Monitoring Migration Policy Frameworks, Treaties and Conventions for Development in Africa

International migration has been stimulated by the growing trends of globalisation, and enhanced by combinations of economic, political, and social factors. Considering the myriad of challenges and opportunities of migration, the study reviews three bodies of practical and theoretical endeavours - migration policy frameworks, treaties and conventions in Africa, using a thematic analysis of secondary data. The Gates's model of effective implementation of social policies was employed toward monitoring of migration policies in Africa for effective and sustainable outcomes. While most migration policies in Africa provide comprehensive guidelines on collaborations toward border administration, uneven migration, migration data and development, migrant rights and inland migration etc., gaps exist in their implementations and relevance to African migration outcomes. Therefore, the study emphasised the significance of rigorous engagement among stakeholders in leveraging socio-economic opportunities in Africa and harnessing human mobility potentials for inclusive development and regional integration.d
