Migration is a complex phenomenon and individual choices are structured as much by perceptions as material realities. Aside from people fleeing for survival because of war, violence or natural disasters, it is difficult to identify single factors driving individuals to migrate. People’s mobility is often entangled in complex socioeconomic, political, personal and communal decisions, which altogether determine why, where and how people move. The present report reflects this narrative. It is informed by the continent’s demography, socioeconomics and political dynamics. Whereas much global debate about African migration focuses on those leaving the continent, the report pays primary attention to the far more important intra-African population flows. The report is forward-looking, offering concrete suggestions of what is currently available, including existing laws, regulations, policies and programmes related to African migration, with concrete recommendations of what should be done to implement progressive Africa-generated policies. It attempts to demystify stereotypes, but more importantly, to focus on evidence of what already exists in practice, policy and programming.
