IOM: Evaluating the impact of information campaigns in the field of migration

The Central Mediterranean Route (CMR) Thematic Report Series, launched by IOM’s GMDAC, aims to provide accurate, comprehensive and policy-oriented information on key issues related to migration on the Central Mediterranean Route. The series is published as part of the “Safety, Support and Solutions” programme implemented by IOM, funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID). The programme’s main objective is to contribute to safer and more orderly migration along the CMR, resulting in fewer deaths and less suffering. The programme includes activities in ten countries – Algeria, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea, Libya, Mali, Morocco, Niger and Senegal. IOM’s GMDAC aims to disseminate information products to policymakers and other stakeholders on mobility dynamics and relevant topics along the CMR, with a view to improving knowledge and understanding of these and enabling actors to effectively manage emerging migration trends for the benefit of countries and migrants. Thematic reports such as this one will be regularly published throughout the programme period.
