“The
Economic Development in Africa Report 2018
underscores the integral role that well-managed migration
can play in addressing Africa’s development challenges.
African Governments should harness intra-African migration’s
unparalleled growth in order to maximize its benefts for
economic growth and structural transformation.”
Mr. Mukhisa Kituyi, Secretary-General of the United Nations
Conference on Trade and Development
“Addressing the challenge of
migration requires an innovative
approach that allows for
assessing causes, impact
and identifying solutions,
particularly by building synergies
between development and
migration policies. We must work
together to develop an African
agenda on the topic that would
articulate a common vision of
ways and means of dealing with
the question of migration within
our continent and in international
forums.”
King Mohammed VI of Morocco
“As Governments across the world
work towards a Global Compact for
Migration, this report offers important
economic and development insights
into the dynamics of intra-African
migration. It reinforces what we know
to be true of international migration
more broadly: that migrants make a
signifcant contribution to countries of
both origin and destination. Offering
clear policy guidance on how African
countries can harness migration
for transformative and sustainable
growth, it is an invaluable guide for
African policymakers, academics, and
the broader development community.”

Secretary-General of the United Nations
