The First Edition of the EAC Migration Statistics Report, has been specifically generated to provide a snapshot of migration and mobility in the region and to highlight the available data. The process of developing this report and the subsequent editions, jointly with the Partner States, will go a long way in the harmonization and timely production of migration and mobility statistics in the region. The aspiration is that the improvement of data availability at the Partner State level as well as feedback from readers will make future editions gradually more responsive to user needs. Subsequently, this will foster data driven policies and programmes for the protection of migrants and people on the move.
