Without people, products cannot cross borders. This is a testament that the mobility of cross-border traders is critical in moving goods within Africa, where a massive portion of economic output comes from informal trade. But why do migration and trade have such disparate bearings on African regional integration policies, where there's much focus on facilitating the trade of goods and less on streamlining migration processes for the people carrying the goods?

Join trade facilitation experts Lily Sommer and Pierre Bonthonneau with migration expert Chando Mapoma of the International Organization for Migration (IOM - UN Migration) on the Border Insights segment. They exchange views on ways to integrate human mobility into trade. Stick around to hear this episode's Border Voice from Michael and his experience as a trader crossing the Nakonde-Tunduma border between Zambia and Tanzania.
