ABSTRACT
This chapter draws together the book's central themes and considers the broader implications of the book's central argument in light of current scholarly works in anthropology, development studies, and migration studies. Informal actors and practices are central to the various challenges safe migration programmes face through formal aid delivery. As such, informal practices and brokerage underpin formal safe migration programmes. Yet, the brokered nature of safe migration aid delivery renders safety highly precarious, although aid organisations’ programmatic trust in formal interventions is maintained.
