2. PARTICIPATION
Of the 14 countries invited 4 (Togo,
Sierra Leone, Gabon,
Guinea) were
unable to attend the seminar for diverse reasons. The absence of Togo
(like that of Liberia
which could not even be invited) is explained by the exceptional political
context prevailing at present in this country. Sierra
Leone, Guinea
and Gabon were
unable to attend because of reasons pertaining to the invitation itself or for
logistic problems. Considering the importance of migration in these countries,
particular care will be given to inform them of the results (see appendix 1 for
the list of participants).
It is also regrettable that the ECOWAS, with whom informal contact had been
made as of last July, did not reply to the invitation and other official
correspondence sent about it. The seminar did, however, benefit by the
participation of Mrs. King, FAO consultant on mission for this organization.
The seminar organizers expressed the hope that this participation would
facilitate future involvement of this regional organization in the follow-up of
the seminar's recommendations.
