Specifically, the mission will enable IGAD to gain knowledge and understanding of the governance and functioning of the free movement of persons regime in the ECOWAS region, by examining the legislation, policies, regulations, procedures and instruments that have made it a success, as well as the procedures and instruments that have made the regime an effective tool for peace and development in the ECOWAS region.

In her opening address, the vice president of the ECOWAS Commission Damtien Tchintchibidja, said, the event demonstrated the commitment to regional integration and the spirit of collaboration while also commending the role played by ECOWAS experts in drafting the IGAD Protocol on the Free Movement of Persons.

She acknowledged the support of international partners, including the European Union, IOM and GIZ, and expressed appreciation for their support for ECOWAS initiatives.
