      Joint African Union Commission- OECD Development Centre Press conference “Migration and job creation in Africa”

      Event
      Joint African Union Commission- OECD Development Centre Press conference “Migration and job creation in Africa”
      Jan 28, 2018 - 18:30

      Media invitation / 30th AU SUMMIT

      Joint African Union Commission- OECD Development Centre
      Press conference
      “Migration and job creation in Africa”

      The Press Conference will be addressed by Prof. Victor Harison, Commissioner of Economic Affairs of the African Union Commission (AUC); and
      Mario Pezzini, Director of the OECD Development Centre and Special Advisor to the OECD Secretary General on Development

      15h30, Sunday 28 January 2018
      African Union Commission Headquarters, Addis Ababa; Briefing Room 1

      Victor Harison and Mario Pezzini will discuss the findings of the latest OECD Development Centre-ILO report How Immigrants Contribute to Developing Countries' Economies and, more largely, the implementation of the African Union Commission’s 2063 Agenda at the regional and national level.

      Building on research conducted in the framework of the OECD Development Centre’s policy Dialogue on Migration and Development, the media event will highlight the importance of intra-African migration and of immigrants’ contribution to their African host country in three areas- labour market, economic growth and public finance.

      The AUC and the OECD Development Centre will also announce new areas of joint work, building on their longstanding cooperation, with a view to deepening high-level dialogue and co-operation on a citizen-driven, pan-African agenda of integration and transformation.

      JOURNALISTS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE AND COVER THE JOINT PRESS COFERENCE

      "Migration et création d'emplois en Afrique"

      Victor Harison, Commissaire aux affaires économiques de la Commission de l'Union Africaine (CUA)
      Mario Pezzini, Directeur du Centre de développement de l'OCDE et Conseiller spécial du Secrétaire général de l'OCDE pour le développement

      15h30, dimanche 28 janvier 2018

      Victor Harison et Mario Pezzini discuteront des conclusions du dernier rapport du Centre de développement de l'OCDE et de l’OIT sur La contribution des immigrants aux économies des pays en développement et, plus largement, de la mise en œuvre de l'Agenda 2063 de la Commission de l’Union Africaine aux niveaux régional et national.

      S'appuyant sur les recherches menées dans le cadre du dialogue politique du Centre de développement de l'OCDE sur les migrations et le développement, l’évènement médiatique soulignera l'importance des migrations intra-africaines et la contribution des immigrants à leur pays d'accueil africain dans trois domaines: le marché du travail, la croissance économique et les finances publiques.

      La CUA et le Centre de développement de l'OCDE annonceront également de nouveaux domaines de travaux conjoints, s'appuyant sur leur coopération de longue date, en vue d’intensifier le dialogue et la coopération à haut niveau sur le programme panafricain axé sur les citoyens d’intégration et de transformation.
