Understanding intra-regional labour migration in the East African Community (EAC)

This report investigates intra-labour migration in the East African Community (EAC) through a literature review of existing evidence.1 The aim of this study, commissioned by DFID and Sida and conducted by Samuel Hall, Maastricht University and the University of Oxford, is to generate new evidence to support government and development interventions aimed at eliminating poverty and reducing vulnerabilities in the EAC by exploring the potential of labour migration across five countries: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda.
