This case study report generally investigates the experiences of nationals of Burkina Faso, Ghana and Liberia during and after the Ivorian crises with a focus on key actors who participated in the provision of evacuation, return and reintegration assistance and returnees’ re-integration experiences in origin countries. The report on Côte d’Ivoire presents the results of one case study among six of the Research Component of the four-year project ‘Migrants in Countries in Crisis: Supporting an Evidence-based Approach for Effective and Cooperative State Action’, which provides policy-relevant analysis of the implications of crises in host countries.
