Abstract
The Maghreb Action on Displacement and Rights (MADAR) Network Plus is a regional approach to protection in contexts of conflict and displacement in central Maghreb (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia). MADAR deploys an interdisciplinary approach, a wide range of regional and national research expertise, and established and equitable partnerships with civil society organisations to respond to the complex protection needs of refugees and other displaced people in the region.
Maghreb is an important migration hub with links to Africa, the Middle East and Europe. While it is often assumed to be a region of emigration and transit (South-North), the Maghreb is increasingly a destination, including for thousands of displaced people fleeing conflict and endemic poverty in countries across Africa and the Middle East (e.g. Syria and Libya). Europe relies heavily on the cooperation of its neighbours south of the Mediterranean Sea to manage and curb migration in an attempt to reduce arrivals on European shores. In the case of Maghreb, states are not equipped to deal with the increasing number of displaced people; they have inadequate infrastructures to ensure the humanitarian protection of those who are vulnerable, the rights of displaced people are routinely infringed, and relationships with host populations are often fraught. As a consequence, Maghreb hosts a large number of vulnerable displaced people at risk and in need of protection.
MADAR (Arabic for 'path') responds to SDG16 to: "Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels". MADAR addresses issues faced by Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia to make a transformational impact on the humanitarian protection of vulnerable, displaced people across the Maghreb region. Through interdisciplinary, challenged-led and solution-focused research MADAR aims to:
1) Facilitate interdisciplinary research collaborations drawing on the regional expertise of UK and Maghreb-based scholars from across the arts and humanities and the social and political sciences.
2) Foster partnerships amongst research institutes in the Maghreb and beyond (e.g. MENA) through MADAR's commissioned, high-impact research projects across the region.
3) Promote research-focused partnerships, developing and sharing best practice amongst academics, activists, artists, and practitioners working on displacement.
4) Identify measures to overcome barriers and enhance access for displaced people to healthcare, education, and employment opportunities.
5) Inform policies, legislation and practices on asylum and migration and promote effective institutional frameworks to support displaced people.
6) Collaborate with civil society organisations in tackling the region-specific causes of racism and xenophobia across the Maghreb to develop strategies for lobbying, advocacy and awareness-raising.
MADAR's research findings will contribute to reducing risk and improving protection for displaced people in the Maghreb. It will shape and influence national and regional policies and practices that stimulate and facilitate protection for displaced people in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia respectively. In addition, given its geographical focus, MADAR will generate knowledge which will affect and impact neighbouring regions and beyond.
MADAR's key benefit is enhanced protection for people at risk in the contexts of conflict and displacement in the Maghreb. It will also strengthen the research capacity of scholars in the Maghreb region and beyond. MADAR's sustainable partnership with CSOs in the Maghreb will build capacity and enrich relationships and networks across the region.

Planned Impact
MADAR aims to directly impact the lives of those affected by displacement and to enhance the research and advocacy capacity of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the Maghreb and other South-South displacement contexts, especially LMIC countries bordering the Global North (e.g. Turkey, Mexico etc.). Drawing on expertise from across the arts and humanities and the social and political sciences, and from partnerships with CSOs, MADAR will generate evidence-based solutions to the diverse and gendered protection challenges facing displaced people across the Maghreb. Co-designed and co-delivered with our partners in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, MADAR will have implications for direct beneficiaries (i.e. institutions and individuals directly involved in MADAR Network Plus activities) and indirect beneficiaries (i.e. those who are not directly involved in MADAR Network Plus activities but will benefit from MADAR's outcomes):
1. DISPLACED PEOPLE IN MOROCCO, ALGERIA, AND TUNISIA. MADAR will generate positive societal impacts by commissioning research to address the challenges of how to effectively affirm protective rights and mitigate harm to vulnerable, conflict-induced internally displaced people, refugees and asylum seekers in the Maghreb. Displaced people directly involved in MADAR activities and funded research projects will benefit from opportunities to contribute to designing effective solutions to the challenges they face. Displaced people across the Maghreb will benefit indirectly from improvements to protection practices and policies that are informed by MADAR research conducted across the region. Displaced people across the Maghreb will benefit indirectly from improved community relations as a result of the touring/online exhibition and complementary outreach activities that aim to increase awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by displaced people and to improve attitudes and discourses amongst wider publics towards displaced people in the region.
2. MADAR PROJECT PARTNERS AND OTHER CSOs WORKING ON CONFLICT AND DISPLACEMENT ACROSS THE MAGHREB. MADAR Project Partner CSOs will benefit directly from the enhancement of their organisational culture and research and advocacy capacity through the co-design and co-delivery of MADAR. MADAR Project Partners and other CSO practitioner participants in MADAR activities (e.g. advocates, human rights and humanitarian organisations, and lobbyists) will benefit directly from enhanced capacity to support displaced communities, developed through training workshops and networking activities designed to foster sustainable cross-sector partnerships amongst researchers and practitioners. More generally, CSOs and individual practitioners working on conflict and displacement across the Maghreb will benefit indirectly from enhanced research and advocacy capacity to support displaced communities through MADAR's handbook on protection in contexts of displacement in the Maghreb region.
3. POLICY AND OTHER DECISION-MAKERS ACROSS THE MAGHREB AND BEYOND. Relevant policy-makers and state bodies in each of the Maghreb countries (i.e. Parliamentary working groups on migration and Ministries of the Interior and of Migration), international institutions with a presence in the Maghreb (e.g. IOM and UNHCR), and relevant institutions beyond the Maghreb (African Union, European Union Commission, and UK FCO, DfID, and All-Party Parliamentary Group on migration and refugees) will benefit from multilingual, up-to-date, evidence-based research findings (in the form of country-specific policy briefs) to inform changes in practice, policy, and legislation (e.g. anti-racism, asylum, and migration) at the local, national, and transnational levels.

