Migration, a Catalyst for Sustainable Development inAfrica’s Host and Home Countries
Abstract
The ECA Office for North Africa and Senegal’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs co-hosted a workshop (17–18 January 2024, Dakar) on migration’s role in Africa’s sustainable development. Attended by 50+ policymakers, the event explored strategies to maximize migrants’ contributions—through remittances, skills transfer, and South-South cooperation—while aligning with SDGs, Agenda 2063, and the Global Compact for Migration. Discussions emphasized inclusive policies to harness migration’s benefits for both origin and host countries, citing economic growth, poverty reduction, and regional integration. The workshop concluded a multi-country ECA initiative (2021–2023) on migration data and skills recognition in Africa.
