Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines policies and transnational efforts aimed at enhancing the availability and timeliness of data on migration from North and West Africa and across the Mediterranean. It argues that efforts to support evidence-based policymaking and programming are informed by changing policy priorities in migrants’ countries of origin, transit, and destination. The chapter further argues that research attention has tended to focus on the analysis of either shifts in transnational migration policies or migration-related trends based on newly available data, and less on how processes of policy negotiation and the production of evidence on migration interact. The chapter fills this gap by exploring how transnational efforts to improve data on migration in West and North Africa and across the Mediterranean have been interrelated with transnational policymaking processes, particularly in the migration policy context of Africa–EU relations.
