Taller: Oportunidades para la Cooperación Transfronteriza en África Occidental
African and European experts meet at Casa África to debate in a technical session on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of African cross -border cooperation.
They will discuss the role of cross-border cooperation in integration processes in Africa, the different initiatives undertaken by different supra-national African institutions and by national governments with the support of some European institutions, as well as opportunities that could emerge in the near future.
This workshop hopes to be a contribution to the regional integration process and is part of a report that is being written for DG Regio (European Commission) on the perspectives for Cross-border Cooperation in West Africa, which will include recommendations for the organisations that fund cooperation with Africa, starting with the EU itself.
This initiative hopes to examine the possibilities of cross-border cooperation in West Africa, examine the initiatives that are in place and where pilot schemes could be set up, look into the attitude of the public administrations and that of other sectors with regards to cross-border cooperation and propose alternatives to make the most of better European practices in some specific areas.
