 The study really is about improving the evidence on information and awareness raising campaigns for migrants. We did a systematic review a couple years back and we found that there's a lot of activity in this field but very few solid studies that look at the effects of those campaigns more rigorously. We partnered with the Migrants as Messages campaign in West Africa to now look at the effects of awareness raising more carefully. The Migrants as Messages campaign organized information events in Dakar, Senegal. Potential migrants were invited to watch a video about the experiences of migrants and their journeys and engage in peer-to-peer discussions with returning migrants on their experiences. The study found that participating in the information events in Dakar, Senegal actually increased the risk perception regarding irregular migration. It also reduced the intentions to want to migrate irregularly and then improved the positive perceptions of returners. Now this study is very unique because we use a randomized controlled trial. A randomized controlled trial is a very particular type of impact evaluation technique that is very rarely applied in practice and very tricky to implement. So we were happy that we could partner with the Migrants as Messages campaign to apply such approach. Conventional evaluation methods have severe limitations. We're happy to contribute one study to the evidence base, but this can of course only be a start. We looked at the effects of one particular awareness raising campaign on the intentions and perceptions of potential migrants in one particular place. Now we also have to study the effects of campaigns in other countries and in other settings. We also were just limited at looking at the effects at three months after participating in the event. In the future we should also look at the long term effects of being exposed to information and awareness raising materials.
