Descripción del proyecto
Comprensión de la conectividad de los refugiados
En todo el mundo, más de dieciséis millones de personas desplazadas han vivido en el exilio durante largos períodos de tiempo, sin perspectivas de retorno, reasentamiento o integración local. Aunque sufren un desplazamiento prolongado, la mayoría no están indefensos. Muchos refugiados y desplazados internos pueden recurrir al apoyo de redes transnacionales y locales. El proyecto TRAFIG, financiado con fondos europeos, realiza investigaciones empíricas comparativas en campos de refugiados, ciudades y zonas rurales de África, Asia y Europa, con el objetivo de responder las cuestiones siguientes: ¿Cómo abordan las personas desplazadas el complejo régimen de asilo y ayudas? ¿Cómo subsisten los refugiados en situaciones prolongadas de incertidumbre? ¿Cómo afectan las redes transnacionales a la vida y las oportunidades de futuro de los refugiados? ¿Cómo interactúan las personas desplazadas y las comunidades de acogida? ¿Cuáles son los mayores efectos económicos del desplazamiento? El objetivo fundamental del proyecto es apoyar el desarrollo de soluciones alternativas al desplazamiento prolongado.
Objetivo
TRAFIG introduces a novel perspective on protracted displacement situations (PDS) that will improve the protection and resilience of refugees and enhance trust and cooperation between refugees and host communities. It considers the transnational and local connectivity of displaced people and host communities as well as their capability of mobility as socioeconomic and socio-psychological resources that displaced people use and upon which their resilience relies. The project will develop a rapid assessment tool to identify the most vulnerable groups in PDS and to analyse interactions between displaced and host communities. As an evidence-based tool for creating impact, it will support policymakers and practitioners to enhance the self-reliance of displaced people as well as host-refugees relations through tailored programming and policy development. We closely cooperate with key stakeholders throughout the entire life cycle of the project. Our research is based on a novel concept of transnational figurations of displacement that combines the figuration model – a meso-level approach emphasizing the networks of interdependent human beings – with the transnationalism approach and state-of-the-art knowledge on forced displacement. Through comparative empirical research, both qualitative and quantitative, in camps and urban settings at sites in Asia, Africa, and Europe, TRAFIG will answer the following questions: (1) How do displaced people gain access to and make use of humanitarian and migration policies and programmes? (2) Why and how do displaced people live in vulnerable situations and sustain their livelihoods? How can policy support their self-reliance? (3) How do transnational networks shape refugees’ experiences and trajectories? (4) Which processes structure relations between displaced people and host communities? (5) What are the medium and long-term economic impacts of PDS?
