Abstract

In recognition of the benefits of migration and the challenges associated with
its management, many governments and development partners have, in recent
years, been discussing how to develop effective frameworks for migration
governance at the national, regional and international levels (Mangala, 2017).
As a result of the increasing realisation that population mobility can contribute
to socio-economic transformation of both migrant sending and receiving
areas, migration management was, in 2015, included in the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
(OECD/ILO 2018), marking the first time that migration is formally integrated
into the global development agenda.
