Summary/Abstract: This policy paper analyzes the migration flows from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to the European Union (EU), focusing on Nigeria and the Czech Republic. It identifies the main trends and factors influencing migration from SSA, such as population growth, economic situation, security issues, and climate change. It also evaluates the current strategy of the Czech Republic in addressing migration from SSA, mainly through humanitarian aid and foreign development cooperation. Finally, it proposes some recommendations for the future policy making in this area, such as increasing the official development assistance, diversifying the Czech export, supporting the creation of jobs and education in SSA, enhancing the coordination among different actors, and framing migration as an opportunity rather than a threat.
