Migration policy framework for Africa and plan of action (2018 – 2030) It also highlights cross-cutting issues, including the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Migration and development Migration data and research Human rights of migrants Principles of non-discrimination Migration, poverty and conflict Migration and health; Migration and environment Migration and gender Migration, children, adolescents and youths 10. Migration and older persons 11. Inter-state and inter-regional cooperation The MPFA provides guidelines and principles to assist governments and RECs in the 28 formulation and implementation of their own national and regional migration policies in accordance with their priorities and resources. Since migration flows, patterns, volumes and dynamics vary among States and regions, the MPFA does not provide resource mobilisation mechanisms for implementation or monitoring and evaluation of the recommended actions, as these would be determined by States or regions on the basis of their migration strategies and policies, and the migration dynamics which have shaped them. However, relevant UN Agencies and International Organisations, NGOs, CSOs and specialised agencies and institutions, with migration expertise and competencies, could support governments and RECs with the necessary resource mobilisation.
