Contested Mobility Norms in Africa: Reconciling Visions, Policies and Practice
The report “Contested Mobility Norms in Africa: Reconciling Visions, Policies and Practice”, prepared by Amanda Bisong and Franzisca Zanker and published by the Heinrich Böll Foundation in April 2024, brings together more than 20 interviews with African experts on migration and mobility. Together, they provide a detailed insight into discrepancies between the normative understanding, policies and actual practice of Migration on the African continent. The report aims to contribute to a better understanding of the practical, socio-cultural and political challenges of migration and mobility in Africa.
