Quarterly Newsletter on Migration and Mobility, Volume 2

تشرين 1/أكتوبر 1, 2020 - 16:15

Dear representatives from Member States, RECs, and Partners,

It is with great joy that we the Department for Social Affairs, Labour Employment and Migration (LEM), have produced the second edition of the Quarterly Newsletter on Migration and Mobility. Despite the exceptional times induced by COVID-19 pandemic, the various departments contributing to migration and mobility policy streams within the AUC have remained very active in the areas of policy advice and capacity building to Member States and RECs. The AU Commission is cognizant that the ability of AU Member States and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) to capitalize on the opportunities that migration presents, and mitigate its negative impacts; and their ability to manage all aspects of migration and to engage with other continents that are destinations for African migrants, pre- supposes the presence of robust migration governance systems: the legal and policy frameworks and institutional arrangements for managing migration in a coherent manner.

In this issue, you will receive highlights on the migration governance training and on the launch of the migration and health program. This edition also offers highlights on key policies and programmes, namely the JLMP Three Year Priority Project, the Draft Policy Document on the Prevention of Trafficking in Persons in Africa and the AU Border Governance Strategy. Also included are briefs on the MPFA M&E Framework and the survey on the impact of COVID-19 on the collection of migration statistics in Africa.

Enjoy Reading!

Mme Cisse Mariama Mohamed, Director, Department of Social Affairs
