Migration in Kenya: A Country Profile 2015

Migration in Kenya: A Country Profile provides an overview of Kenya’s migration data, trends and the country’s legal framework and governance structures as they pertain to migration. The report also describes the impact of migration on the country’s health, environment and socioeconomic development. The report can be considered a first step towards an integrated and effective migration data management framework for the country. The migration profiling exercise was undertaken at the request of the Government of Kenya, through the Department of Immigration, and with funding from the IOM Development Fund.
