West African countries have been encouraged to embrace international and regional cooperation to improve migration management in the sub-region.

They contend that the root causes of migration are numerous and complex, including high population growth compared to available jobs.

Hence, there is a need for collaboration to address these challenges and maximize the positives of migration.
