This month's Africa in Fact looks at migration and displacement.
Every year, millions of Africans pack their belongings and leave behind families and friends. A hostile environment-war, persecution, insecurity-pushes some to seek refuge. Others leave searching for a job, better education or adventure.
Government performance underlies most migration stories. Improving it promotes voluntary, desirable migration: it matches skills and capital with opportunities in other places. And it also reduces forced migration, allowing people to remain with their families and friends rather than fleeing from war or persecution.
