This work consisted of carrying out 36 in-depth qualitative interviews with UNHCR, NGOs (reception staff and legal advice), officials in charge of processing asylum and refuge applications (OAR and immigration police) and asylum/refugee applicants mainly. of the Sahel. The interviews have been carried out in the Canary Islands (Tenerife and Gran Canaria), Andalusia (Algeciras and Seville) and Madrid.
The interviews were anonymized, transcribed, and coded, following the protocol of the UNED Ethics Committee, which has given its VB to the scripts and informed consents.
Between June 2024 and December 2024, the preliminary results were presented at 10 national and international conferences (see Dissemination of Results).
In November 2024, the preliminary project report was presented at an internal seminar before three external discussants.
In February 2025, the project report was published, including the comments and contributions received.
Currently, work is being done on the publication of a book (with Marcial Pons publishing house) and several academic articles in indexed journals.
