Africa: Promoting AU Free Movement Protocol …CSOs Pledge Support


Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on migration across Africa have reiterated their commitment to promoting the ratification of the African Union (AU) free movement protocol.

This, they emphasised, would be done through advocacy campaigns, government engagement, and collaborations with regional institutions.

The CSOs reiterated their commitment during a two-day high-impact hybrid workshop and advocacy dialogue held in Accra from July 28-29 this year.

It was co-organised by the CSO Coalition on Migration in Ghana, with support from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) through the Programme, “Shaping Development-Oriented Migration (MEG).”
