THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMMUNICATION STRATEGY AND PLAN OF ACTION

FOR THE AUC MIGRATION AND MOBILITY ACTIVITIES

Reference Number: 83311686

1. BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE

Africa has several migration legal instruments and policies that provide the Continent, Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and Member States with guidance on migration management, including the 2006 AU Migration Policy Framework for Africa (MPFA), the Joint Labour Migration Programme (JLMP) and the Protocol on Free Movement of Persons in Africa.

While the MPFA had been in existence for 10 years, its implementation had not been evaluated since its adoption. In this regard, in 2016 the AUC embarked on an evaluation of the MPFA.

One of the major findings of the evaluation was that: There is limited sensitization on the MPFA by the AUC. Consequently, most Member States/RECs are unaware of the framework and therefore do not make use or reference the framework in managing migration. To this end, the evaluation recommended that:

i) The AUC should embark on sensitization campaigns focused on creating awareness of the MPFA among Member States and RECs.

ii) There is need for on-going advocacy to keep government officials, Civil Society Organization (CSOs) and other stakeholders in tune with the aspirations of the MPFA.

Following the evaluation, the AUC revised the 2006 AU Migration Policy Framework for Africa, which included the formulation of a plan of action for its implementation: The Plan of Action (2018 – 2030) of the 2018 (revised) MPFA*.* Activities in the plan of action seek to address recommendations under the various thematic areas that are identified in the 2018 (revised) MPFA. In this regard one of the priorities of the Plan of Action (2018 – 2030) of the 2018 MPFA is to develop a communication and awareness raising strategy, and popularize the 2018 MPFA among Member States, RECs, CSOs and other stakeholders.

While the MPFA appears to be the most comprehensive framework of the African Union on migration, other instruments have been developed and/or approved that enrich the AU policy framework on migration and mobility. In addition to the JLMP and the Protocol on Free Movement of Persons in Africa mentioned above, the Common African Position on the UN Global Compact on Migration can also be cited. In addition to the foregoing, the AUC is also undertaking important initiatives in other thematic areas of migration such as remittances, diaspora engagement, border governance and informal cross-border trade, and social security and protection in labour context. These instruments, policy frameworks, guidelines and programmes, if used and applied effectively, are meant to have long term positive effects on migration and mobility in Africa: hence the need for the AUC to communicate in a consistent and efficient way on these frameworks and all relevant initiatives that contribute in harnessing the potential of migration and mobility in Africa.

It is in this backdrop that AUC is seeking GIZ partnership in the process of strengthening its communication on migration and mobility.

In light of this partnership, GIZ seeks to higher the services of a consultant for the development of a Communication Strategy and Plan of Action for the AUC migration and mobility activities.
