The study highlighted the fact that: The vast majority of sex workers in Kedougou are young women, mainly coming from Nigeria ; Sex workers are a vulnerable group (due to their activities) with AIDS, particularly sex workers who are minors and not registered with the local health authorities (and cannot therefore benefit from any medical assistance) ; Condoms are almost systematically used with paying partners, but only 76% of the sex workers regularly use it with their non-paying partners ; The majority of sex workers is well informed about HIV and STIs ; The vast majority is able to obtain the services of prevention and care they need ; Many sex workers require protection services and social support, as well as other programs that address their needs. Fish farming in Beretoume, 2014 / IOM more than 31 year old: 10% less than 21 year old: 10% By generating sources of income, and through the establishment of joint committees, the project directly contributes to the improvement of the relations between Mauritanian local communities and Malian refugees.

4 At the initiative of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad, this visit was a good opportunity to share experiences within the framework of the project Capacity building for the strategic management of migrations in Togo and the diaspora, funded by the IDF. The purpose of these meetings was to promote migrants integration in their country of destination and to enhance their contribution to the economic development of their country of origin. This initiative also aims at encouraging the creation of a common framework for discussions on migrations between African countries. Indeed, Nigeria has a large Diaspora working in the health and education sectors across the globe, as observed through the earlier conducted mapping of Nigerians by IOM in the US, the United Kingdom and South Africa. The mapping will also assist the Nigerian National Volunteer Service in identifying Nigerians in the Diaspora who are willing to contribute their skills and competencies towards national development. 70% 60% 50% Workshop on the protection of migrant workers in Nigeria In partnership with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, a one day workshop took place in Abuja in July 2014, within the framework of the project Promoting better management of migration in Nigeria, funded by the EU. 40% 30% 20% 10% Male Female Its overall objective was to increase level of awareness amongst stakeholders on the importance and mechanisms for the protection of migrant workers in and from Nigeria.

The primary role of the social partners in the protection of migrant workers rights has been particularly highlighted.
