Work Package 2 is entitled Field description: Country and region reports. It is coordinated by Koç University (Turkey) and runs from March to July 2010.
The outputs of this work package will be four country reports about the local (research) contexts of Morocco, Senegal, Turkey and Ukraine, and the four selected regions within each country. These reports will be based on secondary sources. Each Geographical Duo Team (GTD) authors a country report containing important descriptive information on the research themes of interest in relation to that country, namely: 1) The human rights and democracy situation; 2) The human rights institutions and activities; 3) Migration statistics (with sex segregated data when available) and 4) Emigration policy.
Gender aspects are given special attention throughout all reports. Sources to be consulted consist of academic literature, policy documents, international and local statistic databases, administrative information, etc. The local partners will provide the major input for this work package, yet reports will be authored jointly with one party taking the lead. These documents will subsequently inspire the further development of the fieldwork. Koç University coordinates the work for the four reports and guarantees that all reports follow a parallel content and structure. Towards the end of the period foreseen for WP2, Koç University organizes the second Consortium & Scientific & Policy Committee Meeting in Turkey. The four country reports will be published as Project Papers 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the project website in 2010.