| Title | Creative unlimited CU+ trailer |
| Description | Creatives Unlimited -CU" is a holistic initiative that joins the efforts of different actors involved in the themes of migration and displacement, be it from academia, art, culture, education and social sciences. The research-creation-action project brought together artists from host and displaced vulnerable communities to co-create a common multidisciplinary performance (music, visual arts, urban dance) that promotes common positive values such as cohesion, mutual understanding, inclusion & diversity. Creatives Unlimited-CU addressed issues of vulnerability in all its forms on migrant routes and in host countries (Tunisia and Maghreb countries) and forms of exclusion (racism, xenophobia, etc.) through the prism of gender and on the experiences of artists, displaced people, women and gender minorities. 30 artists from 12 different countries worked together ( Gabon, Congo, Cote d'ivoire, Ghana, Angola) during 6 months, on a collective performance, called "Home: The world" inspired by the poem of Warsan Shire ( British- Somali poet) |
| Type Of Art | Film/Video/Animation |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Impact | The development of the performance has created an opportunity to author a collective artwork- in- progress with the larger public in Tunisia. Creatives Unlimited has contributed to shaping the preconceived perceptions around arts, culture and the role of migrant artists in economic and social development. This was done by providing a space for artist migrants to share their experiences and capacities and convey them in an artistic manner. The performance/project has also led to the consolidation of a network of young creatives and has ensured decent creative work and income opportunities. |

