The impact of international migration, both South-South as well as South-North, on the economic, social and political life of the people in Eastern and Southern Africa [was] not well documented and studied,� and �the evidence-base for policy on migration and development [was] very weak.� With this in mind, OSSREA�s invitation to conduct a study on international migration in Africa had the following objectives: To analyze the nature and type of South-South migration, focusing on issues, such as brain gain and/or brain drain, remittance flows, technical knowhow transfers, violations of the right of African migrants and gender dimensions of migration; To investigate the dynamics of migration from Eastern and Southern Africa to the Arab Gulf States as well as to developed countries, focusing on the skills of migrants, brain gain and/or drain, remittance flows, technical know-how transfers, violations of the rights of African migrants and gender dimension of migrants; and to assess the successes, impediments and challenges of African international migrants from Eastern and Southern Africa and to formulate policy recommendations to maximize the gains and minimize the costs associated with international migration in Africa.

International Migration and Development in Eastern and Southern Africa
Preface This book grew out of the “Call for Proposals” onInternational Migration and Development: Sub-Saharan Africa in Perspective,which the Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSSREA) made in 2012. The proposals were selected on competitive basis, after which OSSREA provided the authors with the necessary financial support to undertake their respective studies. According to OSSREA, “The impact of international migration, both South-South as well as South-North, on the economic, social and political life of the people in Eastern and Southern Africa [was] not well documented and studied,” and “the evidence-base for policy on migration and development [was] very weak.” With this in mind, OSSREA’s invitation to conduct a study on international migration in Africa had the following objectives: xTo analyze the nature and type of South-South migration, focusing on issues, such as brain gain and/or brain drain, remittance flows, technical know-how transfers, violations of the right of African migrants and gender dimensions of migration; xTo investigate the dynamics of migration from Eastern and Southern Africa to the Arab Gulf States as well as to developed countries, focusing on the skills of migrants, brain gain and/or drain, remittance flows, technical know-how transfers, violations of the rights of African migrants and gender dimension of migrants; and xTo assess the successes, impediments and challenges of African international migrants from Eastern and Southern Africa and to formulate policy recommendations to maximize the gains and minimize the costs associated with international migration in Africa. In the chapters that follow, more focus has been given to South-South migration partly because the majority African international migrants remain within Africa and partly because South-South migration remains an understudied area within migration studies. This feature sets the book apart from other books on international migration in Africa. Indeed, the book may be unique because it puts more emphasis on inter-African migration processes without neglecting the migration of Africans outside of the continent. And for this in particular and for their efforts to write on a topic not many have written before, I thank the authors. I also thank OSSREA for providing the authors with the necessary funds to complete their respective chapters, and Seton Hall University for granting my sabbatical leave, as a result of which I had enough time to serve as editor of the book.
