International audienceThis paper explores the link between return migration and political outcomes in the origin country, using the case study of Mali. We use electoral and census data at the locality level to investigate the role of return migration on participation rates and electoral competitiveness. First, we run OLS and IV estimations for the 2009 municipal election, controlling for current emigration and using historical and distance variables as instruments for return migration and current emigration. Second, we build a panel dataset combining the 1998 and 2009 censuses and the electoral results for the municipal ballots of those two years to control for the potential time-invariant unobservable characteristics of the localities. We find a positive impact of the stock of return migrants on participation rates and on electoral competitiveness, which mainly stems from returnees from non-African countries. Finally, we show that the impact of returnees on turnout goes beyond their own participation, and that they affect more electoral outcomes in areas where non-migrants are poorly educated, which we interpret as evidence of a diffusion of political norms from returnees to non-migrants

“…To develop an economic project, the migrant promoter, besides being motivated and educated, needs infrastructures, regulated markets, capital and large public investments. The context becomes overdetermining for the promoter and exceeds their involvement: projects require reforms at all levels and a social, economic and management policy, all too often little practiced” (Ndione and Lombard, : 191). The result is that those who undertake a return and, above all, those who apply to productive return programmes, are truly a minority, as occurred with the Cucayo Fund, both throughout Ecuador and in the three provinces that are the object of our analysis.…”

Migration, Productive Return and Human Capital: Lessons from the new Governmental Policy on Migration in Ecuador

In 2008, the Government of Ecuador initiated a programme for productive return dubbed the Cucayo Fund, aimed at financing small businesses for migrants who were returning to the country. This programme has been a cornerstone in the new governmental policy on migration. In 2015, the IOM considered it an exemplary practice among the instruments enabling the economic and social reinsertion of returning migrants. In this article, based on the mining and analysis of the implementation data from the Cucayo Fund in the three provinces comprising Administrative Region No 7, we specifically examine the incidence of human capital accumulated by the migrants in the success of their ventures. Our results show that the experience and knowledge attained by the migrants abroad, and transfer of these to new activities, play a key and relevant role in the financed ventures and that, therefore, human capital must be incorporated with greater emphasis into debates on return.

“…L'expérience acquise dans le secteur s'avère capitale pour investir le créneau. Chez les migrants maliens rentrés dans la région de Kayes au début des années 2000 et ayant investi dans le transport (Ndione et Lombard, 2004), ceux qui ont réussi maîtrisaient parfaitement les rapports sociaux, syndicaux et politiques du « milieu » local du transport ; ils connaissaient la mécani-que et appréhendaient correctement le marché. Souvent, ils exerçaient la profession de chauffeur ou de transporteur avant de partir en migration.…”

Résumé Évolution des transports et mobilités africaines sont liées. Les flux migratoires d’Africains de l’Ouest prennent en Afrique des formes variées et bénéficient de l’amélioration des systèmes de transport internationaux. Par l’édification de territoires nations, les États constituent les premiers organisateurs des mobilités africaines. Les migrants, individuellement et collectivement, sont aussi acteurs de leur propre mobilité, à différentes échelles. Dans les pays d’accueil, de transit ou d’origine, les migrants interviennent dans le fonctionnement du transport et contribuent au rapprochement des cultures et des façons de faire.
