This paper reports on the findings of a survey conducted by the Sussex Centre for Migration
Research on migration and pro-poor policy in Africa. The survey covered existing literature, and
discussions with DFID country offices across the continent, and was conducted in early 2004. The
paper is complemented by three separate papers, on Africa in general, West and Southern Africa,
which are published separately by the Development Research Centre on Migration, Globalisation
and Poverty, and together by the Department for International Development.
