Here's what you need to know about the Migration Policy Framework for Africa (MPFA). #MoveAfrica

For over two decades, the MPFA has guided how African countries manage migration and mobility. The revised framework (2018–2030) provides a roadmap to help Member States develop coordinated, rights-based, and development-oriented migration policies through eight key pillars:
1. Migration Governance – Promoting safe, orderly, and dignified migration while protecting the rights of migrants.
2. Labour Migration & Education – Advancing fair labour mobility, skills recognition, and education systems that respond to labour market needs.
3. Diaspora Engagement – Harnessing the expertise, investment, and knowledge of the African diaspora to support the continent's development.
4. Border Governance – Strengthening border management and cross-border cooperation to facilitate mobility, security, and regional integration.
5. Irregular Migration – Expanding safe and regular migration pathways while combating migrant smuggling and human trafficking.
6. Forced Displacement – Enhancing protection and durable solutions for refugees, asylum seekers, returnees, and internally displaced persons.
7. Internal Migration – Supporting policies that respond to rural-urban migration, urbanisation, and internal mobility.
8. Migration & Trade – Leveraging the AfCFTA and the AU Free Movement of Persons Protocol to advance trade, labour mobility, and continental integration.

Leaders of journalists’ organisations from 10 Eastern African countries have gathered in Mombasa, Kenya, to strengthen regional solidarity, advance media freedom, shape informed migration narratives and build common advocacy on the challenges facing journalists across the region.

With support from @ILO through the Better Regional Migration Management Programme funded by 🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK, the meeting reinforces our collective commitment to stronger, safer and more independent journalism.

With support from @JLMPCoordinator, IOM 🇺🇬 is proud to join the Trainer of Trainers on Migrant Welfare Programmes (MWPs) for African Member States, running from 16-18 June in Nairobi! As one of the few advancing Member States, Uganda has completed a feasibility study & roadmap.

Uganda is among the few African Member States making progress in establishing a Migrant Welfare Programme (MWP). On the sidelines of the ongoing MWP Training of Trainers in Nairobi, organized by the #JLMP, I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Milton Turyasiima, Assistant Commissioner for Employment Services at Uganda’s Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, about the country’s journey. Coming soon!

Thank you, India! The second shipment Ebola medical countermeasures arrived today at Africa’s Ebola Continental Supply Chain mechanism in Entebbe, Uganda bringing the total to just under 50MT.

With support from Uganda National Medical Stores (@nmsuganda), UNHAS EU Humanitarian Aid Flight, and the Ministry of Health of the DRC, critical medical countermeasures are being transported to support the ongoing Bundibugyo Ebola Virus Disease response in Ituri Province, DRC.

This operation demonstrates the power of African-led coordination, continental solidarity, and strategic partnerships.
