This Brief has a special focus on transit migration. Addressing the adverse drivers of transit migration will involve policy efforts to create economic opportunities and reduce conflict and fragility in migrants’ countries of origin. Opening more legal channels for migration to destination countries would also help reduce transit migration. Collaborative efforts among the origin country, the transit country, and the final destination country to control transit migration, however, should not violate free (intra-regional) movement of people under regional protocols. Respecting the human rights of transit migrants remain a policy priority. In situations where transit migrants stay on for protracted periods, there may be a need to provide access to education and health services, as well as to labor markets. For their part, origin countries need to empower embassies in transit countries to assist their nationals. Multilateral agencies can help the global community through the collection of data and also analytical and technical assistance in addressing the drivers of transit migration. They can also act as honest brokers to facilitate collaboration among the concerned parties. Multilateral development banks can also provide innovative financing solutions to transit countries. 2018-08-22T14:41:16Z 2018-08-22T14:41:16Z 2018-04 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/907921534404019026/Migration-and-remittances-recent-developments-and-outlook-transit-migration http://hdl.handle.net/10986/30280 English Migration and development brief,no. 29; Migration and Development Brief;No. 29 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief Africa East Asia and Pacific Europe and Central Asia Latin America & Caribbean Middle East and North Africa South Asia
