State of Migration in East and Horn of Africa

The United States has increasingly recognized Africa’s pivotal role in meeting the defining global challenges of our time. As a result, U.S. policy objectives - including advancing democracy and governance, peace and security, trade and investment, and economic development - have been reframed to reflect Africa’s contributions, leadership, and potential as an engine of growth and innovation. The 2022 State of Migration in East and Horn of Africa Report identifies how regional integration and human mobility can help unlock this transformative potential and contribute to East and the Horn of Africa’s socioeconomic development and political stability.
On July 11, USIP, the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, and one of the report’s co-publishers - the International Organization for Migration - held a discussion on the report’s key findings and recommendations. The conversation also touched on the region’s significant advances in key policy areas such as trade, labor mobility, border management, digitalization, health, gender and climate change.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
