This K4DD Rapid Evidence Review collates available evidence on current migration trends in Africa, with a focus on flows within the continent and between Africa and Europe.
It explores the scale, direction and composition of migration, the key trends across regular, irregular, forced and circular migration, and the primary drivers shaping these movements. This review forms the first part of a two-part series; the next review report (Jose Maliakal, 2026) examines the role of the African Union (AU) and related structures in engaging with migration.
