The demand for country-of-origin experts with hands-on fieldwork experience, qualitative research skills, and specialized knowledge of Sub-Saharan Africa is growing. In contested immigration cases, these experts play a crucial role, as their insights can be the key to the success or failure of refugee and asylum claims. Their expertise is essential for courts in three main ways: first, by providing detailed information about country-specific cultural practices, policies, laws, or attitudes; second, by analyzing the applicant's declaration to either confirm or challenge its consistency with the expert’s understanding of the country’s conditions; and third, by offering an opinion on the applicant's "fear of return" and the potential consequences if they are sent back to their home country.
