From Information to Migration: Information Sharing in Third Countries and Its Significance for Legal Migration to Sweden
On September 1, 2025, Delmi began working on the AMIF-funded project “From Information to Migration: Information Sharing in Third Countries and Its Significance for Legal Migration to Sweden”. The project aims to strengthen knowledge about the opportunities and challenges related to the provision of information on legal migration in Iraq, Uzbekistan and Pakistan.
Despite several information campaigns in third countries about the risks of irregular migration, research has shown that such efforts risk being based on simplified assumptions about the causes of migration. An important starting point for Delmi's project is therefore to deepen and nuance knowledge about how information provision on legal migration is designed and implemented in third countries, and what opportunities and obstacles characterize this work in practice. This is done by focusing on organizations that offer information provision and advice to potential migrants in third countries.
The analysis focuses on three national contexts, Iraq, Uzbekistan and Pakistan, and is based on a qualitative, comparative approach to examine which organizational, contextual and policy-related factors promote and hinder the provision of information on legal migration.
The project is in line with the EU's Pact on Migration and Asylum, in particular the objective of strengthened cooperation with third countries to facilitate legal migration. Delmi expects to provide research results that can guide decision-makers and practitioners in the formation of future migration policy interventions with the aim of promoting the use of legal migration routes to Sweden.
The project is financed by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF)), an initiative supporting EU member states in their work of implementing common asylum and migration policies.
