    id21 Development Research Reporting Service, 2007
    The emigrant African population holds significant unexploited potential for the development of the continent. But the complexities of African migration are poorly understood. Further research to guide policy must take account of how different groups of African migrants respond to the challenges and opportunities of globalisation.
