The African diaspora to the West is a complex phenomenon driven by structural and relational/value-based factors. This entry examines causes and impacts on countries of origin and destination: benefits for hosts, costs for those losing talent. In ecclesial dialogue, African Churches denounce brain drain and affirm the right not to migrate, while Western Churches promote hospitality. The conclusions call for shared responsibility and the right to a dignified future at home.
La diaspora africana verso l’Occidente è un fenomeno complesso, spinto da fattori strutturali e relazionali/valoriali. Nella voce si esaminano cause e impatti su Paesi d’origine e destinazione: benefici per chi accoglie, costi per chi perde talenti. Nel dialogo ecclesiale, le Chiese africane denunciano brain drain e diritto a non emigrare; quelle occidentali promuovono accoglienza. Nelle conclusioni, si invoca corresponsabilità e diritto a futuro dignitoso a casa propria

Abstract
The African diaspora to the West is a complex phenomenon driven by structural and relational/value-based factors. This entry examines causes and impacts on countries of origin and destination: benefits for hosts, costs for those losing talent. In ecclesial dialogue, African Churches denounce brain drain and affirm the right not to migrate, while Western Churches promote hospitality. The conclusions call for shared responsibility and the right to a dignified future at home.
