Journalists and migration advocates from across West Africa gathered in Dakar today to tackle one of the region’s most urgent issues—migration. The high-level conference, hosted by INFORMA with support from the European Union, aimed to foster regional dialogue and collaboration between media professionals and civil society actors.

Participants explored the complex realities surrounding migration in the sub-region, from root causes and policy gaps to the role of storytelling in shifting narratives. The event provided a platform for shared learning and strategy building, as stakeholders push for more humane and informed migration responses across West Africa.

As migration trends continue to shape the region’s future, organizers hope this forum marks a step forward in promoting dignity, rights, and sustainable solutions.
