 One of the key objectives of this report is to understand better how we can harness the benefits of mobility for development and promote a more balanced and comprehensive understanding of African migration, which is too often portrayed in very negative terms, primarily in terms of South-North and irregular migration. And what this report shows is that there are significant numbers of people moving within Africa between different regions, between different countries, usually for work, and that that kind of migration is bringing significant benefits to countries of origin and destination.
