Addis Ababa, 26 February 2021 (ECA) - Policymakers attending the meeting that discussed the partnerships for a free and regulated movement of people in Africa called for stronger collaboration between relevant institutions and governments to address the problems of migrant workers on the continent.
Speaking at the meeting held on 25 February, Ms Thokozile Ruzvidzo, Director of the Gender Poverty and Social Policy Division at ECA said that creating a sustainable environment where African citizens can move inside the continent would not only create the highly needed jobs but also would attract the high levels of trade and development.
“African migrants’ destinations are overwhelmingly not to Europe or North America, but to each other’s countries, said Ms Ruzvidzo. “Between 2000 and 2020 the number of inter-Africa migrants in Africa increased from 15 million to 25 million across Africa”, she stressed.
