Abstract: As far back as the year 2000, migration management has been an important area of collaboration between the European Union (EU) and Africa. The two regions and their representative collective organs have jointly adopted and implemented several policy instruments aimed at curbing irregular migration from Africa to the EU. Using a qualitative approach, this paper seeks to analyze the EU – Africa cooperation on migration. The paper reflects on the effectiveness of the policy instruments adopted, paying attention to their rhetoric and the ongoing migration crisis. The paper finds the policy instruments to have been ineffective and concludes that EU-Africa cooperation on migration has failed. The reasons for this failure are presented and recommendations for a better and effective EU – Africa cooperation in the field of migration are made.
