Abstract: Abstract Managing migrant supply networks is a critical issue both domestically and internationally. In this research, using a supply chain perspective, a typology is developed to provide recommendations for migration stakeholders. The typology can be used to assess factors within a migrant network including: pressure to migrate, the network agility, and the total cost of migration. The typology identifies specific investments that developmental agents can focus on to mitigate the pressure to migrate. In instances of genocide and other forms of forced migration, the model identifies ways stakeholders can support agile refugee flows to ensure faster and safer travel and to shorten transit times.
