The effects of Covid-19 lockdowns on movements of people across Africa need not be over emphasized. But suffice to say that Africa has so far weathered

the storm commendably. It is even more remarkable that according to a report by the African Development Bank , the top 10 countries’ average score on Africa Openness Visa Index rose to 0.094 in 2021, up from 0.092 in 2020.

Although visa openness as a whole in Africa dropped over the last one year, Benin Republic, The Gambia and Seychelles have led the pack in welcoming visitors to their countries from across the continent; all the three offering visa-free access to Africans in 2021, as they also did in 2021. Namibia, Sierra Leone and Tanzania also joined the top performers, as was Rwanda.
