Migration governance across Africa is increasingly mediated through digital data systems, including biometric registration, border surveillance platforms, refugee management databases, and identity infrastructures. These systems are not neutral administrative tools; they actively shape how mobility is defined, regulated, and contested. They also reflect a complex mix of domestic state capacity, humanitarian governance, and external influence from international organizations and partner states. While existing research on migration datafication often focuses on Europe or global institutions, Africa is a critical but under-theorized site where multiple overlapping data regimes are being developed and deployed. This project conceptualizes Africa not as a passive source of migration data, but as a diverse landscape of migration data governance regimes shaped by distinct political, humanitarian, and geopolitical priorities. Through comparative analysis of South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria, the study examines how digital migration infrastructures are deployed to address different governance objectives, including border security, refugee management, administrative coordination, and externally driven migration control. By analysing how these systems are designed, funded, and implemented, the project investigates the ways in which data infrastructures shape mobility, governance, rights, and questions of data sovereignty across the African continent.
