"The report speaks on labour mobility; the impact of South–South migration on development; diaspora and remittances; internal migration and displacement; and irregular and return migration, as well as some cross-cutting themes such as human rights and environmental migration.

Particular focus has to be given to the development outcomes of South–South migration. The ACP Observatory studies show that these impacts are mainly felt in the educational sector. In this sense, South–South mobility can be looked at as a medium- to long-term livelihood strategy that aims to diversify income sources and risks faced by households, as well as provide a way to ensure better education for the next generation. 

It is important to mention that while this report focuses on South–South migration, these flows are part of a global system. Therefore, South–South migration should be addressed according to its specificities, while keeping in mind that its drivers not only originate from within the global South."
