IGAD HARMONISING IMMIGRATION DATA

Member States of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) are ramping up efforts to harmonise and improve migration and displacement data to improve governance and policy-making. The IGAD region, which includes Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda, experiences significant migration dynamics, with large-scale movements of migrants, refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) driven by complex social, economic, and political factors.
