Rural Africa in motion. Dynamics and drivers of migration South of the Sahara. Rome, FAO and CIRAD. 60 p.nnnnn Foreword This Atlas “Rural Africa in motion” is produced in a context where the challenges associated with large movements of refugees and migrants risk to mask the benefits of migration and its positive aspects. It is important to restate that migration is part of the development process and, as such, migrants have shaped the world we live in. In 2015, the stock of people migrated across international borders reached 244 million. However, des- pite public perception, the largest share of migrants, about 763 million according to the latest estimates, move within their own countries, to cities or to other rural locations. Circular and seasonal migration are also typical features of migration facilitated by improved communication and transportation networks. In 2016, the number of forcibly displaced persons reached an all-time high figure of 66 million people worldwide. More than 5 million refugees were located in sub-Saharan African countries. Around 15 percent of all international migrants are originating from Africa. In 2015, their number reached nearly 33 million, half of which migrated within the continent. However, in sub-Saharan Africa, most of the migration (70%) is taking place within Africa, and is likely to remain as such in the future. These migratory movements have been prompted by a complex and intertwined array of factors. People migrate to improve their livelihoods and in search of a better future. They move to escape poverty, food insecurity, lack of employment opportunities, as well as ethnic, gender and other forms of discrimination and marginalization. A growing number of forcibly displaced people leave their homes to flee conflicts, violence, persecution and human rights abuses. Climate change adds further complexities, as the com- bination of climate events and socio-economic factors are causing more and more people to leave agri- culture and rural areas. But rural people also move for other reasons related to access to better and higher education, as well as other services, and often due to family matters. Youth are particularly prone to migrate, in search of better opportunities and the fulfilment of their per- sonal goals and aspirations. Y outh in Africa are facing high under-employment and unemployment rates and many move away from rural areas because of the unattractiveness of low productivity agriculture. With around 380 million people entering the labour market by 2030 (of which about 220 million in rural areas), the challenge for sub-Saharan Africa in the next decades is to generate enough employment to absorb its booming labour force. Therefore, any plan to tackle the challenges associated with migration must take into account its agricultural and rural dimensions. Agriculture and rural development must be an integral part of any response to large migratory movements to harness the potential of migration for development. Throughout history, migrants have fuelled human progress, sparked innovation, spread ideas and shaped the world we live in. Migrants contribute to the economic development of their origin, transit and destina- tion countries, through knowledge, skills and technology transfers. In 2015, the total flow of international remittances received by sub-Saharan Africa alone was USD 32 billion, compared with USD 50 billion of ODA payments. Investing a portion of these remittances in farm and non-farm activities can create a virtuous circle of employment creation and inclusive growth. But nothing is automatic. The benefits of migration must be positively promoted through policies that jointly harness its potential and minimize its negative effects. In addition to programmes on agriculture and rural development, Early Warning and Early Action mechanisms, as well as social protection systems that are risk-informed and shock-responsive, can increase peoples resilience and reinforce efforts to end protracted crises and sustain peace. Achieving the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development will help provide people with sustainable livelihood alternatives in rural areas, facilitate safe, regular and orderly migratory movements, and support migrants as agents of development. The idea of this Atlas, resulting from the continued and fruitful collaboration between FAO and CIRAD, stems exactly from the need of new analytical tools that can improve our understanding of the complex and heterogeneous patterns and drivers of migration, helping us shape more coordinated and coherent actions. It aims at providing a stimulating overview on migrations dynamics and drivers in sub-Saharan Africa which will feed the policy debate between local stakeholders, governments and the international community.
