ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter recalls the questions that guided the book: what are Nigerian women’s subjective experiences as N.A.Ve’s beneficiaries? What are practitioners’ experiences with Nigerian women? What factors contribute, in their view, to positive trajectories, and what are the difficulties experienced with this specific target group? To what extent are there tensions between Nigerian women’s biographical times and practitioners’ institutional times? What insights do they give us on programme and institutional cultures? The chapter will then look into the future and recommend: a higher coordination across programme phases, to avoid losing sight of beneficiaries’ individual trajectories; increased integration of the anti-trafficking, asylum, and welfare systems; improved involvement of beneficiaries through the experimentation of peer-support and similar initiatives; continuous engagement in research to look at the long-term trajectories of beneficiaries and to contextualise risks and conditions.
