In 2022, Mercy Corps and the Immigration Policy Lab at Stanford University piloted the Planning for Productive Migration (PPM) program in the Tahoua region of Niger. PPM is a novel program designed to provide comprehensive job search support and facilitate safe, productive cross-border migration as a livelihoods strategy within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The pilot objectives were to test the PPM program content and implementation and key elements of the overall research design including measurement and migrant tracking. This report describes key learnings from this pilot which will be used to adapt the program content, implementation, and research design for a full-scale future randomized control trial to be implemented in the fall of 2023.
