Reforçar a gestão de dados sobre as migrações em Angola: Avaliação e recomendações

As migrações, internas e internacionais, são um fenómeno de grande relevância em África. São fluxos multiformes, de grande amplitude e na sua grande maioria internos ao continente (FIDH, 2007). As migrações africanas são quantitativamente muito importantes, tanto em termos de rácio relativamente à população, como em números absolutos, quando comparados com outras zonas do mundo. Ancorados na história africana, nos tempos mais recentes os movimentos migratórios têm-se desenvolvido  e tornado mais complexos. Os destinos multiplicaram-se e os itinerários alongaram-se (FIDH, 2007).