| Description | MADAR launched in 2020 and for its first two years faced significant challenges (like many other research projects) in conducting research in the field and in strengthening its team on the ground. Despite its trying start, MADAR has managed to deliver on its initial plans and aims and we have a number of research findings across the Central Maghreb Region. - Morocco: Our work in Morocco entailed study of the public policies on migration as well as the existing Moroccan legislation on the reception and integration of migrants and refugees, the protection of their rights and how these policies are implemented and perceived on the ground. Results suggest that nearly 90% of the migrants interviewed are not aware of Moroccan public policies on migration or components of the "National Strategy for Immigration and Asylum" (NSIA); equally, it signalled that most local officials allegedly implementing NSIA are unaware of its policies. The study also aimed to disseminate knowledge among research users and practitioners about existing policies and legislations to influence a coherent approach to the protection of rights and avoid harm to displaced people. Another study has provided new insights into the exploration of migration in Morocco, with a particular focus on the range of actors and organisations providing support and help to migrant people. As a scoping study, the project also outlined a number of important issues to shape future research on the topic. Further work has involved an action research project on migration in Morocco, which has resulted in further exploration and research around the use of alternative language among migrants within the migration context in Morocco. These findings will contribute to the economic development and welfare of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia and address challenges faced by these countries by: identifying measures to overcome barriers and enhance access for displaced people to healthcare, education, and employment opportunities; informing policies, legislation and practices on asylum and migration and promoting effective institutional frameworks to support displaced people. A further research-action project in Morocco included a study into Moroccans' perception of Sub-Saharan migrants. With a sample of 50 Moroccans, across various Moroccan cities, the findings from the research suggests that Moroccans' attitudes towards Sub-Saharan migrants are influenced by a combination of factors, including behaviour, economic activities, and to a lesser extent, religious considerations. This research has led to a set of policy recommendations and the results were incorporated as part of an awareness-raising creative output. - Algeria: In Algeria, members of the MADAR's team of researchers carried out a multidisciplinary and cross-sector study which engaged with 500 sub-Saharan migrant women - in Oran and Bechar - about access to health care and prevention. Preliminary results highlight key areas of concern including: - Destitution: 69% of the women interviewed in Bechar stated they slept on the street; only 3% of the women work; 87% of female migrants have no resources to live; - Access to health: Barriers to accessing care: financial (49.40%); feeling of discrimination and racism (20.48%); some caregivers associate "migrant women" with AIDS; - Sexual Violence & Abortion: 3 women out of 10 have been victim of sexual violence (33.60%); of the 200 women who declared having had abortions, 15% had recourse to an induced abortion. In this ambitious study, the team has also compiled a comprehensive set of recommendations for health authorities and advocacy/aid practitioners. Another project focused on migrants' integration in Algeria's informal economy. Based on qualitative interviews with 24 migrants and 9 stakeholders (local representatives, CSOs, employers), findings show that: the main sectors recruiting in the formal economy are services and physical labour; women have more difficulty integrating the informal economy; employers would like to be able to register their informal employees formally so that they have access to social security. The study also gathered data about the reasons migrants left their countries of origin and about the difficult journeys they faced. The project is still ongoing, and the project team is drawing on the collected data to develop a set of policy recommendations for the better protection of vulnerable migrant workers. - Tunisia: In Tunisia, MADAR grantees produced, through qualitative and quantitative data collection, a unique database on migrant/refugee livelihoods. The research revealed that Sousse, third-biggest city in the country and home to around 240,000 people, stands out as a centre for foreign students and, more recently, a sanctuary for migrants who have encountered violence and discrimination elsewhere in Tunisia. It highlights key areas of concern: the dangerous journeys of migrants travelling irregularly, especially women; the risk of experiencing exploitation and human trafficking; the difficulty in integrating the formal economy; the lack of clear pathway to residency permits, keeping migrants in precarious and insecure conditions; an almost universal need among migrants for assistance, especially economic assistance. These findings were compounded in a detailed policy brief, with clear actionable recommendations. Another study focused on racism and vulnerability and highlighted through an ethnographic field survey the various forms of violence and racialisation that Sub-Saharan migrants face in Tunisia. During this field work, Tunisia saw several political developments, which were directly relevant to the issue of racism and violence. Researchers report a tightening of regulations and borders and a crackdown on civil society organisations who support migrants. The team interviewed migrants, Tunisians and representatives from NGOs and organisations. The findings from this study formed the basis of an in-depth research report, which highlights a process of exacerbation of migrants' vulnerability. Some of the team has been working over the years in zones of conflicts: the border between Morocco and Algeria has been officially closed for almost 30 years; MADAR's work is often carried out in dangerous and difficult access to fieldsites; migration is a controversial subject and this becomes even more challenging when working in unstable and volatile geographical contexts. |
| Exploitation Route | We will use recommendations from the studies to inform policies and practices regionally and across the three countries MADAR has worked in (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco) and have a dissemination and engagement plan with key stakeholders. We envisage the new knowledge generated from the research will also be taken up by researchers and research users. |

| Description | Although the grant is still active, we are beginning to see emerging impacts in three key areas: - Cultural impacts: several of the projects funded by the MADAR network have supported artists, economically and through career development, and fostered creativity in local communities. We anticipate further impacts in this area as artistic and creative products continue to be disseminated. - Societal impacts: several projects have put emphasis on awareness-raising and created outputs that would advance this goal (booklets, documentaries, podcasts). Two projects have been particularly impactful in this area, both led by Racines aisbl: 'Boza!' (Work Package) and 'Elephant in the Mediterranean' (Large Grant). With an emphasis on research-action, the audience (general public) targeted by the outputs from these two projects (a documentary and a sculpture) has reported a change in views and opinions. This data was informally gathered, in discussions with the audience, and not unanimous but regular enough to indicate a significant impact. We anticipate further impacts in this area: Racines' work continues, while other projects are beginning to disseminate their awareness-raising outputs. - Policy and public services impacts: the MADAR projects have gathered valuable data and developed key recommendations to address the gaps in access to public services and the shortcomings of existing policies. While this emerging area of impact is especially on-going, partners and affiliates have been feeding these recommendations both formally and informally to national and EU policy-makers. We anticipate further impacts in this area and we have developed country-specific policy briefs and a regional policy overview to further strengthen our policy-influencing efforts. |

| Collaborator Contribution | 'Empowerment of women in vulnerable situations in Bechar and Oran' is an action-research project, which aimed to improve the health of women in vulnerable situations and facilitate access to income-generating activities for women in vulnerable situations. This Large Grant project was not completed. It ended early in May 2024, due to the passing of APCS's president, followed by a difficult transition phase for the association. However, the team generated important new data, contributing to a better understanding of the needs of vulnerable women migrants. This data will be highlighted in an article-in-progress. The training of community relays also reinforced the local capacity to support these women. |
