The ECOWAS Commission has convened a two-day stakeholders’ workshop to discuss stabilization in the region.
The multi-stakeholder dialogue which is being held at the ECOWAS Commission Headquarters, Abuja – Nigeria seeks to create a platform for international, regional, and local actors to share best practices and build consensus for stabilization initiatives in the region.
The key objectives of the event are to share lessons from the stabilization partners on the approach, principles and tenets of stabilization and as well understand the practicalities of implementing stabilization in Africa.
In a bid to consolidate peace, stabilize economies and create sustainable opportunities for vulnerable populations in post conflict and fragile regions in West Africa, the workshop also strive to include sharing of best practices from UNDP experience and establish a network/platform of key actors involved in stabilization in the region.
