BACKGROUND
In February 2018, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) established the Mixed Migration Centre (MMC). MMC brings together various existing regional initiatives – hosted or led by DRC – engaged in data collection, research, analysis and policy development on mixed migration issues into a new global network of mixed migration expertise. The MMC is a leading source for independent and high-quality data, information, research and analysis on mixed migration. MMC aims to support agencies, policy makers and practitioners to make well-informed decisions, to positively impact global and regional migration policies, to contribute to protection and assistance responses for people on the move and to stimulate forward thinking in the sector responding to mixed migration. Read more about the MMC here: www.mixedmigration.org.
DRC and MMC aim to establish an MMC hub in Tunisia, focusing on the North African region as part of the global MMC network which also includes regional hubs in West Africa, East Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
North Africa is characterized by fast-evolving and complex population movements. Many countries in the region are countries of origin, destination and transit at the same time. People on the move from various regions, including West Africa, East Africa and the Middle East, arrive in various North African countries including Libya, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, either to stay and look for work or transit onwards across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. The countries play an increasingly important role in relation to the European Union’s attempts to control the movement of refugees and migrants to Europe. A growing evidence base points to the dire conditions and violence that face many refugees and migrants in the region, including those in detention in Libya.
Since 2016, DRC/MMC have been implementing the Mixed Migration Monitoring Mechanism initiative (4Mi) in Libya, which is now about to start up in Tunisia as well. 4Mi collects data through in-depth structured interviews, identifying protection risks, conditions, experiences and trends faced by people on the move. 4Mi fills information gaps around protection and vulnerabilities with a view to informing policy and humanitarian programmatic response as well as enhancing sector understanding and knowledge on migration dynamics.
MMC aims to provide a comprehensive regional, as well as cross-regional understanding of mixed migration dynamics across the African continent. It therefore aims to expand the current focus on Libya and the 4Mi project and establish a regional MMC hub, similar to the already existing hubs in Amman, Dakar and Nairobi.
To lead this process, DRC/MMC is recruiting a manager for MMC North Africa.
