Enhancing Labour Mobility for Internally Displaced Youth and Refugees in Africa

Africa is home to the world’s youngest population and over 45 million displaced people (Africa Center for Strategic Studies, 2025). This powerful policy journal explores how labour mobility can become a pathway to dignity, inclusion, and economic opportunity for displaced youth across the continent.

Produced by African Leadership Academy in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), this edition brings together cutting-edge policy briefs from emerging African leaders, examining real-world case studies from Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and beyond. The journal offers practical, evidence-based recommendations on skills recognition, migration governance, youth employment, and regional mobility frameworks such as AfCFTA.

Whether you’re a policymaker, practitioner, researcher, or youth leader, this journal equips you with actionable insights to transform displacement into opportunity.
