CRDEA advocates to African Union member states for two complementary policy measures. The first is a broad right of return: formal permanent residency for documented descendants of enslaved Africans. The second is a structured investment pathway: a dedicated SME-scale residency tier for diaspora members already investing in local economies. Each is presented as its own proposal, submitted independently to the ministries best positioned to evaluate it..
