Battle On to Win Back Professionals

Each year, hundreds of African students and professionals leave the continent to study or to seek greener pastures abroad, especially in countries like the UK, US, Canada and Australia. This has been attributed to the many conflicts and the economic collapse that parts of the continent have been experiencing over the years. The African Union (AU) has recognised the negative effect the steady migration of professionals is having on the continent. Some initiatives have been developed to engage with groups in the diaspora to develop the continent.
