Ce rapport est composé d’un ensemble d’infographies et de cartes des différentes tendances migratoires au Mali. Il traite d’un grand nombre des mouvements de population recensés depuis, vers et au sein du territoire malien et dresse une vue générale des populations en mouvements.  

Plusieurs types de mobilités sont traitées sur ce document: les mouvements économiques internes ou vers l’étranger, les transhumances, les déplacements internes forcés, les retours, etc.  Il est intéressant de remarquer que, très souvent, ces différentes mobilités se croisent. Ce rapport tente de faire ce lien (par exemple entre la migration vers les sites d’orpaillage et la migration vers le Nord du Mali) mais de plus amples recherches seraient nécessaires afin de mieux saisir ces dynamiques. 

Ce rapport est le résultat d’une compilation de diverses bases de données et rapports provenant de différentes sources d’informations qui sont indiquées dans chacune des pages dans l’encadré « Détails et Sources ». Certaines informations et tracés sont également tirés de discussions avec des informateurs clés.
