The 2022 Africa ‘Visa Openness Index (VOI)’ report shows that African countries are making progress in their freedom of travel policies, most of which had been severely curtailed by the Covid-19 crisis. The yearly publication, prepared by the African Development Bank Group in collaboration with the African Union Commission, is now in its seventh edition and was launched on December 11 on the sidelines of the 2022 African Economic Conference in Mauritius.
