Abstract
West Africa is a region of intense mobility, with approximately 90% of international migration occurring within the region. Using a translocal livelihood and mobility approach at the household level, this project examines the interlinkages between migrants’ places of origin and destination. Focusing on Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Nigeria, the study analyses rural-urban and cross-border migration dynamics and their social, political, and ecological implications, including land use change, gender relations, urban growth, and environmental pressures.
