MIGNEX Case Study Brief (original) (raw)

The MIGNEX Case Study Brief explores the socio-economic dynamics of Dialakoro, a rapidly growing rural sub-prefecture in Guinea, with a focus on migration patterns and their interplay with local development. The study reveals that agriculture remains the predominant occupation, while small-scale gold mining is gaining traction despite community concerns. Migration traditions to neighboring countries persist, but opportunities for international migration are limited. Poor infrastructure and the lack of collective remittances hinder community development, emphasizing the need for sustainable investment and infrastructural maintenance.
