NGO SUPPORT AND REINTEGRATION EFFORTS FOR RETURNEES IN THE GAMBIA
Returnees are not a new phenomenon in the Gambia. Thousands of young Gambians, lured by the promise of a better life in oversees, embark on dangerous journeys through the Sahara Desert and Mediterranean Sea, often falling victim to all forms of abuse, such as child trafficking, labor exploitation, sex trafficking, brain-drain, sudden death, and disappearance through the backway or illegal means. Upon their return, they often face a new challenge: reintegrating into a society that has changed while they were away. This study examines the extend at which the NGOs had supported or addressed reintegrating or re-cooperating of the returnees in the Gambia. Interviews will be conducted with NGO representatives, policymakers, diasporas and the returnees to gather in-depth information on the successes, challenges, and best practices on reintegration process. This study reveal that the issue of returnees should be treated as a national challenge in which there is need for holistic approaches.
