🌍 Climate-induced floods and droughts devastate African communities, but funding to address the damage can be slow to arrive.

This week in Addis Ababa, AUC and REC experts explored Loss and Damage and access to climate finance.

20 years of the MPFA have helped shape Africa's continental approach to migration governance. The AU Migration Advisory Council marks another step forward: stronger cooperation & a platform for Africa-led dialogue on migration & mobility. Looking forward to the next chapter.

20 years. One continental vision. A new chapter.

For two decades, the Migration Policy Framework for Africa (#MPFA) has guided Africa’s approach to migration governance. As we mark #MPFA20, the African Union is moving to establish a Migration Advisory Council (MAC) - bringing together Heads of Immigration from AU Member States and REC officials to provide strategic direction on border governance.

First consultative meeting on establishing the MAC: Lomé, Togo | 28–30 September.

Stronger borders. Freer movement. Deeper trade under the AfCFTA. The next 20 years will require more than policy. They will require institutions, cooperation, and Africa-led solutions. Read the MPFA: tinyurl.com/4jpyp527

Congrats to @_AfricanUnion on the launch of #MPFA20. In 20 yrs, MPFA helped African countries improve how they manage migration. Proud to have supported the 2018 revision & efforts to reinforce it as a key tool for migration governance in Africa. Here's to the next chapter!

Today, we launch #MPFA20, a year-long celebration of that legacy and a look forward to what's next.From now through the year ahead, join us as we reflect on two decades of progress and chart the course for the next phase of migration governance in Africa.
