Members of the Parliament made this move during a delocalised meeting of the Joint Committees of Education, Science and Culture / Health and Information Technology that   deliberated on the theme, “Religious Tolerance and Harmony: Essential Factors for Development, Peace and Stability in the ECOWAS Region,”  in Praia, Cabo Verde.

The draft Plan, which was product of the Committee’s engagements which were held in Praia, Cabo Verde from 14th to 18th September, 2022 was announced by the co-chairman of the Joint Committee Hon. Aime  Assine at the close of the meeting on Friday September 16 , 2022 at the Chamber of the Cabo Verde Parliament.

The ECOWAS Parliament’s Religious Tolerance Plan is expected to be tabled at the plenary session of the Community Parliament where it is expected to get a nod from the Committee of the Whole House.

Its key recommendations include to “Promote in Member States, structures that are capable of ensuring enforcement of laws, political will for religious tolerance and engagements for inter-faith activities.”
