Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI): Bilateral Migration Projections

<b>Data Set Description</b><br>The projections for bilateral migration flows are available at 5-year intervals from 2015 to 2050 for combination of 2 sets of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) scenarios and 3 sets of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) scenarios. <br>These data underpin the African
Shifts Report, produced by the ACMI and enabled by the Global Centre for
Climate Mobility (GCCM). The ACMI was launched in September 2021 as a
joint initiative of the GCCM, the African Union Commission (AUC), the
United Nations System (UN), and the World Bank.<br>The unit of analysis for the projections are directed migration corridor from an origin country to a receiving country in the African continent. There are 46 African countries and thus 2,070<br>unique directed corridors, for example from Kenya to Uganda. Flows from Africa to other regions of the world (i.e. Europe) are not modelled here.<br>The data are available in two different formats, raw data and summary files. The raw data are provided as a list of 10 data arrays, which provides probabilistic migration projections for each corridor at five-year intervals. The summary files are provided at both the corridor and continental (aggregate) level. <br>Data set format:<br>The raw data are available in RDS format for individual and cumulative flow projections. The downloadable is a compressed zip file containing: 1) RDS file, and 2) PDF Documentation.<br><br><br>
