Objectives
Southern Africa is a region on the move. Longstanding patterns, forms, and impacts of internal and cross-border migration have undergone major restructuring in the last two decades with considerable implications for sound migration management, livelihood strategies of the poor, human rights observance, and poverty and inequality reduction policies.
This briefing examines the shifts in migration patterns in Southern Africa since 1990, considering their implications for immigration policy reform, pro-poor development initiatives, and poverty and inequality reduction. The briefing is based on research conducted on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) as a whole and the countries of Malawi, Mozambique, South
Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe where DFID has particular interests. The research was commissioned by the Migration Team within the Policy Division of DFID, and seeks to inform policy, further constructive debate and suggest measures for mainstreaming migration in development.
