Conflict and violence remain the main drivers of displacement and movements in sub-Saharan Africa in 2022, exacerbated by increasing climate shocks and hazards, according to a new report by the International Organisation for Migration and the African Union Commission .
Prolonged drought in the Horn of Africa and severe seasonal flooding across the continent evidently led to record internal displacements in 2022, adding to the fact that many African countries experienced conflict and climate events at the same time. Since 2010, the number of migrant workers in Africa has increased by 53%. Migrants from West, Central, Southern, and East Africa predominantly reside in neighboring African nations, highlighting the significance of return migration within Africa, particularly in countries sharing land borders.
The report also points out the need for governments to commit to safeguarding the welfare of migrants and to coordinate migration related policies across Africa. Many of these policies fall under the auspices of the ‘Revised Migration Policy Framework for Africa’ adopted in 2018 as a framework to guide African Union Member States and regional economic communities in the management of migration.
