consequences for countries of origin, transit and destination.
Samuel Hall conducted research with MIGNEX (Aligning Migration Management and the Migration–Development Nexus) a collaborative research effort to tackle the challenges of global migration with a long-term vision for better outcomes.
According to Samuel Hall’s findings, Tunisia's migration policies need to be more comprehensive in order to effectively manage migration and promote development. The report found that Tunisia's current migration policies are fragmented and lack a clear vision for how to manage migration in a way that benefits both Tunisia and its migrants.
The paper authored by Herve Nicolle recommends developing a comprehensive migration strategy that takes into account all aspects of migration, including economic, social, and security dimensions and strengthening the capacity of Tunisia's migration management institutions to effectively implement migration policies.
