The ECOWAS Commission has launched a three-day thematic workshop in Abuja to strengthen the nexus between governance, human rights, and early warning systems in West Africa. The workshop aims to enhance the region’s capacity for effective governance and conflict prevention, bringing together high-level stakeholders to discuss key issues and develop strategies for improvement.
The workshop is supported by the ECOWAS Peace, Security and Governance (EPSG) project, which is co-financed by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The project is designed to promote peace, security, and governance in West Africa, and the workshop is a key component of this effort.
The EPSG project is co-implemented by several organizations, including the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Expertise France, and the International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies (FIIAPP). These organizations bring their expertise and experience to the project, working together to support the ECOWAS Commission in its efforts to strengthen governance and early warning systems in the region.
The workshop is expected to contribute to the development of effective strategies for promoting good governance and preventing conflicts in West Africa. By bringing together high-level stakeholders and experts, the workshop provides a platform for discussion, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing, ultimately enhancing the region’s capacity for peace, security, and sustainable development.
