Benefiting Member States
Benin Burkina Faso Guinea Mali Senegal
This project has sought to significantly contribute to the protection of human rights of migrants and displaced persons in West Africa, with particular attention to Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Senegal and Togo. The project has had two distinct components: 1) The creation and pilot-testing of a training curriculum on migration and human rights through workshops with a core group of university professors and officials from selected ministries in the participating countries; and, 2) Support to one specialist in each of the countries to adapt the core curriculum to special national contexts.
The pilot training took place over two weeks in Senegal, with final national products produced over a period of four months. Methods and means of further disseminating the training in the four countries, and further in the West Africa region were discussed.
The contribution from the 1035 Facility allowed for the implementation of this pilot phase as an initial, stage-setting activity.
