Il progetto MAFE ha generato sondaggi multi-situati, comparativi e longitudinali effettuati in 3 paesi africani (Congo, Ghana, Senegal) e 6 paesi europei (Belgio, Francia, Italia, Spagna, Paesi Bassi, Regno Unito) offrendo una fonte unica di dati che consente ai ricercatori di studiare i modelli, le cause e le conseguenze della migrazione africana. I partner del progetto sono INED (Institut National d’Etudes Démographiques) di Parigi, UCL (Centre de Recherche en Démographie et Société, Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve), TSS (The Department of Technology and Society Studies of the University of Maastricht), IPDSR (Institut de formation et de recherche en population, développement et santé de la reproduction – University Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar), DSPD (Département des sciences de la population et du développement – Kinshasa University), CMS (Centre for Migration Studies – University of Ghana), il gruppo di ricerca socio-demografica del Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche e Sociali dell’Università Pompeu Fabra, il gruppo di ricerca sulle dinamiche demografiche, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas di Madrid, SCMR (Sussex Centre for Migration Research of the University of Sussex) e FIERI. Il progetto è stato finanziato nell’ambito del Settimo programma quadro di ricerca della Commissione europea e ha ricevuto il sostegno della AFD (Agence Française de Développement). FIERI è stato responsabile del Work Package 7 sull’integrazione economica e le traiettorie lavorative dei migranti in Europa, il loro contributo economico al paese di origine e il re-inserimento professionale nei paesi di origine. (rimesse, investimenti in attività, la partecipazione ad organizzazioni della città di provenienza). Tutti i materiali prodotti sono disponibili sul sito http://mafeproject.site.ined.fr/en/
