General Background

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is mandated to lead and coordinate international action to protect and assist displaced people around the world and to help find durable solutions for them. Set up in 1950, UNHCR has since helped tens of millions of people forced to flee their homes to escape war or persecution. Today, over 16,700 people are working in 138 countries, as the number of displaced people worldwide – 68.5 million in 2017 – is at the highest level since the establishment of the Agency. Among them are nearly 25.4 million refugees, over half of whom are under the age of 18. There are also an estimated 10 million stateless people who have been denied a nationality and access to basic rights such as education, healthcare, employment and freedom of movement.

West Africa has always been a place of significant mobility and mixing of populations. Over the years, most countries in the region having become countries of origin, transit and/or destination of mixed population movements, which include refugees, asylum-seekers, stateless persons and persons at risk of statelessness. The increased scope and complexity of the movements have created severe protection risks for persons within these flows, both within West Africa and en route to Europe, including documented arbitrary and prolonged detention in inhumane conditions, torture, extra-judicial killings, SGBV, extortion, trafficking and other forms of exploitation and serious abuses, which women and unaccompanied/separated minors are particularly exposed to.

Sound data and analysis, including on profiles and protection risks and incidents, is essential to design appropriate protection responses. The irregular nature of movements and routes hampers systematic information and trends tracking, while several regional data collection initiatives provide indicative qualitative and quantitative data on mixed movements in certain countries and regions. Effective information and data management at the regional and field levels is essential for sound operational planning and programming. With the increased prominence of mixed movements in UNHCR’s work, UNHCR Regional Representation for West Africa (RRWA) is temporally strengthening its Information Management capacity in the field of Mixed Movements to support, regionally and at country levels, the identification of persons of concern to UNHCR within mixed flows, coordination with stakeholders and establishment of good data management practices when responding to mixed movements situations.
