The MIGRAWARE project, one of six (6) projects implemented under the WASCAL Research Action Plan (WRAP 2.0) is a project with funding from the German Ministry of Education (BMBF) and administered by the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL), aims to identify and analyze historical, current and future migration movements in West Africa. This analysis will be carried out against the backdrop of the diversity of drivers of migration. These include economic, social, political and demographic factors, but also environmental factors such as climate change. This is seen as an important aspect in migration decisions. Changing rainfall patterns lead to growing challenges and in particular to increasing food and fodder insecurity.
