This paper deals with internal and international migration, both of which are large-scale with impacts on economic growth and poverty reduction in many regions of the country. This paper relies mainly on existing data, but also draws on some new analysis of secondary data. The study benefited from insights gained at a stakeholder workshop involving staff from grassroots programmes of both governmental and non-governmental agencies. Key policy makers were also interviewed in order both to gain an understanding of current government concerns and to validate our findings.
