Abstract

The workshop aimed to support African countries in the formulation of their national migration policies and in particular to integrate migration into their national development strategies. This brief report provides highlights of discussion topics and the need for further analysis. Modelling of migration will require countries to provide information on their policies and problems regarding the issue. Social, gender, and cultural dimensions should be factored in so as to align the model with the complex realities of migration.
