Abstract

Foreign immigration policies, knowledge transfer, and their implications for sustainable development are interconnected aspects that play a crucial role in the socio-economic progress of African countries. This paper delved into the historical context of foreign immigration policy in Africa and its impact of knowledge transfer and sustainable development, and analyse the contributions of key figures to these fields; healthcare, education, technology and agriculture. The paper provide a balanced perspective on the positive and negative aspects of foreign immigration policy and knowledge transfer in African countries, along with potential future developments. The paper concluded that the role of favourable immigration policies and knowledge transfer in the actualization of sustainable growth and development of Africa as a continent cannot be overemphasised. Hence, by investing in the transfer of knowledge in different sectors such as healthcare, education, technology, agriculture and innovation, African countries can harness the power of knowledge transfer to achieve sustainable growth and development as well as improve the lives of their citizens.
