Quarterly Newsletter On Migration and Mobility Vol.2

Dear representatives from Member States, RECs, and Partners,
It is with great joy that we the Department for Social Affairs, Labour Employment
and Migration (LEM), have produced the second edition of the Quarterly Newsletter on Migration and Mobility. Despite the exceptional times induced by COVID-19 pandemic, the various departments contributing to migration and mobility policy streams within the AUC have remained very active in the areas of policy advice and capacity building to Member States and RECs. The AU Commission
is cognizant that the ability of AU Member States and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) to capitalize on the
opportunities that migration presents, and mitigate its negative impacts; and their ability to manage all aspects of migration and to engage with other continents that are destinations for African migrants, pre- supposes the presence of robust migration governance systems: the legal and policy frameworks and institutional arrangements for managing migration in a coherent manner.
