A majority of Africans support the free movement of people across borders, but many remain cautious about immigration into their own countries, Afrobarometer’s new African insights flagship report shows. The 2026 African insights report, the third in Afrobarometer’s annual flagship series, draws on 50,961 face-to-face interviews conducted in 38 countries in 2024/2025. It examines citizen views on five aspects of Africa’s relationship with the world: trade, migration, great-power competition, global voice, and climate change. The desire to emigrate is highest among the young and the educated, and is driven overwhelmingly by economic motivations. The new report is accompanied by country scorecards that provide an at-a-glance snapshot of key indicators on international relations for each of the surveyed countries.
