NOVAFRICA Migration Research Surveys
NOVAFRICA / IRD (France) / European Commission
Overview
The INFOMIGTRAIN project, funded by the European Commission, investigated the role of information in shaping migration decisions among young Gambians. 2M Corp was engaged to conduct data collection for this multi-phase research project.
The end-line household survey visited approximately 3,800+ previously interviewed households using a CAPI system with offline data capture. Multiple field teams comprising around 28 enumerators, supervisors, and drivers conducted approximately one month of intensive fieldwork. In parallel, a phone survey component targeted approximately 1,800+ youth with up to 10 contact attempts per respondent and proxy surveys when unavailable.
Electronic questionnaires were designed for 60-minute in-person interviews and 25-minute phone interviews. Cleaned Stata datasets with variable and value labels and codebooks were delivered for both modalities.
Impact
The data contributed to the evidence base on migration dynamics in West Africa, supporting rigorous analysis of how information interventions affect migration decisions — with findings relevant to policymakers across the region.
